The Kid Should See This
Rion Nakaya, a design director living in Oakland, CA, decided there’s just "so much science, nature, music, art, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there" that kids haven’t seen. Together, with her 4 & 7 year olds, she has compiled over 1,900 smart & super-cool, “not-made-for-kids, but perfect for them” videos that can be watched in the classroom* or at home. Check out The Kid Should See This for some great video clips!
(*Don't forget to preview videos before showing them to your class!)
¡Feliz cinco de mayo!
