With so many kids spending more time at home these days–and even learning remotely–we thought we’d round up a list of good documentaries for preschoolers through tweens and teens. Join us!

I listened to this last night while cleaning. I had been researching documentaries to show my kids during this time of no school so this was super timely. I have an 11 year old so Allegra’s input is great. I’m a mom hour listener and definitely have been enjoying this podcast as well. Thanks!
