The only TV channel that we get in our house with kids show on it is PBS. We don’t think all of the other channels are necessary and there are much better things to do with your time than to watch TV. That being said, we do let Hailey watch TV. She doesn’t get to watch a lot of TV and we are careful about what she is allowed to watch. One of her favorite shows just happens to be one of my favorite shows- “Sid the Science Kid.” We both love Sid. I love how educational “Sid the Science Kid” is; we have both learned from Sid. ”Sid the Science Kid” debuted in September of 2008 and was quickly one of our favorite shows. Here’s a bit more about the show, taken from their website:
“Sid the Science Kid”, The Jim Henson Company’s first series for PBS KIDS that features a practical in-school science curriculum, uses music and humor to celebrate children’s natural curiosity about science in everyday life. The energetic and inquisitive Sid starts each episode with a new question (“Why are my shoes shrinking?” “Why do bananas get mushy?”) and embarks on a fun-filled day of finding answers with the help of family and friends.
The “Sid the Science Kid” website also has great activities for parents and teachers to use. So you can watch the show with your child, talk about it, then go to the website for extension activities. If you’re looking for an educational and fun show for your kids- be sure to see when Sid the Science Kid is on where you live.
