Hey All!
Have you heard of Fooz Kids? It’s an amazing program I was lucky to find out about while at BlogHer’11 this year. It came at the perfect time since my 2 year old nephew who has been living with us is already learning how to use a computer! God time is flying! He couldn’t even walk the other day and now he’s clicking away at a computer. I don’t really mind that the kids in my home learn how to use the computer at a young age because I know it’s a great resource for them to learn with.
While the kids learn to use the computer more and more, I do want to have a way to keep them safe from the bad things they may see or find on the web. I also want to keep my computer safe from the kids if you know what I mean. This is what Fooz Kids does! Fooz is a web portal for your children to visit the sites you want them to visit. Setting up Fooz Kids on your computer is super easy.
That’s all you have to do. Once you have Fooz set up it lets your child play games on the web, watch videos, browse crafts with a wide variety of characters ranging from Disney animated films to Dinosaur Train!
You know they love Disney and Dinosaur Train in my house. And each craft is designated by gender and age. As a parent you are able to customize the content your child is able to access as well as set up their channels by searching for specific videos, games, etc.
Fooz also has a built-in Fooz Kids University that has over 20,000 practical skills align with school curriculum and is broken down by grade levels starting with Pre-K! As your child completes the assignments you can keep track of how well they are doing! If you find your child isn’t doing so well in a particular area, you can address that specific skill and work on them with Fooz! An incentive that will keep your child interested in doing assignments is that they earn points for each assignment that can be redeemed for treasures such as gift certificates, video games, and more!
Fooz Kids truly does allow you to control the content that reaches your kids on the internet. Once you set your child up in Fooz Kids your kids can only go where you told Fooz they can go. Fooz is like your body guard for your children.
Even if your child is older, you can still use Fooz! With Fooz you can even keep an eye on your childs emails. You can truly have peace of mind knowing Fooz is helping you keep your child safe. I love Fooz Kids and I highly recommend it. In this technology driven time every parent should have it.
Fooz Kids is available as a download for both Windows and Mac OS X operating systems and is also compatible with Android tablets. You can Try Fooz Kids for free and then Fooz Kids is also available for purchase of $11.99 with package subscriptions and additional features available for either a monthly or yearly commitment.
