Hi John! I'm glad to see you again!.
Some marketing experts can say "kids don't buy, parents do it". I'm not agree. When I'm buying something to my childs, i prefer doing it into childs' "environment".
Your site it's OK (all), but I think a "naif" style just for childs can help.
And a little detail: the Hanna Barbera's pic looks perfect, but the Warners Bros. don't. Try to improve, those are my favourites!!

Have a nice day!

The home page is looking good, by which I mean "functional", which is most important IMO :-).

The copyright notices on the top two jpegs are misaligned (1600x1200 screen, W2K, large fonts, IE 6). Displaying the current date at the top of a page is programmer frippery, of little use to the user (and confusingly placed as though it is a high priority item).

Research shows visitors strongly expect there to be a link to the home page in the upper left corner (not where you've currently put it).

Is checking for a secure shopping guarantee really the #2 priority of visitors coming to the site? That's what the size and placement seems to indicate. I would suppose that it belongs more out of the way on non-ordering pages, instead of pushing a good inch more of the crucial home page text further below the fold.

There's nothing more frustrating than written instructions (Navigate to the "Contact Us" page today!) to click on something without the appropriate clickable link anywhere in sight.

Looks like you may be using the same <title> tag throughout. Unless there really are only a couple of search terms you care about (doubtful), consider optimizing these to go after different search terms for different pages. For example, I would certainly want "Fundraising" to appear in the <title> element for fundraising.htm.

As always, learning to use mod_expires to tell client browsers it's safe to cache images for a reasonable amount of time would speed your site up a bit and reduce some web log clutter.

But, overall, looking pretty good. I should probably have saved my time for one of the many much more needy sites :-).

Default SITE REVIEW

Your site took over a minute to load on my 56k connection. Isn't the goal to be 10 seconds or less? After that it looks good.

fundraising.htm took 20 seconds to load.
Also , you might consider adding titles to your "href" tags to tell people the page will load in new window.

All in all your site is neat and enjoyable.

Pretty straight forward and to the point.

The drop shadow on the page description at the top is nice, really tells you what the site is about at first glance.
