35+ Best Kids Educational Videos For K-12 (Every Subject)
I am not a big fan of “screen time” for kids, but, there are certain kids’ educational videos I don’t mind my son watching.
I have compiled a list of all the kid’s educational videos we have come across.
These are our favorites for kindergarteners through to high school grades.
We use some of these educational videos on Youtube to supplement our homeschool curriculum. My son’s favorite at the minute is Art Hub for Kids. He has never been a fan of anything arty so this is great.
With the right supervision, 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.

Great to have this list as a resource. I also think that just to google something we wouldn’t normally (like how to…whatever) is valuable too helping those kids who struggle with print or academics to learn in more visual ways.
I have found with subjects such as art and history in particular for my son a visual aid is just brilliant. š
