Almost half a year since the quarantine started and yet everyone is still highly encouraged to stay at home. Most of the people’s outdoor leisure activities are still either limited or prohibited. This is a big challenge, especially for kids, and some parents have turned to the internet for their educational and entertainment needs. With that said, now is the chance to explore the internet for child-friendly digital content platforms while they stay safe at home. Here are some websites that you and your kids can explore online.

NASA Science Space Place

If it’s a yes, then this website could really be noteworthy to explore. It features information, games, crafts, activities, and videos about the earth and space.
MARVEL HQ
You won’t need to go to an exhibit (for now) just to see your favorite characters. Shout out to all the fans of Marvel out there!
