Bayard Kids: new online edutational destination in French for kids 3-12
Bayard Jeunesse, the leading French publisher of fun yet educational magazines, books, and CD Roms for children 2 to 20 has come out with its own online destination for kids: BayardKids.
With two diferent offers by age group ( 2-6 and 7-12), the BayardKids sites offer online educational games and content, advertising free and with a strong attention to quality. The sites are a real parent’s friend. No need to tell the children time’s up on the computer, the sites automatically log the child off after a predetermined time- 20 minutes I believe.
Isn’t that great? No more fighting with children to free them from the lure of the screen, the show stops all on its own!
This being a beta version, BayardKids is initially offered free of charge as a complement to its magazine subscriptions to children’s magazines like Pomme d’Api, j’Aime Lire and Astrapi.
The 2-6 year old site is due to be open by subscription to non magazine subscribers in early 2009. Prices announced are 5 euros a monthor 60 euros a year.
Bayard group is quite discreet about its initiative. There is no information about it on its main site, whether in French or in English.
