Two major events this week:

• We have changed servers! Due to the larger number of people coming to the site, and restrictions with our previous hosting company, we have now moved to a new server. Hopefully everyone will see an improvement in download times.
• Update to ALL the wordsearch puzzles. I've moved wordsearches to use the new online game format at last. While I was updating them, I put in lots of new ones. There are too many to list here, so check out the categories under the Main Menu at the left hand side of the screen.

I've also added new websites to the kids search engine using the new Google customised search system.

Ho ho ho! Its nearly Christmas, so this week we've added some tricky wordsearch puzzles to keep you amused.

The Jumbo Christmas wordsearches can be found:

• For 5 to 7 years (hard) here
• For 8 to 10 years (very hard) here
• And for 10 years+ (hope you have a lot of time free...) here

As well as finding the words, you also have to find the hidden message made up from the remaining letters. Have fun!

This week I've added our first ever music game Pixie Piano to pre-school and 5 to 7 years

It teaches basic music skills and I've found that younger kids just enjoy playing on the piano! You can try it by following the link here...

I've also fixed the kids Sudoku game so that you can't overwrite the black numbers. It now gives a warning sound if you try to.

A new tree names wordsearch has been added to 5 to 7 years

A more difficult tree names wordsearch has been added to 8 to 10 years

Its code-breaking puzzles this week. There's now a secret code maker in Activities which allows you to create coded messages and pass them to your friends. It also gives some information on what codes are and how they work.

We've then added a beginners code-breaker puzzle to the 5 to 7 years section which can be found here. A much more difficult secret code-breaker puzzle has also been added to the 10+ years section here
