The History of Maps4Kids
Maps4Kids.com has been around since June of 2006 ! Many of the first children who used our website are now in their 20s and 30s. Imagine that !
My kids wanted a games site but I couldn't do that so I decided to use my coding skills and background as a Geographer to build Maps4Kids. Millions of visits later, we are still going strong.
