If you want a true whitelist:
* Disable DNS.
* Put all IPs you want inside the /etc/hosts.

That isn't very practical.

Perhaps something like OpenDNS in Parent-mode with a Dans Guardian Proxy
on the laptop?

Depending on the age of the kids - you can be bonehead or smart.
I have many other ideas - hit me up off-list.
