January in Noggin

 

Did you know that family plays an important role in helping kids to form their identities and to develop their sense of self? This gives them an understanding of how they fit into the world. Noggin’s family section is designed to spark conversations and inspire ideas that we hope will help to create stronger family bonds.

This month, a section of Noggin’s app is focused on family! Launch the app and look for the “Family” button in the nav. Noggin’s family section is designed to spark conversations and inspire ideas that we hope will help to create stronger family bonds.

Sing-Along with us!

Families are different and come in all shapes and sizes, but the one thing families have in common is love. Watch Noggin’s “Welcome Home Family” song with your little one and use the song to prompt a conversation with your child about what makes your family special.

Play Along with the Guppies! 

This month, learn about family with the Bubble Guppies. When the Guppies learn that Molly is a soon-to-be big sister, they dive into fin-tastic facts about babies. 

TIP: While playing along with this “Bubble Baby” interactive video, talk with your child about the characteristics of big kids (themselves) and babies!

Read Dora’s Bedtime Explorers eBook

Dora and her siblings follow a special betime routine. Is Dora’s family like yours at bedtime? After reading the eBook with your little one, with your kids and then discuss the routines your family follows and/or routines they’d like to put in place (like reading an eBook every night). 

TIP: If toothbrushing causes trouble in your household, try singing Dora and Boot’s toothbrushing song featured in “Bedtime Explorers.” This little tune can become a part of your bedtime routine!
