I am so impressed with this kids' online browser that I must share! KidZui was developed by Scholastic and KidZui - they came up with this ingenious idea for a web browser. Once you sign your child up - you can have them help you make a Zui - an online character just for them. Then, once the parent approves the account - the searching begins. I love it because they tailor it to your child's age - so my 4 year old daughter has pictures that pop up like "Hello Kitty", "Carebears", etc. She can then click on those links and it will take you to that website. The kids earn more points by exploring - I think this will be a hit with my daughter! I am very impressed so far - it is a great way for kids to search AND parents to know where they are searching. The parent's page is wonderful! 
You can track where they have been, who their friends are, etc. I highly encourage you to check it out. You can download the free browser here:

Becky, this is really cool. I played around on it to see if it's really as "safe" as it seems and so far see no red flags! I'll let you know my kids' opinions when they get home from school, but I have a feeling they're going to love it! Hey, do you know how to add a site to the "favorites" page on KidZui?
Cool!! I'm off to check it out!!
