Kitten & Clucky teaching resources supplement the learning experience and make it more fun for kids!

Keep Kids… and Grandma… off the screens!

There are so many “screens” in our world today. It’s important to have screen-free time, especially for kids. Studies show that a lot of screen time in early childhood can have many negative effects.

Kitten & Clucky is designed as a screen-free activity that can be enjoyed by every generation. There are many fun and productive things to do while listening. Here are some suggestions of what to do while listening:

  • Build Legos together

  • Clean up the playroom or bedroom

  • Fold the laundry

  • Grandma can work on her embroidery of the Kitten & Clucky logo while her grandchild colors a Kitten & Clucky coloring page.

We like to make it a challenge! How much do you think we can get done before the episode is over?
