Thank you to Fooz Kids for providing me with an All-In-One pack to review. The opinions I’ve expressed here are solely my own and represent my honest viewpoint.
As parents we are always striving to protect our children from the outside world. We want to keep them safe by knowing who their friends are, where they are and what they are doing at all times. The Internet is a valuable tool but it also creates a hole in our safely net. Children are vulnerable online. It let’s the outside world into our homes.
Aside from the stress of not knowing who your children are chatting with; there are advertisements, games or videos that are inappropriate for children. It’s so easy for a child to type in a web address and play a violent or inappropriate game or watch a video geared towards 10 years old children, when your child is only 5. That is why I jumped at the chance to review Fooz Kids.
Fooz Kids allows parents to choose which games and content is acceptable for their child to play while also providing mom or dad a way monitor their activity. After setting up my children from the Parental Dashboard, I choose which websites they are allowed to visit. I then moved on to games and videos that I deemed appropriate. Let me tell you, there are a lot more websites and games than I was aware of!
In addition to the game and website access, my kids loved creating and changing their own avatar. Fooz Kids allows for a lot of customization for your child to great a little “mini me” or their idea character. Creating their own room was also a blast for the kids. It reminded Monkey of Webkinz which was a huge plus for him. LuLu was impressed with the selection of crafts available for her favorite TV characters since she is my little artist.
As a mom, I loved the security Fooz Kids provides. I am in complete control over what my children can access on the Internet and I can change it at any time. It was also important for me to be able to add a few of their favorite website’s, so they can easily access sites that I had preappoved.
The University is another nice feature on Fooz Kids. Kids can learn skills geared from Pre-K to 5th grade while parents are able to track their progress after they have completed a task. It also provides parents with a report on trouble spots to help you learn academics that your child needs to improve upon.
If you would like to check out Fooz Kids for yourself, try it FREE ($11.99 value) with my unique referral link.. While this is the first parental control site I have tried with my children (other than standard web content blocking), I believe Fooz Kids to be a great way to allow children to explore the Internet and give parents control and peace of mind.
If you have tried Fooz Kids, I would love to learn your thoughts.

This looks really cute! Kids wouldn’t even know you are protecting them!
This looks very interesting! My kids are quite old enough to be on the computer yet, but this is something that really concerns me. I’m always worried about my kids safety while on the internet and this seems like a great way to do it!
This program sounds awesome!
Dana- this is an excellent way to allow your children the freedom of playing online without the risk.
