    Screen Time Ideas

    In some households, chaotic evenings call for screen time while the grown-ups cook. This allows grown-ups to focus on meal-prep, and it gives kids a little downtime. Although it’s best to research quality programs and co-view them with your kids, we know it’s not always possible. That’s why we’ve done some of the legwork for you. Below are our top picks for high-quality, educational programs!  What are the BENEFITS of kids watching educational TV while you cook?

    • Get your Creativity on!
    • Come Hang with these Literacy Superheroes
    • Zany Bots Tackle Big Questions
    • Learn Empathy with this Kid Doc
    • Come swim and sing about the world!
    • This Tiger Helps Kids with all the Feels
    • Learn to Read & Explore the Words in Your World!
