Podcasts to Inspire & Teach
“Isn’t it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive...”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
Have you and your child ever listened to a podcast together? Taking time to share a learning experience doesn’t have to add to your busy schedule. Maybe it can be as easy as learning some new information during the drive to school or to soccer practice. This month, try something new and spark a great conversation. Check out these kid-appropriate Podcast links to help inspire you and your child to think, explore, learn, and tinker.
