Kids learn a lot when they're at home. It's our job as parents to make sure we're giving them the best resources and make the most out of learning when they're with us. Still — holy toledo, Batman — can it be hard to know where to start. There are so many different things out there for kids, it's hard to keep them all straight!

We've got websites, virtual tours, YouTube channels, apps, free printables, podcasts and the best Instagram accounts to follow. You can thank us by way of Cadbury Mini Eggs. 😉 So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to it!

YOUTUBE CHANNELS FOR KIDS

As you well know, we love the ol' tube! It's got some great resources for kids that will get them moving, show them to draw, teach them about science, and more! They're sure to be able to find something they love.

It's almost impossible to be bored with YouTube! That said we suggest being around when anything is playing on YouTube.

CHILDREN'S LEARNING APPS

Break those iPads, tablets, and phones out, because we've got some great app resources for kids. Play educational games, learn how to read or spell, learn how to code, and even figure out how to create stop motion films!

So, if kids are going to have a phone or device in their hands, at least they'll be learning something while doing it! We love a good educational app.

EDUCATIONAL WEBSITES

You probably already use some of these resources for kids, but now you have plenty more to choose from! Did we deliver or did we deliver? 😉
