Parents can also relive the fun of summer experiences at home and take kids on a virtual journey of learning with Camp YouTube, which spotlights content on the Learn@Home site and YouTube Kids across beloved summer camp themes, such as arts, adventure, sports, STEM, and more. Families can discover how to make a tide pool aquarium in their backyard with Brave Wilderness, make art with household items while learning art history with the ArtistYear, or learn coding with Goldieblox.
All the new movies and specials will be uploaded every Monday in the app’s “Shows” category as individual videos and can also be found on the playlists.
Parents can also keep their home entertainment experience with kids exciting by getting ready with movie night kits, making their own popcorn, setting ambient lighting, and preparing their sound settings. After watching, they can encourage the children to write their own movie reviews or create their own story by watching this tutorial video on YouTube Kids.
The YouTube Kids app is a safe online space where kids between the age of 13 years old can explore their imagination and feed on their curiosity. The app also empowers parents to control what YouTube content their child can see, including the option to only allow content from trusted partners like Sesame Street, ChuChu TV, Bounce Patrol, and PBS Kids, or handpick other videos and channels to create a curated playlist for their kids.
