Introducing Kidscast and win a Science 4 You - Super Science Kit
As a parent I am fully aware of the dangers of my children playing online. Given their ages [ 6 and 4 years old] they love to spend time watching YouTube videos, and playing online games. The majority of these games come with in built advertisements, or in app purchases, neither of which I am happy about and more often than not they will only work with wifi or they eat up a huge chunk of my data allowance.
I was pleased to learn therefore of a new app and website due to launch soon, Kidscast. Kidscast is designed for children aged 3 years up to 12 years, which means it is perfect for both my girls. It works even when there is no wifi and it does not eat up a chunk of your data. This is perfect for when we travel on the train as their is often a lack of signal!
Kidscast is accredited by UK.CCIS and CoppaKidsafe which gives great reassurance to me as a parent. There are no adverts and no in app purchases. Kidscast is a monthly subscription of £3.99 for this you receive a whole host of activities, games and tv programs, plus every month there is a little extra. Kidscast has been designed to support children as they learn and the app is user friendly and intuitive for children to use independently.
Some of the TV programs you can watch and download from Kidscast are:
