I thought this would be a great site to introduce your kids to before visiting the Museum of London. If they know a little already then they will be more interested in learning more cool facts I thought…how naive.
The ‘Create a Costume’ game is aimed at 3 to 5 year olds. Really straightforward to use but the woman announcing what does what can get very annoying. There are actually some Adult’s guidelines to help you make the most out of the game with your child. The costumes you create are actually based on real ones which are to be displayed in the Museum in 2010. That could have been a nice touch but 2010? My kids won’t remember this game by next year and neither will I!
The ‘Move and Make’ game is based on the same principle as the latter. But honestly having road tested both of these I was seriously getting annoyed with that voice over. I recommend switching it off. Maybe even leaving the website altogether. I couldn’t take it anymore.
I still haven’t been to the museum of London, put off by these stupid games. Maybe the Museum will be better though. If anyone has been let me know what you thought, and what is actually worth a look? Is it really a good idea to take a 5 year old there?
