Giveaway #1: Jumpstart 3 Month Membership


In the past few months, my son has taken a greater interest in the computer. He sees me blogging quite often and I think he's curious as to what this world is all about. So when I was offered a temporary free membership to JumpStart.com, I thought it might be something fun for us to check out.

Jumpstart 3D Virtual World has different areas for each age level:
*StoryLand for 3-5 year olds.
*AdventureLand for kids in Kindergarten through 2nd grade.
*FutureLand for kids from 3rd to 5th grade.
*MarineLand which is an underwater adventure.

I didn't check out all the areas, just the StoryLand, since Nathan's almost 3. The first thing we did was create a character of his choice. He was able to dress him and pick all his own facial features, etc. We then moved inside the StoryLand. There were several different places that he could visit, each of them having their own different activity.

There were things such as paintbrush, watching movie/song clips, selecting tunes in a jukebox and designing a house by selecting various windows, doors, etc. But we spent most of our time in the Learning House playing various educational-type games.

I liked that this area only required the use of the mouse and not the keyboard, making it easier on him to play. At times, it stops and loads up the next screen, which made him a little antsy, but I liked that he was learning patience, too.

We spent a good hour playing and I had to spoil his fun by sending him off to bed, with promises that he could play more the next day.

There is a limited play area on Jumpstart.com that you can play for FREE. Otherwise, you do have to subscribe to a membership, which is $7.99 a month which gives you full access. If you subscribe for a year or lifetime, you get a discounted rate. You can view the FREE vs. Member differences and see the pricing HERE.

JumpStart was kind enough to offer me one 3-Month Membership to give away to one lucky reader. If you have a child that loves to play games or is starting to get interested in the computer, like mine is, this might be something that you'll want to try to win!
