Here at TT2G, we LOVE a good blog. Whether it be hands on learning activities, kids crafts, or recipe ideas, we are huge fans.
With technology at the forefront of our society, finding productive, safe, and informative ways to get the kids their “screen time” can be challenging. Not that we are pro technology and screen time, as we truly support kids being kids and getting outside and using imaginative play, but we are realistic and understand that technology is becoming all too prevalent. As a New Years Resolution, we are encouraging you to spend time with your children to teach them kid-friendly ways to navigate the internet and get the most out of the amazing resources that are out there.
We have rounded up our 5 favorite kids blogs/websites that we recommend. Included with each blog description is a staff pick activity from the website. Enjoy : )
*As a helpful tip, you can make a “favorites” folder on the internet browser with a link to all of the kids links and that way, they know (and you know) exactly what sites they are visiting. A win-win!
