We have enjoyed the 5 minute Sesame Street podcasts. In each episode, they teach a vocabulary word–“The Word on the Street.” You can download them free and easily with iTunes. It is a nice thing to have on your laptop if you need to give the kids something to watch in a pinch. We have sometimes watched them on my laptop at breakfast. There are maybe 100 back episodes you can download for free.

Eat this, Not That! for Kids
We have enjoyed Eat This Not That! for Kids! by David Zinczenko and Matt Goulding
Our kids have especially latched on to the designations on pages 12-16 about what kind of superpowers vegetables and fruits give you–depending on which color they are.
- “Red food makes you dash like the Flash!”
- “Orange foods give you night vision!”
- “Yellow foods make you jump higher and play harder!”
- “Green foods give you sharp vision and superhuman healing abilities!”
- “Blue foods make you the smartest kid in the class!”
