KidZui : Internet for Kids (and Those Young at Heart)

KidZui has decided that we adults have had enough fun and it’s time that kids have their own internet. The Internet for Kids (KidZui) is a new free browser or portal that offers 600,000 kid-friendly websites, videos, and pictures reviewed by trained parents and teachers. Also it is pronounced Kid-Zooey!

Instead of blocking the bad stuff from the adult internet, KidZui takes the opposite approach and just includes all of the positive, all of the awesome stuff that kids can and should enjoy.

You can visit http://www.kidzui.com/ to sign up today and get your kid (or you for that matter) started on a new journey to have more fun on the internet.

“With KidZui in our home, we look forward to our children exploring the Internet,” said Robyn Jackson, a San Diego resident and mother of three kids aged 2, 5 and 8. “KidZui is a great way to give my kids some freedom on the Web, without having to worry about what they might see. I have already been telling all my friends about it, and now that it’s free, I’m sure everyone will be signing up their kids.” [EarthTimes]
