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?
