fun e-cards for kids

Know a good kids' e-card site where I can find a cute animated get-well soon card?
My 5 y/o nephew broke his arm this week at school and having just learned how to check his email I wanted to send him an animated e-card. But sorting the sites that come up with a typical google search overwhelms me a bit and I was wondering if anyone here already knew of some of the good ones. Thanks in advance for your help!

Best answer: Can I also suggest that instead of the ecard being sent direct to your nephew, you address it to one of your own throwaway webmail addresses (the ones you use for shopping, online newspaper registration, etc.) and from there cut and paste the URL for the card and send that to your nephew. That way you avoid his address being used for marketing/spam (I don't think Care2 do use addresses for marketing, but my rule of thumb with any ecard site is to have the card sent to me to avoid this).

Best answer: I love getting and sending ecards. Have had no problem with being spammed after using the following sites. It's hard to find nice sites.
Some likable Get Well Soon ecards at Regards.com
Postcard FM, make your own. Download an image and mp3 and send it as an ecard. Like this image of an animated choo choo train and Walking on Sunshine with a message like You are going places! Going to get better soon!
You could send him a link to the singing horses. They seem like 5 year old fun.
The Jacquie Lawson site with 114 flash ecards requires a $10 subscription/year.
At this site any illustration can become an ecard.
