I love these. I posted the FBI's kids site a while back: FBI Kids thread.

And don't forget the Treasury Department!

And the Social Security Administration. Gotta teach the kids early on about the "value" of big government.

Interestingly, tax.gov/kids - the IRS kids site - no longer exists.

Sadly, the Trilateral Commission does not have a kid's page, thus spoiling our prepubescent government indoctrination streak.

FirstGov for kids has it all.

I can't find it, but somewhere here someone who worked on something like the USDA website pointed out here that, by law, all federal government websites must have an educational section for kids. That includes the FBI, the Patent and Trademark office, and, of course, the US federal government as a whole
personally, I like the us government printing office's site better than that tacky wannabe dotcom kids.gov site... posers.

Well, dchase, I just went to the DEA's site and there's no kid's page of any kind. There is however, mention on the front page of something called the "Methamphetamine Tour." I, for one, am stoked. Will Motorhead be headlining?
