    Hey, I like it. Great idea to print out the colouring photos! You could even go with a brighter background as its a kids site.
    Nice games too :)

    Looks decent overall. I suggest you add a small space between the images and text of the main content of the site.

    Nice design, why not have the pictures clickable also? That is the first place i tried to click on when looking at the other pages.

    I agree.

    As for the colours, very nice and pleasant. Love the way the images are rendered.

    it looks great but I've spotted a problem: some of the pictures aren't really representative for what the link is for. I mean for example for the "kids first shirt shop" you have a picture of some paint recipients which can be quite misleading. The same goes for most of the other pictures. The only one that fits is the "first kids game room"

    my first thoughts were the colors are great... especially for a kids site...

    I would make the navigation menu text links using CSS. it can look pretty much the same...

    Widen the site to be viewed at 1024... or atleast go a full 800px

    A bit more padding on the left in the body...

    Have the articles in the same header/footer as the rest of site...

    These are just sugggestions, looks fine as is...

    Good luck

    great looking site...I also think you need to seperate the pics and the text a little, maybe a bar or something in between them to make it a little easier to look at.

    I love the icons you've used on the site! The only think I'd change to the layout is the font used on the header.

    It's a little too bunched up in the middle for more .. but other than that .. it looks great!

    I would expand the table to maybe 800 wide so that you can fit more content without the user having to scroll down so much.

    Wondering why you used flash for the menu rollovers on the left - you could have made them full text links with the rollover function to call a different font color. Could possibly help with search engine optimization.

    Also, I would try to improve the header graphic so that it looks a bit more professional and sophisticated. The header graphic seems to stop short of the full width of the table - I would make it so that it clearly runs all the way across.

    Lastly, I would increase the spacing between those item graphics and the product text by atleast 4 or 5 pixels.

    Good Luck!

    Overall good design and content. Heh, the only thing is that perhaps that super fighter game may be a little too much for the kids (unless you are aiming for a 10+ audience).

    The purple is not the very kid-friendly color. Add something warm like yellow, red, combining with green, orange and contrasting bright (but cold) blue or purple. You already have the color schemes idea in the icon added to the text.

    I agree with the color. You can always combine bright colors so it would appeal more to the kids. Good luck! :)
