WebbliWorld
I was passed on the details of this fascinating new site for children. It looks delicious and is described as:
WebbliWorld is an exciting, stimulating, virtual world that kids can explore, inhabit, belong to and share. It is a world that promotes caring, responsible behaviour and gives kids the opportunity to voice their opinions on topics that matter.
You create a Webbli (avatar) and there are ways to earn Webbles, the going currency in WebbliWorld. Currently I have amassed a small fortune of 1000 Webbles from emailing the site details to some friends and rating other Webblis, what I will do with the stash I don’t quite know yet. Games and internet links are presented to you by 3 characters - Wanda, Wez and Wij.
It is early days for the site but with involvement from Aardman Animations it seems set to be very engaging for children, some of the little animated shorts are very cute. There is also a WebbliBlog tracking news and developments, may be worth an initial look and keeping tabs on in the future.
