Do your kids dream of outer space, flying in a spaceship, building their own planet, and solving missions? Then you may want to try My Tiny Planets. My kids have been playing and they love it.
My Tiny Planets website describes itself as a new online community and virtual world based on science and space exploration that combines social elements and gaming to create an engaging space exploration experience.
On My Tiny Planets the cadets receive a space name, pick a spaceship and build their own planet while solving missions with Bing and Bong. While the cadets are playing games they earn stars which they can use to buy items for their ship and planet. The main game is free but you may also purchase keys to unlock more features for your spaceship & planet or to watch videos and read books. The Tiny Planets Fun, Books, TV, Learning, and Labs sections offer puzzles, coloring sheets, worksheets to print, read books, watch videos, and test the new games and let them know what you think.
My kids were excited to receive their cadet names: Loony Wanderer, Secret Kitten, and Steam Crush. Once they realized they could see and talk to each other they called and invited some of their friends to get online and play also. That way they could play together without being together. Loony Wanderer, age 9 and Secret Kitten, age 8 really liked playing the mini games and flying around looking for other cadets to invite to be their friends. Steam Crush, age 6, said her favorite part of My Tiny Planets are the videos.
First you set up a parent account where you can see all of your cadet accounts in one place. You may also purchase keys from here:
- 10 keys for $1.95
- 25 keys for $3.95
- 85 keys for $9.95
- 250 keys for $25.95
- 600 keys for $49.95
I feel this game is fun for everyone, but the topics of the worksheets, books and videos are very elementary in their content.
Several other TOS Crew members reviewed this game, you can hop over TOS Crew Blog and see what they thought about it.
As a member of the TOS Crew we were given our free accounts to My Tiny Planets along with access to all the paid items.

I just dropped by to thank you for reviewing our site. I hope the children are continuing to enjoy MTP. New games are under development, so stay tuned!
Hi. Just wanted to thank you again for reviewing the site. I wanted to let you know that on April 4th the new and improved site was launched. I'd love to hear any thoughts you might have, especially since some of the changes were made because of the Crew's suggestions. You can check us out at www.tinyplanets.com. You can reach me at cheryl@mytinyplanets.com.
Thanks!
