Adults on the run can pre-record bedtime stories for kids, reading a classic storybook in a video recording that the child can view with the tablet. Pre-approved adults such as grandparents can send video messages to children using a webcam and children can respond with the front-facing camera on the tablet.

Zoodles says the Android version is the most feature-rich to date. Parents can also set additional controls and monitor progress in apps, filtering content based on age, interests and educational topics. Parents can lock the Home button while a child plays so the kid can’t accidentally delete emails, move calendar appointments, and uninstall apps as they can on unguarded tablets. With Flash-enabled apps and a front-facing camera, the Xoom will be able to run Kid Mode in a way that is much more compelling for children on a big screen. The new Kid Mode app will support all Android tablets, including the Motorola Xoom pictured at top. In Kid Mode, for instance, a child can’t accidentally make a phone call to the adult’s boss. Using Kid Mode, they can let their kids play with adult toys such as smartphones or tablets without needing to supervise them. Mark Williamson, chief executive of Zoodles, created Kid Mode as a tool for parents to keep their kids busy with entertainment and learning.

A child’s activity in Zoodles for Android will be reflected in the weekly progress report. For example, if a parent has blocked certain branded characters or promoted an educational subject like math or reading, those settings will follow the family’s mobile account. For those without Flash, Zoodles will offer fun, educational videos and other non-Flash content.įor families who have an existing Zoodles account, any Parent Dashboard (a premium service) settings will transfer automatically to the mobile browser upon the initial log in.

For example, Android users with Flash installed will have access to games built in Flash, plus videos and more. Zoodles automatically recognizes the Android device and presents the right content for that phone.

Once the app is launched, a child logs in by tapping their picture (no reading required), and selects from a scrolling menu of activities. No additional set-up is required on the parent’s part. Zoodles for Android allows users to create an account, or log in using an existing account. Because the latest Android phones run Flash – the leading format for the vast majority of kids games on the web – we’re able to pull hundreds of the best educational games into one free app.

“Kids have played more than one million hours on the computer with Zoodles, and we’re thrilled to extend that momentum to the mobile environment, where parents often need help most.

“With the massive adoption of Android smartphones, parents everywhere want to safely hand over their phones during those moments when a child needs to be entertained,” said Mark Williamson, CEO and co-founder of Zoodles. All games for each age – 1 to 8 – have been played start-to-finish and approved by Zoodles’ team of education experts. For example, if a child is not yet able to read, Zoodles will only present content where no reading is required. Like its award-winning computer app, Zoodles’ mobile app intelligently adapts content to each child based on age, skills, the device they are using, and custom parental controls so they can play without needing help from an adult.
