Do you and your children love
animals? I have always absolutely loved animals! My mother used to order the
National Geographic for me each month so I could read more about animals and go
on adventures through their worlds. Now, you do not need to order the magazine,
National Geographic has online games, articles, photos, recipes, and so much
more! This is fun and educational for your children!
The National Geographic has an area for children where
they can watch videos of animals in their natural habitats, read facts about
their favorite animals, browse through photos of animals, and learn about
countries all over the world. They also have an area called “fun stuff” which
has jokes, cartoons, crafts, and recipes you can look at to have fun with your
child! Check it out at: http://bit.ly/Hnnyre

For little kids, National Geographic has videos, pictures,
and facts on animals geared towards younger children. Toot and Puddle and Mama
Maribelle videos are posted with games and learning goals for kids from the
shows that parents can read and emphasize. My favorite is the Explorer
Magazine. A voice reads the words of the magazine while each word is
highlighted! They also have a guide of how to teach it! They have this and so
much more! Check out: http://bit.ly/Hl8aHY

While technology offers wonderful opportunities such as
this, be careful on the screen time your child has each day. The American
Association of Pediatrics suggests that you only allow your child to have one
to two hours of screen time a day which includes television, computer, phone, iPad,
etc. Children learn better through face to face interaction. If you would like
to read more about this check out: http://bit.ly/Hiiy8c
Knowing that, you can let your kids play games for a bit,
but you could use the information from the articles to teach your kids face to
face about the animals you and your kids love and use the crafts page to come up
with fun ideas to go along with the lesson!
What is your favorite part of the
National Geographic?
