I have previously recommended a few websites for teen and tween girls such as A Stroke of Pink and the many girl sites in the Teen.com Network. I now have a few more websites to recommend:


1. GirlMogul Magazine - Encouraging Self Esteem in Girls. "The GirlMogulMagazine blog is intended as a place for tween girls (ages 6-13) to read, enjoy and learn about all things girl power." There also is a GirlMogul Mom blog with parenting advice on raising tween girls.

2. Girl Ambition - a positive place for girls, ages 7-12, to play online while teaching them critical Web survival and social online networking skills. There are games, videos, arts & crafts and the ability to create customized avatars. There is also a website for parents that provides articles and videos about tween self-esteem, online safety and other topics relevant to tween girls.

3. All Girl Arcade - a fun social game website for tweens and younger teen girls. The girls play games, make friends, watch videos and can decorate their page with virtual goods that they buy with with virtual game winnings. (Warning: This website plays music when you open it, so you might want to turn off your volume before you check it out).

Not all websites are for all people. But if you or your daughters or other teen girls that you know find even one new website today that you enjoy, I'll be happy.

    As a mom of 2 grown daughters now, I think it's important that girls have healthy, creative online outlets, especially when recommended by parents.

    Thanks for the review. It's good to know that there are positive sites for young girls that are not strictly about fashion, dieting, and boys.

    I'm going to see if my niece knows about these.

    I was browsing the internet looking for information on what parents care about in a site for their teen/tween children and I came across this blog.

    Unfortunately, 2 of your links aren't working (Fortune Girls, Girl Ambition).

    I'd love if you'd review SmartGirl.org, which is the site I run. We're dedicated to girls aged 11-19 and provide a space for them to share their opinions, experiences, and creativity. Most of the content is submitted by girls, and all of it is anonymous and moderated.

    Megan, thanks for pointing out the bad links. I removed Fortune Girls because it looks like it no longer exists. For Girl Ambition, it looks like it might just be temporarily down, so I left it.

    Thanks for the information about SmartGirl. I will definitely give it a look.

    Hi Jennifer! My daughter and I are the owners of MyGurlStuff.com, the 757's Premier Website for Teen Girls. Our website has been existence since September 2005. We'd love it if you would stop by our website. It's still evolving and growing.

    We really enjoyed Megan's website, SmartGirl.org and All Girl Arcade. Thanks for the recommendations. We plan to add both to our Cool Links page plus we will be adding your blog spot.

    I'm glad I found your blog!
