Rural Diaries – country life, the countryside and rural issues

Posted by Sally on August 15th, 2010 in Country Living, Pets

Do you know we have a website for country kids?

A friend said that her sons were looking for a grown-up type of site for kids but all they could find were either pre-school age or sites about celebrities/fashion, or that concentrated one one subject.

So we made a website for country loving kids!

You don’t need to live in the country or live on a farm to join CKO. Whether you love your pet rabbit or just like playing in the park in your city, is for any kids who don’t spend their lives on their playstation or shopping for latest fashions.

Country Kids Online is free to join and caters for 8-14 year olds who like animals and the countryside.

We’ve been mega careful about safety and all of the website moderates having professional experience working with children or are themselves parents.

Because of the safety issue the home page of the website looks a bit boring but once you register you will find hidden inside CKO there are lots of things for children to do. A couple of the games could be classed as slightly babyish but they’re there at my insistence – I just love playing them!

You can find us at www.countrykidsonline.co.uk – We really want to get the website going, it’s a bit boring chatting to yourselves, so please unearth any unsuspecting kids in that age group and point them in our direction.

If you’ve got a country type blog please can you give the website a quick mention, as I say it’s free for kids to join so we’re getting it going on a shoestring – your support will really be welcome.
