Kid Safe Online Videos!

Link to the video: Laughing Squid Stickers being made.

John Fischer over at Sticker Giant has put together a great video showing how his two-color stickers are made. This is great for any kid (or kid at heart) who has a curiosity about the things around them. Good talking points: how would you make sure the colors overlap properly? What safety issues to the people working there need to think about? If you could make stickers, what would they be?

Length: 4:05

Possible concerns: One of the workers at the cutting station has a tool with a skull and flames sticker on it. The appearance is brief, but repeated several times, so if your little one has issues with skulls, you may wish to avoid the video. Also, some of the stock stickers offered may not be appropriate for everyone – but they do have a Kids’ Stickers area you can, well… stick to.

Would I let my son watch? Absolutely!

Link to the video: Stop-motion Origami

The video: this guy goes through and does an interesting sped-up movie about how he made an origami bird “fly”. It’s quite fast-paced and perfect for kids (and we adults…) who often ask the question “Howdeedoodat?”.

Length: 2:46

Possible concerns: This video is on YouTube, so the same information and cautions as spoken about in the post about Light Painting.

Would I let my own son watch? Yes!

The internet is a wonderful place because you can find anything.

The internet is a scary place because you can find anything.

Hi, I’m Jodie, and I’m a mom with an 8-year-old son. He loves the internet and all the wonders it holds, but I couldn’t just let him run around willy-nilly looking for cool things.

Since I was poking about anyway looking for fun videos for him to watch – ones I would let him see – I thought I might as well post my findings so that others may benefit.
