As a computer teacher and a parent, I think the internet is a great place to explore and learn all kinds of fun things. But two out of three of my boys are pretty young, and I’m not ready to allow them to get online with a real web browser and end up who knows where looking at who knows what.
So I started doing some research on other options for younger kids and surfing the internet. That’s when I found Kidzui, a free web browser you can download onto your computer to let your younger kids surf the net just like big brother.
As you can tell from the screen shot, Kidzui is picture based, so you don’t have to read to find a game to play online. And like I said before, the sites are already screened for appropriateness. What I really like, is that I can have a separate account for each of my boys based on their current age. In other words, the games that show up for my 12 year old boy to play don’t show up for my 5 year old boy to play and sometimes even my 8 year old will not have access to the same games my 12 year old does.
My boys like the fact that you can edit your own “Zui” to look the way you want it to and you can edit the background by changing the color to your liking. It’s so simple, if you get lost, just hit the home button and you can start over. If you really like the game you are playing, you can add to a favorites section and the next time you want to play it, just press the star at the top of the screen to visit your favorite sites page (also in picture form).
Check it out yourself; I’m sure you’ll like it, too. Click on the link below and it will take you there. Enjoy!
