Split Pin Ocean Animals: Mermaid, Turtle, Octopus, jellyfish and whale*

Sparklebox is a website that contains hundreds of resources for primary school use and us one of the most popular in the UK for free resources.
It is also the one man band of a man who has been convicted of being a paedophile more than once and actually changed his name by deed poll to avoid detection.  Sparklebox also allows a level of social media interaction with children.  Whilst there is no evidence that the site itself is being used to distribute indecent images I am uncomfortable with supporting a site which will give a financial benefit from my activities.  I have decided that it is better to cast my net wider in the pursuit of free resources rather than benefit such a man.
