A web portal for all ages

KOCHI: The 4To40.com is a web site that helps not only children but also parents and teachers to assist them in imparting knowledge to the little ones. The website aims to imbibe moral values and lessons in children.
Parents, who are tired of repeating the same old bed-time stories, can also log on to access a better collection. Apart from ‘Red Riding Hood’ and ‘Cinderella’, this includes folk tales and other stories from the Ramayana and Mahabharata. Based on each child’s liking, there are different activities available on 4To40.com which they can access.
Poems for every occasion make children aware of its significance. Images of places of worship, food, personalities, sports, monuments and travel can also be accessed by children. On clicking ‘travel pictures’, the photo, along with a write-up, giving details about the place, where it is situated and the specialties of the place will be shown. This gives the children information about the place and factors relating to it. This is better than forcing them to memorise it within the four walls of a classroom.
Ongoing art and painting exhibitions, theatre and dance shows are also intimated to its users. To keep the children updated with the recent entries in the Guinness Book of World Records, it talks of the heaviest and the highest. Online games are also available. For those children who are learning music, painting and other creative arts, 4To40 offers a list of artists to whom queries can be sent. During the vacation, children who wish to go for a national or international tour with their families can check out the travel packages to plan their holidays. The web portal was named 4To40.com as those belonging to this age group have joined hands to make this concept a success.
