The top 10 educational websites for kids updated for 2018. These are educational websites full of games, video, content and activities to keep your kids entertained while growing their minds.

We all know as parents it can be really hard to find a good balance between tech and ‘real life’. There are definitely some apps and websites out there pitched as ‘educational’ that are really just games.

Not only that, but some of these ‘educational’ games are highly addictive. With gamification, constant level ups, and light and sounds that seem like they come straight from a casino, kids keep coming back for more. It’s difficult to see how these games are developing our kids’ minds, aside from some limited problem solving and dexterity skills.

Then there are the dangers around using some of this technology. What with Facebook privacy issues, technology addiction, and some of the really creepy child grooming websites, it’s a real minefield out there!

But, if your kids are big into tech, and you’re trying to limit their screen time to just the educational stuff, then rest assured there are some great websites out there. These are sites developed by teachers and parenting experts, rather than engineers and marketers.

The difficult thing for parents, though, is sifting through the hundreds of lesser quality websites to find the nuggets. Have put together a ‘Top 10’ list of websites parents can encourage their kids to use while knowing they are safe.
