ZulaWorld, a fun and educational online virtual world for kids ages 5 and up, is based on the PBS show The Zula Patrol. In Zula World’s virtual world, kids can create their own avatar, fly their own spaceship, and discover for themselves that when it comes to science, exploring is never boring. Sebastian has found that there are endless possibilities when in Zula World and enjoys playing the games to earn Zlinkles to by stuff for his spaceship and pet Fweeble for example. Players can see other players and ask them pre-written questions such as “Want to play a game?”. All ‘talking’ between members is via pre-written phrases so your kids are not at risk of reading anything inappropriate.
In ZulaWorld™, a user’s experience is full of discoveries and play that encourage and reward scientific thinking. They will play games, go on quests, and be assigned missions that reinforce and foster the development of their science, math, and critical thinking skills!

Another fun site is Webosaurs (www.beta.webosaurs.com). My 5 and 7 year old sons love it!
This would be great for my 7 and 9 year old step-daughters. It’s educational and fun.
My 4-yo son is pretty computer savvy, but I am looking for safe and educational alternatives.
my 5 year old daughter would love this
i would love to win this for my 6-yr-old nephew!
My son is 5 years old and he has such a wonderful imagination. He is like a sponge and is taking in all the information he can at this point and I know it could only expand his knowledge and increase his desire to learn more and more by being a VIP member of Zula Patrol.
I was stunned when my then 6 year old was telling me about weather on other planets, only to discover she was getting it all from the Zula Patrol. She’s 8 now, and still happily watches it with her 6 year old sister. She consults her “Molto-pedia” whenever her sister has a question. We love Zula! They are both already free members, but the requests for being able to do more are rolling in.
My son would love this! My husband is an IT guy, so our children at the age of 2 and 4 want to be on the computer all the time too! Combine computers with a superheroish world….you got it!
