jkl Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I am thinking about using The Complete Book of Animals plus a book basket plus some videos for science for dd8 and dd6 next year. I guess i could look up each animal on youtube, but I'd love suggestions for good dvds about animals! A set about different animals in a variety of habitats would be perfect! Thanks!

Guest Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Look into the BBC produced nature DVDs. There are a slew of them - http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/collections Some are available Netflix or other streaming services, and I think a great deal of them are available on Amazon as well at a non-unreasonable price. We have several and my kids love them. If you have sensitive kids, you might prescreen some of it, as well.....it's nature. There's death sometimes. I see on your sig you have a 5 year old and 2 year old, so some may be a bit much. I've been told Curiosity Stream has a function with pre-screened videos for kids, but I've never subscribed, so not sure. Maybe someone else can write more on that.

wintermom Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There are some really good animal programs on Netflix. Stephen Fry does a really interesting series called, "Last Chance to See." Martin Clunes has a few short series on dogs, horses, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Dd and I just discovered another really cool British series on Netflix called Wildlife SOS. It's about a Wildlife rescue centre in Surry, UK who help rescue local wildlife that are injured, orphaned, trapped, etc. They then release them back into their natural habitat. Dd volunteers at a similar wildlife rescue here in Canada, so it's very fun seeing some similar and many different animals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
