We have tried using Kiddle for the first time with our 5-year old when we searched for moons and the planet Jupiter. We look for pictures and watched videos.
The internet is a great educational and recreational tool that can help children learn about many things. In using Kiddle, though it is a safer way to browse contents in the internet, we should make sure we sit, stay involved and monitor what sites our children visit. As a rule, our son will be allowed to search for things he want to learn, even with Kiddle, when mom and dad is doing it with him.
