The Kid Should See This.

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 four year old co-collector.

Kids, remember Gallium from this video? Then let’s watch this spoon stir.
This spoon made from 99.998% pure gallium metal melts at 86F/30C! Great for demonstration purposes (chemistry/physics classes). After the spoon is reduced to a liquid puddle on the bottom of the cup, the gallium can easily be made solid again to make new gallium spoons (with the DIY kit), over and over!
So what does it look like to be a hula hoop? The Original Helski in London shows us with a a small GoPro HD Hero camera and a 180 degree wide angle lens. Warning: might make you dizzy! Didn’t make you dizzy? Then here’s another one!

A video that rocks 3 important things: Japan. The 80s. Bubbles. And bonus: there’s an elephant!
Thanks, @fjordaan.
A short film by Eric Wagner & Sharon Ma, what seems to be a real magician in Times Square turns out to be a surprising and impossible card trick! This animation left the co-curator laughing…
