IMAGINE THIS
Ages 4+
Short, well produced, informative, fun.My 5yo loves Imagine This and, even though I’ve heard them all four times by now they’re still very good.If you’re wanting more questions from kids answered by people in the know then you may also like Curious Kids (not a podcast) https://theconversation.com/au/topics/curious-kids-36782
NOISEY BY NATURE
Ages 4+
Another ABC podcast, this one delves into the noises animals make. and is fun and informative.
STORY SALAD
Ages 4+Three words, three minutes, one story salad. A simple idea done well, and one that then can move from the podcast into the car as you give your children 3 words to create a story from…
Mother Tongue
Ages 4+
All about learning language and about different cultures, really well produced and great to listen to.
LULLABY EFFECT
Ages: Adults (parents)
So, why should we sing to our children? this is a great short podcast that invites us to think about how our singing to children helps their development and our relationships.
DIRTGIRL’S NATURE DETECTIVE AGENCY
Ages 4+
This is a great podcast, probably better for a older cohort (6+) but still really good for the younger crew too.
Poetry, riddles, puzzles, information, humour, facts Dirtgirl’s podcast is great.
