Finding YouTube videos for kids to watch that are fun, educational, and don’t drive you crazy can be a challenge. And it’s one I know well – my kids love YouTube, so “Baby Shark” is always in rotation at my house, along with the rest of my kids’ playlist, which should be titled “Songs My Mom Never Wants to Hear Again.”
While I know the old standbys aren’t going anywhere, it’s nice to have some alternatives for the days when I will lose it if I have to listen to the kid from “Johny Johny Yes Papa” lie to his dad about eating sugar one more time.
