What in the World is a Kiddle?

Imagine you want to find out about dinosaurs or how to bake cookies. A Kiddle is like a special helper for kids to find information online! It's a search engine, which means it helps you look for things on the internet.

Kiddles from Long Ago

Did you know 'Kiddle' can also be a last name, like your family name? It's an old name from England! And guess what?

So, a 'kiddle' has been many things over time, from a way to get food to a name for people.

Why Kiddles are Super Cool!
