Show HN: Videos with Science Activities, Engaging for Both Kids and Parents

I am a stay at home mum of twins & previously a scientist. I spend many hours trying to teach my twins through play & the part I struggled the most, is the long preparations. I tried watching Youtube videos with science activities together with my kids. The idea was that we will be watching the videos together, and follow their instructions to setup and play our own science activities! But we failed to this as well! The videos we found were: Too long and therefore not so interesting for my 4 year olds Not fun enough to keep young children’s attention Requiring too many or complicated items that we usually didn’t have at home OR Not accurate enough for us to replicate the experiments quickly and easily

So, I I did a Youtube channel with videos designed especially for parents & young kids to watch together. Its a channel where you can follow along, together with your child, to prepare and play easy, fun, STEM activities using household items. Encouraging kids to prepare their own activities is benefiting both: parents and children. Parents avoid long preparations and kids learn to follow simple instructions: a useful skill in life!

Here, is a link to my latest video. We use household items to build an un-spillable tray where we can carry and spin toys in full circles without dropping them! When they practice enough, they will also be able to spin their favorite liquids in circles ! It’s a super fun craft that you can easily do with young kids and they will be able to play independently afterwards! Just change the toy which is swinging, add a challenge to it (such as: spin three full circles without dropping it etc) and make it even more engaging! This video & craft teaches kids a lot such as a super simplified explanation of the concepts of inertia, centrifugal and centripetal force. It also allows kids to practice knots, develop focus & improve fine motor skills. .
