Playing Bride Dress-Up and Other Online Dress-Up Games

CLICK HERE to go to the wedding dress-up page. There are other dress-up games there, too, like Pirate Girl and School and dress-ups based on celebrities popular with teens and pre-teens.

In addition to the dress-up games, they have other free online games like Makeover Games and Hair Games and more.

Some themes are more for teenagers but the games are very simplistic and the actual playing of them is geared for even young kids. It's kind of like the old Colorforms, only online.

Oh yeah, see that picture up there? That's the wedding gown I designed.

Paper Toys

Wow. Here's a website with all kinds of paper models you can cut out and make. We're not just talking your simple little airplanes here. Want to make a paper model of Bill Gates' house? They got that. How about a Mississippi Riverboat or a school bus or the White House or even the Taj Mahal? THEY GOT IT. You just have to see this place and check out ALL their models. The best part is, it's FREE.

A boy from Israel sent in to the Paper Toys website this photo of the models he's made... so far.

SAFETY AND HELP WARNING: Very young children may need assistance in using scissors and cutting things out as well as putting things together. They can color and draw on the models and with an adult's help, feel proud of their accomplishment. Older kids to teens and adults will have a lot of fun here.

SECURITY WARNING FOR KIDS AND PARENTS: The games I link to are okay, in my opinion, for kids to play HOWEVER, this and ALL other game websites exist by advertising and so you will see ads to buy games and/or other stuff. I think it is fair to warn kids and parents that they will be seeing ads. Kids, NEVER download anything to your computer without letting your parents know first that you want to do that.

How's the Weather Near You?

What's the weather like near you? Would you like to show everyone what's happening right now in your area? You can get weather news and forecasts and "weather stickers" to put on your own webpage or blog by going to Weather Underground and putting any city into the search engine. That city's weather along with a whole lot of other information and goodies will show up for you.

One of the features of this website that I enjoy are the photos taken by just regular people like you and me that show the scenery in their area. There's also advice from people about travelling to different cities so if your family is planning a vacation, this would be a good website for your Mom and Dad to check out.

This website could be a great resource for school reports and homework.

Anyway, here are a few weather stickers from around the country and the world that show what's happening right now:

Jigsaw Puzzles Online

I have a collection of many, many online jigsaw puzzles with great pictures that you'll love to put together. I'll show just some of them right now but check back with this blog because I'll always be adding something new!

The really fun thing about these puzzles is that even if I start out a puzzle as "very simple" or "difficult" or anything inbetween, YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE THAT. When the puzzle pops up, on the left side are choices that let you change the number of puzzle pieces and even the shapes of the pieces. Maybe I liked to make a jigsaw out of bird shapes but you want tetris shapes. You can do that. Below, you will see thumbnail images of puzzles with a text link beside them.

Online Coloring

Do you like to color? I do! I have a great collection of links to coloring pages, both online (color and paint now) and printables (print out a picture to color later). I organized my links that way plus I added the category for adults. Adults, like me, like to have fun, too! Plus, the adult category not only contains links to coloring that are just for fun but also links to coloring that might be useful to teachers and parents.

PLEASE NOTE: The color and paint now "online" pages usually use a JAVA applet or Shockwave or Flash and your computer needs to have those things to see those coloring pages.

Also, the printables that you download and print are sometimes in a .pdf file and your computer needs to have Adobe Acrobat Reader (usually) to see and use those pages.

SAFETY WARNING FOR KIDS: Always ask your parents if it is a good idea to download anything to your computer even if you find the link to do it on a nice friendly blog page like this one.

If you cannot see the drop-down menus below, you can CLICK HERE to view them in a pop-up window.
