|  Karito Kids has created a website that not only allows kids to extend their play to the Internet but actually strengthens the concept of giving. Following the evolving play patterns that have arisen from the Internet, the online games and activities give children the ability to interact and communicate with peers’ worldwide, opening their eyes to new cultures and trends. For many parents the addition of an “interactive and social networking” element of playing on the Internet represents a departure from the traditional play that they knew as children.
When a child gets their first doll, book or accessory, they receive a special code and are invited to “activate” it on the Karito Kids website, www.karitokids.com. Next, the child can read about four charitable causes that KidsGive supports through Plan USA, a children’s focused charity that delivers an impressive 80% of all funds directly to programs. After learning what life is like for children in other parts of the world, they can choose the cause they want to support. KidsGive donates 3 percent of the retail price of all products to Plan USA.
In addition to the charitable activation, the fun, safe and child-friendly Karito Kids website has online games, downloadable coloring pages, customizable e-cards and more for everyone to enjoy. For instance, through the Culture Crossings™game, kids can learn about different cultures by taking colorful multiple-choice quizzes about the native countries of each Karito Kid. Each Karito Kids book also has its own game online that ties into things read within the story. And, with the Hidden Quest™ game, the players attempt to unscramble each of the characters’ environments while identifying traditional items within those countries and cultures.
Karito Kids does not require a purchase to play. However, each player who registers gets their own virtual passport to customize. This virtual passport allows them to keep track of the games they have played through colorful stamps signifying their completion and tallying their points toward World Change™ coins, which allow them to select a cause they care about: food, health, home or school and the coin is donated towards that cause. These virtual coins are converted into additional real world cash donations from KidsGive, the parent company of Karito Kids, to children’s charity Plan USA. |
