This web site, managed by the folks at Rumpus Toys, is designed to increase awareness of the Rumpus line of toys. However, this site is not all about sales and e-commerce. Instead this site is filled with fun games, activities, movies and even some educational content. All of the Rumpus characters are represented and your child can choose to spend time with a product they already own or one that appeals to them. It is quite apparent that there has been a concerted effort to entertain and even inform children here. The animations are bold, bright and very eye-catching.

Finding information on the Internet is becoming more and more of a habit for both children and parents. Whether it's researching information for homework or a paper, or just finding new and cool stuff, the Internet is a big part of the lives of many families today. BrainPop.com is the kind of web site that parents have told us they long for. It is fun, insightful and full of great information. Children are met with bright colorful graphics and animated hosts, Tim and Moby, who make the learning experience fun. Kids can explore how digestion works, what makes a rainbow and so much more. There are pop quizzes to test your knowledge and points can be accumulated by navigating through the site. Kids can also leave questions that the animated hosts answered right away via e-mail. There is nothing but great fun here and our testers heartily suggest that you surf on over.
Recommended Ages: 7 and Up Suggested Retail Price: Free
