Clubpenguin.com is a social network site and virtual world for kids. Your child can create a penguin of any color for free and let it waddle around in the snowy penguin world, making new friends.

A basic membership is free, but you can upgrade to a paid account for $5.95 per month, giving you access to more exclusive items, games and events.

Each player has an igloo to live in, and can purchase a larger igloo using virtual coins. Penguins can also adopt a number of pets, also called puffles. There are eight different breeds of puffles with distinct personalities.  Members can also play mini games to earn money, or act out plays.
