The Kid Should See This.
Follow @thekidshouldsee on Twitter!
There's just so much science, nature, music, art, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there that my kids (and maybe your kids) haven't seen. It's most likely not stuff that was made for them...
But we don't underestimate kids around here.
Kid-friendly not-made-for-kids videos for all! Collected by Rion Nakaya and her three four year old co-curator.
Tip Jar: Curating this blog takes work! If you like the videos on this site, please support the science education projects that we've picked on DonorsChoose.org.

Shooting stop-motion straight down on the ground is such a great way to animate. Aardman Studio’s recently released Gulp, a sponsored short that was filmed on “the world’s largest stop-motion animation set.”
Sorry I’m Late, by Tomas Mankovsky in 2009 (above), is another fun (and more home-grown/tangible) endeavor. Shot in an auditorium in London — with a lot of tests, and trial and error — you can see just how they put it all together here: sorry-im-late.com.
Hey, co-curator! Remember what I said about practice, hard work and helmets? Okay then! Let’s watch Scottish pro rider Danny MacAskill do some ridiculously good street trials riding!
Thanks, Jason.
