Best Streaming Educational Shows for Younger Kids

There are plenty of learning opportunities to be had by watching educational shows. You can choose to watch a show with your kids and ask thought-provoking questions about the topic. Or an educational show for kids can be a short break for mom while kids rest and learn at the same time. And let’s face it- sometimes you just need something for the littles to do while the older kids are working on remote learning. We are homeschooling, and I use these educational shows for kids as sneaky ways to make “screen time” part of school. 

These are mostly streaming educational kids shows, and I’ve broken them down by the service provider. And here’s a tech hack: if you have an HDMI cable, you can plug your laptop in to the TV and stream any of the PBS Kids shows from the pbskids.com website!

We are a 7 Habits family, which means we build time into our daily schedule to “Sharpen the Saw”, balancing work and play. The great thing about educational shows for kids is that they are kind of like school work, but also kind of like playtime or rest time.
