Popular Aussie preschool group The Wiggles will be making a new home online, as www.WiggleTime.com gets set for an April 24 launch date.

The new virtual world will give preschoolers a safe online hub in which to learn and play. It’s also aiming to provide educational resources to help parents keep an eye on their kids’ online activities, as well as stay informed with parenting news.

With the familiar Wiggle themes in the ad-free children’s section, young surfers can partake in games and activities with cognitive, physical and social elements, playing in stages that get more and more challenging, and are then rewarded with virtual toys.

WiggleTime.com will also offer video clips on a monthly basis, and parents will receive monthly progress reports, message board access for chatting with other parents and premium promo offers, competitions, merch discounts and presale Wiggles tickets.

WiggleTime.com has both free and subscription-based options, with premium registration unlocking the site’s full potential at US$5.70 per month and up to four children can be registered on one account.
