Best Educational  Channels for Kids

Once, the only “screen time” kids had was in front of the television. Today, kids still watch TV, but even cable TV offerings are limited. Kids are not likely to find a TV show instructing them on the finer points of making do-it-yourself (DIY) slime. There probably are few TV shows starring a child their exact age who shares the same obsession with the same boy band. It’s unlikely that the decision-makers responsible for TV programming will greenlight a program dedicated to discovering what happens when various items are flushed down the toilet.

No, your kids probably won’t find these shows on TV. But, they will find them (and millions like them) on YouTube. Unfortunately, a huge chunk of YouTube’s “programming” is vapid and unsuitable or even dangerous for kids. However, YouTube does have some redeeming channels. With supervision, your kids can actually learn things you want them to learn from YouTube. Here, in no particular order, are ten quality YouTube channels for kids.
