Homepage

Children as young as four know how to work the computer. It is amazing to see these children knowing their way around a certain website, without too much headache.

Tapping into this talent, why not help them to design a family website, where they can maintain, add to it, upload pictures, and share them with the rest of the family?

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Time
Patience
Computer
Internet
Photos

Step 1

Do some quick research to find sites that offer free web hosting, and to be on the safe side, finds sites that viewers have to be invited to access the web page.

These three sites below are my favorite:
www.familyplanit.com
www.comehome.net
www.myfamily.com

Check these websites out to see which one you like to start building your page.
Step 2

Now, have your youngster sits by your site, and follow the instruction to build your homepage.

Your child will have so much fun picking out the color for background, adding songs, glittery fonts, and checking out for messages.
Step 3

Have your child upload family pictures, write captions, add a calendar, add birthdays, vacations, or sport events.

You can encourage your child to write a monthly newsletter to share with the family.
Step 4

Then have your child email friends and relatives to invite them to visit your site.

Have them sign the guest book, or leave a comment.
