15 Most Popular Children's Websites

6:36 AM  Dale Hudson  

It's important to study current kid culture if you want to connect with today's kids.

A great way to stay connected is by looking at websites designed for kids.  Here's a current list of the 15 most popular sites for kids.

Click on them for a visit.  Look for things like what colors they're using, what topics they're addressing, what styles they're showing, what games they're providing, etc.

There's much to learn.  Have fun.

5 New Kid's TV Shows You Can Learn From

8:56 AM  Dale Hudson  

PBS, Disney and Nickelodeon are introducing several new TV shows for kids this year.  These new shows offer engaging casts of characters to entertain and inform kids.

The key word I'd like you to remember is engaging.  In order to communicate a message to kids, you have to engage them.

I want to encourage you to check out these new shows.  Watch them and make notes about what elements are incorporated to grab kid's attention.  How can you use these elements to engage the kids in your ministry?

We have the most important message ever.  There's too much at stake not to make it engaging.

Sofia the First (premiered January 11 on Disney Junior/Disney Channel)










Henry Hugglemonster (coming in the spring on Disney Junior)










Wild Kratts: Lost at Sea (premieres January 21 on PBS Kids)










 Dinosaur Train: Submarine (premieres February 18 on PBS Kids)
