35+ Best Kids Educational Videos For K-12 (Every Subject)

Like What You See? Tell Your Friends!

I am not a big fan of “screen time” for kids, however, there are certain kid’s educational videos on Youtube I don’t mind my son watching.

I have compiled a list of all of the kid’s educational videos we have come across either previously before Freddie was school-aged or the ones we use now he is 11 years old. We use some of these educational videos on Youtube during our homeschool day, Freddie’s favorite at the minute is Art Hub for Kids. He has never been a fan of anything remotely arty so this is great.

With the right supervision, the kids can learn so much from educational videos on YouTube. If you set up Youtube Kids which has lots of parental controls on it, your children will be much safer online.
