It’s summer and your kids’ favorite phrase is, “Mom, I’m bored!” They want to spend some time on the computer, especially on Internet sites but, you worry about safety and about education and honestly, you don’t have time to endlessly search for appropriate sites to keep them entertained. The people at Zoodles, they get that.

While parents universally believed that the computer could help their kids learn, they just didn’t have the time or resources to scour the web and find any of this fun, educational content themselves.

What’s a concerned parent to do?

Get Zoodles! Zoodles is a unique kid browser where all content has been pre-screened and is designed to fit your child’s age and abilities. Zoodles was created by a concerned father who wanted an internet experience that was tailored for his child.

The idea for Zoodles was born while Mark watched his 4-year-old daughter, Abbie, struggle while using the computer. He wondered why kids were constantly trying to adapt to computers rather than having the computers adapt to them.

Sound familiar? Zoodles creates a virtual playground for your child that allows them access to fun, educational content in line with their age level but prevents them from “accidentally” stumbling into inappropriate content.

Zoodles offers a free browsing experience for your child.

The Zoodles browser can:

• Help them find Free, Fun, Educational content online
• Filter content to include games appropriate to their age
• Update with new games as they get older
• Keep them safe while playing games online
• Keep your computer safe while they play games

Additionally, Zoodles offers premium memberships that allow parents to:

• Set time limits for online play
• Block content
• Block sites
• See progress reports
• Promote subjects

I particularly like the time limit and the block site features. Even though all the sites on Zoodles are pre-screened and appropriate for children, you and I both know that there are still sites and shows that we’d rather our children not watch, even if it’s just because we find them to be annoying! It was for that reason alone that I blocked a certain show from son’s account!

Who can benefit from Zoodles?

Zoodles is designed for children ages 2-8, offers content in all subjects found in school (from reading to science to life skills) and once downloaded, is ready for your child to use simply by clicking on the desktop icon. The Zoodles browser is always free and when you sign-up, you get a free, 14-day trial, premium membership so you can experience all the additional benefits that Zoodles offers.

Best of all? It gives you one more item in your summertime, “Mom, I’m bored!” arsenal of activities!
