I hear on the news this morning that 75% of the U.S. will be under storm watches today. If that weather drives you and your children indoors this might be the day you should check out BigUniverse.com. A great free enrichment activity you and your child could do together on this educational site is creating your own e-book.
Big Universe is a membership based site, encouraging reading, writing and creativity in children. Their memberships are for both families and professional educators and begin at $4.95 a month. However, they offer free sign up with a free 5 day trial membership. Part of that free trial gives your child an opportunity to create on-line his own e-book. Sounds to me like a great activity for a too warm or too rainy summer day.
This award winning site claims 1000 online books and almost 14,000 members. With the basic membership of $4.95 a month. Your child can read on-line free featured books each week, publish the e-books he creates to BigUniverse.com, read other members' books and more. A family membership of just $6.95 a month allows for ten individual accounts on BigUniverse. The site offers a very clear breakdown of its various membership options, including the free trial memberships at https://www.BigUniverse.com/account.
