Visit a website, such as Angelfire, Tripod, Expage, or Geocities that will allow you to sign up for a free web hosting account. When signing up for the service you will be able to create a unique username, password, and sub-domain name for your kids web page.
Make the sub-domain name relevant to the information that is on the page if you want to get good search engine rankings. For example, www.website.com/annascoloringpage or www.website.com/joshsarcadegames.
