Tiny Planets

Tiny Planets is an educational website designed for children ages 4-12.  Isabel has spent the past few weeks reviewing this for the Homeschool Crew.  

Once your child has chosen a cadet name (from  computer generated options) they can go to Tiny Planets home, which is the central location to get to all of the Tiny Planets' regions.


  • My Tiny Planets - Here the kids can create their own planet, choosing it's atmosphere, surface and terrain.  They can also grow plants in their biodome.  You can also play mini-games, recycle, collect rainwater and help keep other planets clean. 
  •  Tiny Planets Labs -This sub site is where kids can go to test out future games for Tiny Planets.
  • Tiny Planets Books - This is a collection of story adventures of Tiny Planet's Characters Bing and Bob.  It would be a fun place to read to little ones or let beginning readers go through themselves.
  • Tiny Planets Fun - This region is packed with educational games and puzzles.
  • Tiny Planets Learning - Here you will find lesson plans to help little ones learn their letters and numbers. 
  • Tiny Planets Blog - Here are updates to the Tiny Planets' sites plus great articles for parents and cadets alike.

 This is a free website, but some of the games, books and activities require keys, although not a lot of them.  Keys can be purchased for $1.95 for 10 keys.

Isabel enjoyed this, but said she would recommend it more for children a little bit younger than her (11 years). 




 *Disclaimer* I received this free of charge from the vendor in exchange for my review.

  1. Thank you Isabelle & Mom for taking the time to review the site. Please let Isabelle know that her opinion counts -- we've lowered the age range of the site to preschoolers - 8 years old, just like she suggested.

    Never doubt the power of the written word!

    :-)
