Finding kids appropriate video content online is usually an arduous task especially when it comes to browsing a video library such as YouTube that contains millions of unfiltered videos. The good news is that Google attended to this problem by releasing a new service called YouTube for Kids that is entirely kids focused. In addition to YouTube for Kids, there are also a variety of excellent Youtube channels that provide interesting educational video content specifically tailored to meet kids learning needs. The last time we compiled a list of YouTube channels for kids was in 2012 and since then many new channels have seen the light and some old ones have disappeared.So we went ahead and create this new list that teachers and parents can use with their kids.
