Zoodles Premium Membership Giveaway - 3 Winners!
Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 7:00PM 
Zoodles.com is a website that allows you to download a kid friendly, parent controlled web browser. You choose the content that your kids focus on from math, to phonics, to games, and they get to play on the computer on their own. You download the software, and while your child is using it, the rest of the computer is locked out. The only way to exit the program is to type "Quit" in the area designated, which proves a very effective way of keeping your child where they're supposed to be!
The parental controls are extensive. You can choose which websites they do or don't visit, which characters they are or are not allowed to see, and which subjects you'd like your child to focus on. You are also sent an email detailing your child's activities while they use Zoodles, so you can monitor their progress.
This site breaks down activities according to age, and goes up to at least age 8. It also blocks ads, so you don't have to worry about your kids seeing something you'd rather them not. There are timers to limit play time, a Parent Play Along Mode, and tons of other features to take advantage of!
We were given a premium membership to try out so I could review it for my readers, and I am very impressed. My 4 year old has not spent much time on the computer (because I'm on it!), and she's able to use it without any help from me. I've watched several of the games and videos and feel like it's a great teaching tool. We've been trying to do some homeschooling (as much as one can do with a 4 year old), and this has been a great tool to utilize. She regularly asks to play on zoodles, and I'm thrilled to let her.
