In this digital age, screen-time has become inevitable. Kids love it and instead of stopping it completely, using it wisely and as an educational tool is a great way to expose them to some amazing information. I do not recommend screen time for kids under 3 years of age. However, moderate and monitored exposure after that can be a great way to introduce them to a huge world out there.
Here are my favourite educational shows for kids!
