Other interesting sites

Thanks to Flippy for compiling this list! - Jane
The Shrine to Music Museum
The Shrine to Music Museum, in South Dakota, "has a collection of more than 6000 American, European, and ethnographic instrument from virtually all cultures and historic periods". The Web site has a Virtual Gallery tour, and different collections of instruments. They have begun work on their on-line harp collection. Check out the Burmese Arched Harp in The Beade Gallery!

New Moon
This site is for New Moon, The Magazine for Girls and Their Dreams, ages 8-15 or so. Flippy and Jane both subscribe to it. New Moon, which is edited by a team of girls, and which includes a number of articles and other submissions by girls, was and is the model and inspiration for Young Harpers Almanac!

Rainforest Action Network - Kids' Action
This is a page for environmentalists. It features a REALLY neat kid's page that includes an art gallery and more!

The Young Writer's Club
This is for The Young Writer's Club, (TYWC) that was started by a girl and her dad. It is a wonderful site, and safe for young kids, though it is mostly geared to ages 8 and up. You can get penpals, finish stories, contests, read a magazine, write! I (Flippy) really love this place! There are also young people's homepages, and stuff like that. Note: The site seems to be unavailable right now. Hopefully this situation is temporary!
