Check out this kid friendly search engine-All Safe Sites

 The following site looks like a great search engine for young kids:

 

AllSafeSites is a kid-friendly directory & search engine for fun, educational and most importantly, SAFE websites.

"Each site in our directory has been personally reviewed and recommended by an elementary school teacher.

First of all, we have no advertisements on our page.

Another differentiator is that AllSafeSites is designed with visual aids so that very small children, even those unable to read, can navigate the web site easily. Most other sites are primarily text-based, making them difficult for young children to use."
