What topics are available?
PBS KIDS Learn & Grow Together: Self-Confidence
The PBS KIDS Learn & Grow Together kit creates a playful, engaging environment where grown-ups and kids explore social and emotional learning (SEL) and character development themes together.
Families learn strategies to build their children’s self-confidence by exploring books, viewing PBS KIDS media, participating in art activities, and playing digital and non-digital games.
PBS KIDS Play & Learn Science: Water Play
The PBS KIDS Play & Learn Science kit is designed to strengthen families’ positive attitudes toward science through water play!
Families explore how different objects float or sink, how different materials absorb or repel water, and notice how water moves through different kinds of spaces. Throughout the experience, they practice thinking and exploring like scientists!
