JumpStart.com - A Virtual World Where Kids Explore, Learn & Play (Review & Giveaway)



A few weeks ago the Lil Divas and I were given the opportunity to explore a paid membership on JumpStart.com by the folks over at Knowledge Adventure. We had previously explored the free version online but the paid membership gave the entire family access to the Jumpstart World, so both Lil Divas were able to create and play along with their own avatars called Jumpeez, which they truly enjoyed.


What is Jumpstart.com & what does it have to offer?
JumpStart.com which launched in 2009, is a virtual world provided by Knowledge Adventure - the creators of many award-winning educational products.  JumpStart.com provides kids aged 3-10 years old (that's the target age group) the opportunity to review and master math and reading concepts by exploring magical worlds, discovering games, viewing videos and reading storybooks all aimed at helping them learn in a fun and interactive way.



Our experience with Jumpstart.com
The Lil divas have really enjoyed playing on JumpStart.com. The games all have different levels so we are able to adjust them to suit their needs which I really like. The more games they play, the more coins they earn. The coins can be used for fun things like adopting pets, purchasing clothing and accessories, etc... 


There is so much to do on JumpStart.com and they are always adding or updating new games and/or features that I am sure we have only touched the tip of the iceberg. Over the holidays there were fun Christmas related activities to enjoy like snowball fights, ice skating, building a snowman and turning into an elf. Now that Valentine's Day is on the horizon there are lots of hearts to be found and a giant chocolate candy box maze to wade through. These little changes offer fun new things to explore often.


The Lil Divas have great fun exploring everything the virtual world has to offer. One of their favorite things has been hatching and training their very own dragon in the Enchanted Sanctuary. The youngest Diva really enjoys MarineLand - an underwater world where she can complete fun missions that are well suited to her age. The Oldest Diva has lots of fun in AdventureLand where she underwent vigorous training to learn how to defeat the pesky Punky Punks!
