Resources for Kids.

I’ve been home with my kids a lot lately. We are not as busy as we were and there is a lot of time to fill. I thought I would post some of the stuff I’ve found to do with my kids that is very fun!

Audubon for Kids

This is an amazing website for learning all about birds. I think kids of any age with get something out of it. I have certainly learned a lot. Some activities are a little too advanced for my 3 & 6 year old, but the informational videos capture their attention. We have all have been practicing our bird drawings as well!

American Test Kitchen (Young Chef’s Club)

Great for finding recipes that the kids can actually help make! plus quizzes and videos.

Monterey Bay Aquarium

These are cute mini courses. There are videos at the aquarium, and also printable activities.

Purple Starfish

Learning Language – I’ve been trying to master Spanish for awhile now.

No ads! This has such a variety of learning activities. Lily is a bit hesitant to sit still and try reading, It’s amazing how quick she absorbs reading when it’s a game.

Sago Mini

Sago Mini has a variety of apps now (now with a Sago Mini School), but I also love that they has psychical toys and of the characters and they recently started a subscription based box. I’m definitely biased because my daughter loves these characters. They are a Canadian based company and my kids seems to always want to play something. So many of the apps are open ended and so cute.

Kiwi crate

I feel like there has already been a lot of press on this. They are well made and fun. Kiwico.com referral link

Favorite YouTube Channels:

Crafting fun. Lots of rainbows. Lily gets very inspired to craft or draw after we watch.

These are adorable videos about very complex ideas. Some may be a little advanced for little ones but check them out.

Disney’s done some really cute story-time videos. It is also really fun to see some of their favorite character read them a story.

I would also suggest checking out your local library online. etc.

This is a relaxing cooking video Joshua loves. A little ASMR for when he & me need a little chill time.

Okay, that’s all I’ve got right now. I might post some other stuff we’ve been up to! Let me know if you’ve tried any of these.
