Introducing our children to the benefits of technology can be an overwhelming tasks. There is no shortage of games, videos, and episodic visual content constantly at their (and our) fingertips on our phones and tablets. Podcasts are a perfect way to introduce educational stories and songs and information to our children in ways that are more palatable for younger audiences.
Instead of listening to the radio on the commute to and from work or school, choose a kid-friendly podcast (kidcasts, for short!) to listen to together and engage with your preschoolers. Kidcasts are also great for bath time or just before bedtime as a way to center and connect with your child before settling down. Check out these great options for kidcasts that you can enjoy as an entire family:
Ear Snacks – Andrew and Polly have created fun, musical, and entertaining podcasts for even the littlest of listeners with this podcast. Episodes cover a range of topics, including fruit, shadows, rain, disguises, critters, and more!
Sparkle Stories – This kidcast developed in Austin, Texas, and featuring the storytelling of David Sewell McCann, offers nearly 900 stories with accompanying recipes, crafts, and tutorials. These stories are organized by topic and age.
Story Pirates – This kidcast takes stories written by children and puts them into the hands of famous comedians, improvisers, and musicians to retell the story in fun and funny ways! See how many voices Mom and Dad recognize!
Little Stories for Tiny People – For even the youngest podcast listener, these original stories are often shorter and simpler, perfect for car rides to and from preschool or just before bedtime.
Find all of these podcasts and more on iTunes, Stitcher, or SoundCloud. Happy listening!
