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.

Hello parents, teachers, and blog readers!
We’ve received so much interest in The Kid Should See This and for the educational videos featured here — especially for the science vids — that we’d love to focus that attention on the teachers who are bringing science education to life for kids every day.
If you’ve liked watching videos on this ad-free blog, want to let the co-curator and I know that the research and work put into this site has meant something to you, and above all want to directly help students in need, then please consider giving this site a small tip in our tip jar by supporting one of the science-focused projects that we’ve picked on DonorsChoose.org.
It works like this:
1. Donate money to a classroom project that you like
2. When the project reaches its funding goal, DonorsChoose.org buys and sends the materials to a class.
3. Teachers have the resources they need to help kids learn!
If the project you donated to doesn’t get completely funded, you can use your donation to fund another project.
We, as a community interested in science and education, can make a difference. A donation of any size — even just $2 or $5 — will add up if every single one of us pitches in. Your donation will help provide books, supplies, equipment, videos, information, experiences and inspiration to kids who love this stuff as much as we do!
Please support us by supporting them. Thank you!
Hello SwissMiss and Kottke Readers!
It’s been a fun day around here today(!) since The Kid Should See This was mentioned on SwissMiss. Not long after that, Jason also mentioned the site. He posted this on Kottke.org:
With obvious exceptions, media “made for kids” is mindnumbingly dumb. YouTube, Flickr, and Vimeo are amazing resources of not-made-for-kids but totally-appropriate-for-kids stuff like what Rion is posting here.
This is the exact reason that I started this blog. So far, my guidelines have been that my kid(s) watch stuff that should also educate/entertain me, and that what I post here must be approved by my kid(s). My 3 year old co-curator has been a big help.
Thanks again, Jason and Tina. And welcome to all of our new readers!
