We are very lucky. Kora & Logan love to learn. In fact, just recently after dinner Logan asked Kora if she would like to play, “Correct the Sentence.”
This post is sponsored by Kidobi and premium membership received.
I had never heard of this game and was curious to see how they were going to play. It turns out it was just like it sounds, one of them writes a sentence full of mistakes and the other corrects it. They had a great time doing this and went back and forth for about an hour. I was amazed they found this fun and was impressed with how challenging they made the sentences and how they could solve them pretty quickly.
Needless to say, since they enjoy learning so much I make sure to infuse as much of their playtime and screen time with learning. That’s why I was excited about Kidobi. After using our provided premium version for a few weeks, I am happy to say that Kidobi is one of my favorite sites for the kids!
The video selection is massive and include clips from Sesame Street, Animal Atlas, Telmo and Tula, Pocoyo, and much more.
I love that all of the videos are prescreened by educators and child development specialists. Not only have I found the videos to be very learning oriented but fun too.
Kora and Logan have been enjoying the videos immensely. One of their favorites is this short Solid, Liquid, Gas clip. It’s a catchy song that helps them remember which is which and why.
They’ve also been enjoying learning their multiplication tables through a cute song. It’s fun watching them bopping and singing along to the song. I wish there had been such a fun way to learn multiplication when I was kid!
Here’s a video of Kora & Logan watching a Kidobi playlist of videos. It gives you a good feel for the content and quality of the videos as well as the fun the kids have while they watch the videos and sing along:
While you can watch each video individually, it’s very easy to set up playlists. This way the kids can watch for the allotted time you’d like without your having to load separate videos every few minutes. It’s a wonderful feature and I made a video showing you how it works here:
I like how easy the site is to use and the amount of videos that are available. As you can see from the video above you can easily search for specific videos in any number of ways: popularity, age, rating, category, and more.
I also like that you can create each playlist yourself or use the Playlist Wizard.
I know that not all children are as enthusiastic about learning as Kora & Logan and that’s ok. I believe that Kidobi offers something that would capture the attention of any child. With it’s wide range of videos you’re sure to find videos that your child will enjoy. From learning about animals, to how they build construction equipment, to drawing classes and everything in between there truly is something for everyone.
Here’s a video of Kora & Logan sharing their thoughts about Kidobi and whether they think other children would enjoy the site:
As you can see they love the site and I look forward to making many playlists for them this summer to enjoy on rainy days. Kidobi is available online at www.kidobi.com, for the iPad, and as Android app. We recommend it to anyone with children in their lives, I have yet to see another site with such a high quality combination of fun and educational video content that kids love.
It is sure to be a fun summer and I can’t wait to hear the interesting animal, science, and drawing facts Kora & Logan will learn from Kidobi as well as listen to them running around the house singing, “Solid….Liquid…Gas!” or “1 times 3 is 3…1 times 4 is 4…!” I admit that I’m a bit afraid the songs will get stuck in my head, but maybe I learn a thing or two along the way too.
What about you? What types of videos do the children in your life enjoy watching?
Thank you for the review! I’m off to register. :) Take care, Georgia
Thanks for the review and sharing these wonderful videos. You provided a great overview of Kidobi, but best of all is getting to see the kids enjoying it!
Have a great weekend,

That’s awesome!! Thanks for sharing!
This looks like a lot of fun and a great resource! I think my son will love it.
Have to check this one out. My son LOVES Umizoomi so as long as he’s having fun learning, why not?
This looks like fun! Will have to check it out!
This might be something my youngest two would be interested in. If they spend time on the internet, I like it to be at least educational. :)
that looks so fun! I am going to have to try this for the boys to keep them learning and having fun!
I found myself singing along! Technology has come a long way, especially in the realm of education. This seems like a great product.
My kids love playing on the computer and would love Kidobi!
looks like a great mix of fun and learning, just what i’m looking for when i look at apps and games!
That’s exactly the kind of thing I would have picked for my kids. They still talk about the games I picked out for them. I need to remember this for the future; thanks!
They like a mix of everything. I’m always looking for new apps and programs they can do online though.
off to get on my IPAD!
and hers :-)
I’ll have to share this idea with my sister! Thanks!
I love it when you can incorporate learning into play time. It looks like your kids are really enjoying that!
I am going to check into this for my children for summer. I have two that can’t afford to take time off of education. They forget everything by fall.
Oh, I hadn’t heard of this service, looks like a great selection of videos for kids. Perfect for the inevitable rainy days this summer
My son would love to use this during the summer! He tends to be a visual learner and it’s very hard to figure out which shows are good for him to watch in terms of learning. I may have to download this app to his tablet. Thanks for the post!
Looks like a fun way to learn! Your kids sold it, though. ;) They are so cute!!!
This looks like a great online option for rainy day fun! Thanks for sharing.
My girls love the YouTube educational videos!
That is really neat! I love how they screen the videos, so you don’t have to worry about your child coming across something inappropriate.
We recently tried out the app as well and my little guy loves it! It’s the first app he goes to. So great that it can be customized for age and developmental stage!
My kids love educational videos and I think they would really enjoy this! I’m definitely going to look into it more. We mostly just watch whatever is on PBS. Wild Kratts is a current favorite.
This is perfect for my granddaughter. Perfect! I
My kids would love this, thanks for sharing!
I actually heard of this app! The kids look like they love it. I love anything that is educational for them. Thanks so much!!
This would be great for the summer!
These look like they would be something my daughter would love. She enjoys watching videos online.
My kids would have loved this when they were younger! I like the song about Solid.
wow it is amazing what is available for kids to learn. My kids like watching pbs videos online.
