Question
I've a 8 year old girl who is very, well, girlie.  Not a tomboy at all.
And I'd like to knoe of any sites you would suggest.  She like
fairies and gentle things, always has. Violence stops her cold,
and competitive games have limited appeal.  

Thank you.

Answer
Hi, What a wonderful question!  Your daughter sounds amazing and a beautiful spirit.  I have a list of great kids games of all kinds that I am sending you.  The first are hand selected games that believe your daughter may like.  Hopefully, you will find some games that she'll love.

If the links are not clickable in your email program, copy and paste the entire link to your web browser address bar.  Make sure you copy the entire link.  If the link is broken by your email program copy each line individually into your address bar until you have the entire link copied! This will ensure the link will work properly.  

I am also apologize that I din't get back to you sooner.   It takes me awhile to do research between work, and kids.  I hope you understand!

Now on to all those wonderful links!  Enjoy!
