Are you looking for some cool websites that you and your children will love? We couldn’t help but notice a decline in kids’ motivational and critical thinking skills, so we have some ideas to help. Here are four free websites we found that offer great ways to engage kids while also providing a creative and educational outlet:
​

The Smithsonian is offering a complete Virtual Tour of its National History Museum. Check out both current and past exhibits on all types of fascinating exhibits in our planet’s history from the dinosaurs to modern day. https://naturalhistory.si.edu/visit/virtual-tour

Nasa has a wonderful library of videos by real life astronauts. How do they exercise? How do they eat? Find out all about life in space with over a dozen videos. https://www.spacestationexplorers.org/news-media/videos/

(Additional games, puzzles, and resources can be found on the “At Home Activities” page at the Department of Education: https://www.ed.gov/coronavirus?src=feature  Next, scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the resources).

Which of these activities or resources did you find most enjoyable? Are there other fun and educational websites you have been using and can recommend? If so, please share! We would love to hear from all our families on how they have been making the most of these uncertain times. Please leave a comment on our page.
