One way to make sure your kids surf the net safely-is by the valueable information contained in the FTC (The Federal Trade Commission) launched site called You Are Here. The site offers guidelines for kids on how to surf safely.

There are several sections on the site-each covering different aspects to help kids become more aware of possible online threats from identity theft to cyber bullying. Parents and teachers can also download the easy to read manual from the webpage.

Monster high Dolls are the latest toy trend from Mattel the makers of Barbie. The new monster High dolls are supposed to be the kids of famous monsters in pop culture. Monster High resembles 90210 on Halloween night. Characters depict typical teenage high school persona from football jock to mean girls.

Mattel is politically correct too with Monster High dolls representative of different population demographics. These monster kids are supposed to be fifteen day old to 1,599 years old olds in high school so parents do expect content aimed teenagers on the Monster High Dolls website. For younger kids there is a range of plush Monster High Dolls suitable for kids six years and older.

Monster high has both boys and girls but rather ghouls and monsters. The first release of Monster High dolls has four ghouls and two monster Dolls.The lead characters of Monster High include.

Draculaura — is the hippie daughter of Count Dracula; he must not be too thrilled about her being a vegetarian. According to her online bio Draculura is 1,599 years old. so I guess she must be the oldest ghoul in high school. Dracualara has pale skin with iconic Dracula teeth. Draculara loves drama.

Frankie Stein — daughter of one the classic monsters of our time, Frankestntein and his bride. Franki is portrayed as the new kid on the block and her bio says that she is just 15days old, perhaps in monster years this is equivalent to 15 years.

Lagoona Blue — the daughter of the Sea Monster (though her appearance is more akin to Gill-man from the 1954 movie Creature from the Black Lagoon). She has long, blond hair and light blue skin. She also has several fins, webbed hands and gills behind her ears. She speaks with an Australian accent. She is depicted as a jock and is the captain of Monster High's swim team.

Ghoulia Yelps is a zombie portrayed as the shy bookworm of Monster High, but she is the smartest of them all.

Cleo de Nile is a 5,842-year-old Egyptian princess and the child of an Egyptian Mummy .Cleo is teh Monster High Diva-She has olive skin wrapped with stray mummy bandages and frequently wears Ancient Egyptian jewellery. Cleo is the mean girl of Monster High. She is also in a relationship with Deuce Gorgon.
Monster High Boys.

Deuce Gorgon — is a son of Medusa and considered the handsome Greek God of Monster High. Deuce comes with shades to protect his gaze from turning to stone.

Holt Hyde —Possible the son of Jekyll or Hyde. There is mention of a Jason Jekyll too - but he is not the alter ego of Hyde Holt . Holt is friends with Deuce Gorgon.

Top 5 iCarly backpacks and Bags for School

2010-08-07T01:42:00.000-07:00

Thermos Dual Compartment iCarly Lunch Kit

iCarly Backpacks come in a variety of styles, sizes and colors to suite kids of all ages. But hen choosing backpacks for school its impost to take into account the comfort factor too not just the kid’s favorite TV star or cartoon character.

Firstly it is important that the bag has padded straps, this can prevent bruising if the bag gets too heavy. It is also useful to have side compartment to separate pens and ink from the books this can be handy in preventing accidents like spilled soda or pen leaks form damaging kid’s books.
Price is also an important factor so below is my list of the top five iCarly Backpacks based on their price and the comfort level. No doubt all of these icarly bags will be a hit with fans of the show because of their aesthetic appeal having popular characters Carly, Freddie and Sam n the front panel of the backpacks.

iCarly LOL Full-Sized Backpack
This is my personal favourite. It’s a funky design but also generous in size and comes with a reasonable price tag too measuring 18 x 13 inches. This iCarly backpack comes with padded straps and has side mesh compartments for water or soda bottles. These take care of my two biggest concerns.

Carly Double Sided Messenger School Bag – Black
The messenger bag is a great alterative to the backpack. This is especially popular with teenage girls because of its handbag like appearance.
This iCarly Messenger bag features a front zippered pocket for pens and a larger compartment for books.
The bag is made from polyester so it can be cleaned easily.

New iCarly Backpack & Personalized Study Kit
* This bag is similar to the iCarly LOL Full-Sized Backpack but includes added bonus of stationary including a memo pad, 1 sharpener, 1 eraser, 1 pencil.

How To Wash Pillow Pets
To wash pillow pets simply wash on low cycle in the machine. But do take a few precautions first.
Place your Pillow Pet inside a white pillow case or net laundry bag; tie securely so that it stays in the bag. This will prevent the fur on your pillow pets from getting fluffy.
Select a cold water cycle to avoid shrinking your pillow pets and most important do not put pillow pets in the dryer this will shrink them. They should be air dried place them on a flat surface rather than hang them. Avoid direct sunlight as this could affect the color of your toy.

What Makes Zhu Zhu Pets So Special?

Real hamsters may be cheaper but unlike real pet hamsters the mechanical Zhu Zhu Pets

with artificial intelligence can be operated by the kids to perform certain actions thereby making them more entertaining and interactive and best of all they are pet hamsters without the mess. Zhu Zhu Pets are the world’s first innovative, realistic, interactive, plush, and artificially intelligent hamsters that talk and move around in their own play sets.Their artificial intelligence even allows Zhu Zhu Pets to knowwhat room of their hamster habitat they are in.The Zhu ZHu Pets have a code reader which enables them to detect which part of

their Zhu Zhu Pets Funhouse they are in so they react accordingly. Do note that as a result of this sensitive code reader you should encourage the kids to care for the Zhu Zhu Pets as if they were realespecially if you are trying to teach the kids responsibility of caring for a real pet. Try to avoid using the Zhu Zhu Pet son hard surface as this could damage the sensor.They work best in their Zhu Zhu Pets Fun House. They even make toilet-flushing or teethbrushing sounds when they enter the bathroom and sleeping noises and alarmclock

sounds when they go into their bedroom.It’s simply adorable watching them!

Since August 2009- there have been several additions to the zhu zhu pets house.This includes a zhu zhu pets disco room, Zhu zhu pets pool hose addon and even a zhu zhu pets cinema not to mention Zhu zhu pet Elevator.

Why I Love the Zhu Zhu Pets?

One of my biggest concerns giving pets as a gift to children is wondering how they will

handle the responsibility of cleaning and feeding the pet and explaining what happened to the pet if the pet dies. The reason I love the Zhu Zhu Pets is because they are a great way to get your kids accustomed to caring for a pet and the Zhu Zhu Pets is that they are good clean fun.When the Zhu Zhu Pets run out of

energy you simply recharge the batteries and they are good to go bringing endless joy to your kids. You don't have the smell or the mess of a real hamster to contend with and your kids wont have to endure any heartache of losing their beloved pet hamster.

Who Will Love The Zhu Zhu Pets?

Zhu Zhu Pets are guaranteed to be adored by the whole family but I imagine that they will go down well with the younger kids much more than they will with 8year olds. The little guys and girls will be thrilled by the interactive capability of the Zhu Zhu Pets.The soft plush texture makes them safe and clean for the little ones and you don't have to worry about them biting the toy.Zhu Zhu Pets will serve as constant low-maintenance companion for kids desiring a pet of their very own. This toy is set to be a big hit this Christmas ,toy critics are already wondering if the Zhu Zhu Pets will become the next Cabbage Patch Kids.At this rate they could be flying of the shelves fast.Clean fun and the joy on your kids face will be priceless.

Special Feautures Of The Zhu Zhu Pets

Zhu Zhu Pets are Smart Hamsters that are smart motorized critters -programmed to play

in or out of their environments. Push a button on their back to activate the nurture or loving mode and hear them chatter while you pet them or love them Push another button to start the Explore Mode and that will let them scoot, scamper or bump and boogie across the floor Each Hamster has its own individual characteristics along with a variety of special expressions ZhuZhu Pets chatter and scatter like a real hamster only you don't have to feed or clean up after them.

How Do Zhu Zhu Pets Work?

Do keep in mind when you buy your Zhu Zhu pets, it's disadvantage like most battery operated toys, is that you are bound to encounter a few snags, as you will see in the video, the Zhu Zhu Pets do require interaction

from the kids in order to function at their optimum. Zhu Zhu pets do come with a guarantee so if

you do encounter any flaws you could easily get a refund or exchange the product. But lets look on the plus side.Unlike real hamster pets, the Zhu Zhu pets can entertain at the touch of a button. Zhu Zhu pets are built

in with two modes; The Loving Mode which allows kids to Pet them, love them,then hear

them squeak and chatter back. TheExplore Mode lets them scoot, scamper, bump &

boogie across the floor or through their Hamster Habitat.This is sure to get the kids

excited as the Zhu Zhu pets scamper around in their Zhu Zhu Accessories.

For example when you want to cuddle with or "reward" your hamster, pet it on the head

(right behind the ears) Your hamster will chirp and purr and coo contentedly. These little fur balls love it when you pet them... and they'll keep "talking" until they get bored and go to sleep.

To let your hamster know it's OK to run around and explore its environment, press it on its

back and watch them go! Zhu Zhu Pets Hamsters love to run around and explore. If you want

to calm them down, you can pat it on the head button to cuddle (and it will stop running) or

you can press it on its back and you will hear your Zhu Zhu Pet Hamster yawn and then go to sleep
