If you’re like a lot of people, you probably use YouTube for listening to music, watching videos of cute animals, or just for procrastinating on homework.

While it is a platform for all of those things, there’s a whole other side to YouTube you may have never considered. YouTube has hundreds of channels that can teach you any subject you could ever think of (as well as dozens you didn’t even know existed).

With hundreds of hours of video uploaded every minute, however, it can be difficult to sort out the helpful, quality channels from the useless ones.

That’s why we’ve created this guide, which covers the 100+ best educational YouTube channels currently in existence. You’ll find videos on everything from music theory to weird geography facts to how to succeed in business (the hard, effective way).

To be quite honest, the right mix of these YouTube channels might be able to teach you more than you could ever learn in college. At the least, many of these channels can serve as useful supplements to the classes you are taking. If you’re not a student, you can still get a lot of value out of watching these, as they can help you to never stop learning .

Studying and Learning

This is a college blog, after all, so it makes sense to start with some channels that will help you improve your study skills. Some of these channels focus on specific study techniques, while others will guide you through specific subjects.

If you’re looking for advice on school supplies, organization, or just what the academic side of college is like, then check out this channel from current college student Sareena.

Easy Languages

Most language courses are boring, formulaic, and unrealistic. Easy Languages is the opposite — each video teaches you vocabulary, grammar, or concepts in a language using real conversations with people on the streets.

They have videos for just about every language you can think of, and they add new content regularly. If you’re trying to learn a language , this is an essential resource.

Thomas Frank

Thomas Frank makes videos that help you be more productive – whether you’re in high school, college, university, or the real world.

This includes study tips to help you learn faster and ace your exams, advice on destroying procrastination, reading and note-taking strategies, and more.

Struggling with a particular academic subject? Want to learn a new subject on your own? Crash Course can help. They have courses on physics, philosophy, games, economics, U.S. government and politics, astronomy, anatomy & physiology, world history, biology, sociology, computer science, film history, mythology, literature, ecology, chemistry, psychology, and U.S. history.

You’ll never have an excuse to say “I’m bored” again.

The Coding Train

In the future, being able to code will be as crucial as knowing how to read. Okay, so that’s probably an exaggeration, but if you’ve been wanting to learn how to code, The Coding Train is a great place to start.

The videos are detailed, easy to understand, and even funny. Whether you want to learn the very basics or are exploring a more advanced topic such as machine learning, The Coding Train has a video series for you.

Now You See It takes a look at the themes and tropes in film. As the channel descriptions puts it, “It’s like a college film analysis class minus the lecture halls, essay assignments, and student loan debts.”

Volksgeist makes videos “examining important works of music.” The channel primarily focuses on hip hop artists and albums, though there are also videos about rock and even other music YouTubers.

These videos take a critical look at superhero movies and other pop culture, with lots of speculation and commentary about what these movies do right (and how they could improve).

LowSpecGamer

For the serious video game nerds only, LowSpecGamer shows how to run modern games on low-end computers…by doing whatever it takes.

Thomas, Martin, and I all play music and are interested in learning more about it. These are some of our favorite channels for learning about everything from music theory to the reason pop songs are so catchy.

If you’re learning guitar, then Paul Davids’ channel is a must-watch. He teaches everything from basic scales to advanced chord progressions and riffs. He also has a variety of videos that will help you shop for guitars and gear.

Adam Neely is a bassist and composer who makes videos about music theory and “new horizons in music.” It’s definitely more of an advanced channel, but any music nerds reading will love it.

Music theory might seem like an obscure, boring topic that only music majors or composers need to care about. If you watch this channel, however, you’ll learn that that couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, music theory can help you appreciate the music you love at an even deeper level.

Simon Clark

Simon Clark makes videos about climate physics and the crazy world of online video.

Practical Engineering

Unless you’re an engineer, you probably think of engineering as a boring, complex topic that only the gifted few can understand. Practical Engineering, however, will show you just how interesting and important engineering is.

And unlike lots of channels that just show video footage or animations to explain a topic, Practical Engineering uses real scale models and at-home examples to demonstrate engineering concepts. At the very least, this channel will give you a deeper appreciation for all the thought that goes into engineering everyday things.

Draw Curiosity

Ph.D. student Inés Dawson makes videos about interesting science and language facts, all with the aim of stimulating your curiosity about the world around you.

TierZoo uses gaming to explain zoology, showing some of the bizarre things that have resulted from evolution.

It may sound like science fiction, but it’s all based in very real science.

Isaac Arthur

Interested in futurism and space exploration? This channel uses science fiction as a way to examine what could be possible as technology continues to advance and we reach further towards the stars.

Medlife Crisis

Medlife Crisis aims to give you accurate, research-backed information about science and medicine. The host is cardiologist, internal medicine doctor, and university researcher, so you can bet the information will be high-quality.

But even more than giving you accurate information, Medlife Crisis does so with humor and hilariously bad jokes, making even the most obscure topics interesting.

Science with Katie

Katie is a biochemist who makes videos about the basics of chemistry, biology, and the science of health.

Simone Giertz

Everybody’s talking about the “maker movement,” but few channels on the topic are as exciting and funny as Simone Giertz. Whether it’s turning a Tesla into a pickup truck or building a robot that gives (somewhat questionable) manicures, this channel will both educate and entertain you.

Amazingly well-explained videos about complex math concepts.

Austin McConnell

Austin McConnell makes videos about an eclectic range of topics, from video essays on media to random questions such as what to do if your parachute fails.

Knowing Better

Knowing Better attempts to present a balanced viewpoint on controversial, misunderstood topics. Much of the channel focuses on historical events, but it also covers religion, politics, and even scientific topics.

One of the best cooking channels on YouTube. If you can learn to cook food you actually like, then you’ll save a ton of money and end up maintaining a healthier diet.

Pro Home Cooks

Think that cooking your own food is too difficult and time-consuming? Pro Home Cooks challenges that belief with each of their videos. Whether it’s mastering the art of brewing kombucha or showing you how to eat for just $3 a day, this channel will show teach you to love cooking for yourself and others.

Best Educational YouTube Channels for College Students

Updated: January 8, 2024

Published: January 19, 2020

In an age of technology , learning is no longer restricted to lecture halls and textbooks. Videos have now become a frequently used method of teaching, providing students with interactive content that makes learning more fun. Let’s take a look at some of the best educational YouTube channels out there that can help you to improve your knowledge and make learning fun.

Why Educational YouTube Channels are a Good Idea

Firstly, it is important to remember that you can only concentrate for a limited time.

In fact, one popular study technique is known as the 50/10 study sessions. This means you study for 50 minutes and then take a 10-minute break.

What’s great about many YouTube accounts is that they ensure that each lesson is short and sweet. This makes it easier to stay focused and concentrated without getting distracted or fatigued.

Another great thing about YouTube videos is that they are engaging, but not distracting like study groups might be. While it may be fun to study with friends, it can be easy to drift off in conversation and talk about things that have nothing to do with studying.

Most YouTube channels also have organized playlists. This means that each lesson is given in the correct order of how you should learn the subject.

Finally, some learners simply find it easier to study using visual or audio methods. YouTube videos provide both visual and audio assistance, which makes them easier and more fun to learn from than textbooks.

So without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best YouTube learning channels out there!

YouTube can either be your best friend or a time-sucking enemy in disguise. YouTube shows whatever content it thinks you’ll be most interested in and curates suggestions around your watch history. If you find your feed is filled with Family Guy clips that zoom in every 15 seconds to avoid copyright bans or other mind-dulling content, you might want to switch your watch history up. You can easily learn about every topic under the sun on YouTube, and here are 8 of the best educational YouTube channels to do it with. 

These channels put forth educational content in an interesting and easy-to-digest manner. They’re generally family-friendly if you’re trying to find something to watch with the kids, but they’re entertaining enough for adults too. You’re not going to become a rocket scientist by binge-watching these channels, but you very well will come out of it with a piece of knowledge you didn’t have before. 

Derek Muller has been making educational videos on YouTube as Veritasium for so long that his hair has started turning grey. His videos tend to revolve around one main central idea, and he often interviews experts on the subject matter. His most popular video revolves around answering the question of why there are 96,000,000 shade balls floating on the surface of a reservoir . Besides that, he has also held the world’s roundest object, played with aerogel, and sat in anechoic chambers for extended periods of time. 

Smarter Every Day

Destin Sandlin at Smarter Every Day is one of the most prolific science and education YouTubers. Every video revolves around exploring a facet of science or his own ingenious creations, like a baseball bat that swings at 250+ miles per hour. His videos are extremely easy to watch and offer interesting perspectives on things all around us, like grain bins, bicycles, and Prince Rupert’s Drops. His series where he boards a US submarine and shows us the (non-classified) inner workings is an amazing series that you’ll find yourself watching for hours. 

Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell

Kurzgesagt is a great channel for those that enjoy high-quality animations alongside their stream of educational knowledge. With over 20,000,000 subscribers, they’ve certainly got quite the following—and for good reason. They put a ton of effort into their videos and ensure that all of their claims or facts are backed by research. Their most popular videos include a discussion on the immune system, the Fermi Paradox, and a deep-sea nuke. 

Numberphile

Fans of math, numbers, and other interesting concepts should immediately subscribe to Numberphile . Brady Haran serves as the videographer and producer. There are a variety of highly qualified speakers in each video, like Hannah Fry, Matt Parker, and famed mathematician Terence Tao. Their most popular videos include discussing the problem from the famed film Good Will Hunting , problems with the number zero, and the WWII Nazi Enigma machine . If you’re interested in computers, they have a separate channel titled Computerphile you might want to take a look at. 

Arguably the most popular education and science YouTuber, Mark Rober has some of the best videos out there. Not all of it is even about education; some of it is just downright entertainment. You’ve probably seen his videos where he makes bait packages for porch thieves that spray fart spray and make police siren noises, but he has lots of other videos covering topics you won’t find on other channels. He created a pool out of jello, goes over carnival scams, and creates videos highlighting groundbreaking technology, like a packet that purifies water and drones that automatically deliver medical supplies across Rwanda. 

Stuff Made Here

Stuff Made Here is an engineering and science channel that has quickly grown into one of the more popular science channels on YouTube. His inventions are fairly wacky and not exactly useful, but they’re a great testament to engineering and often showcase creative problem-solving. His most popular video is a basketball hoop that automatically catches the ball, an automatic pool stick, and a bat that uses .50 caliber blanks to hit out-of-the-park home runs. 

Vsauce has been on YouTube since the late 2000s and has routinely posted quality educational videos. Known for jumping from one point to another based on some sort of thin relation, Vsauce is hosted by Michael Stevens, who serves to answer every random thought or question you might have. His 3rd most popular video answers the lifelong question of “What if everyone jumped at the same time?” If you enjoy Vsauce, you might want to check out other channels in the Vsauce network, like Vsauce2 and Vsauce3 , hosted by other creative and bright individuals. 

Tom Scott has 708 videos of highly educational content from places you didn’t even know existed. He’s posted a video every week for almost 10 years, which is quite an impressive feat, and shows just how dedicated and varied his content is. Some of his most popular videos include sending garlic bread to space and eating it, a musical road in California that sounds terrible, and why the US Army electrifies a certain body of water outside of Chicago.

How to Watch YouTube Videos Safely

The best youtube channels for teaching, recent updates.

This article was updated October 2023. 

The online video and social media behemoth YouTube is not only a repository for millions of free videos, but also the second-most visited website worldwide. 

For educators to make the most of YouTube, they first have to screen out content that’s inappropriate—or simply not educational. Then the task becomes finding and curating engaging and relevant educational videos. Fortunately, YouTube learning channels feature thousands of educational (and often fun or quirky) videos on every possible academic subject. 

The following safe-viewing tips and best YouTube channels will help teachers take advantage of the fantastic free educational videos YouTube provides.

YouTube restricted mode In restricted mode, YouTube search filters out potentially inappropriate videos and automatically hides comments below videos. Click on your account icon to find the restricted mode toggle setting at the bottom of the menu.  

Safe Share TV Create a “SafeView” video simply by entering the video URL of any YouTube or Vimeo video. Then watch videos free of ads and distractions. Includes editing function to trim videos to any length and the ability to share directly to Google Classroom. 

VideoLink Enter a YouTube video URL in the search box, and VideoLink generates an ad-free, safe URL that can be shared easily via QR code, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other social media apps. Includes the ability to quickly edit the title, background color, length, and other features.

TeachEngineering What’s better than a free standards-aligned digital library chock full of engineering and design-thinking topics? How about brief, engaging videos to demonstrate principles ranging from solar power to drifting continents to musical images? From the nonprofit TeachEngineering and the University of Colorado Boulder, these videos are lively, fun, and highly educational. Use videos as stand-alone mini lessons or combine them with TeachEngineering’ free lessons on its website .

Will your students learn more? Maybe, maybe not. But they will definitely pay more attention!

Art for Kids Hub Goofy and delightful, the family-run Art for Kids Hub won’t share the secrets of Renaissance painters, Cubism, or Expressionism. What it will do is show kids, in line-by-line action, how to draw fun characters, whether familiar or strange and hilarious (cartoon avocado toast, anyone?). Rest assured that the drawing instruction provided is top notch as well as entertaining.

10 of the Most Popular Science and Education YouTube Channels

These genius YouTubers teach you stuff worth knowing

• University of Ontario
• George Brown College
• Online Dating

The science and education shows on YouTube explore and present information in fun and creative ways. Adding special effects, filming real experiments, and pumping personality into their lessons allow YouTubers to create videos that are more exciting and interesting to watch than a similar lesson from a college or university course.

The incredible people who run these channels know how to make learning fun. Take a look at the following list of top science and education channels that make you want to learn as much as possible while keeping you entertained.

Thought-provoking content.

Not traditionally academic.

Breaks down complex topics.

Might not help with school.

Might be too technical.

Vsauce is a channel that never disappoints. Host Michael Stevens explains some of life's most interesting questions like Did the past really happen?  or Why don't we all have cancer?

His videos can be enjoyed by just about everyone and never lack in thought-provoking details. Michael knows how to break down the most complex topics and ideas in an intriguing way so everyone can understand.

VlogBrothers

Super long-running channel.

Entertaining and informative.

Takes questions from viewers.

Not their main focus anymore.

Might not be all that academic.

John and Hank Green of the VlogBrothers are two of the most accomplished and recognized YouTubers of all time. On their main channel, they take turns vlogging back and forth about various topics, often taking questions from their viewers—also known as nerd fighters.

Together, they've launched several successful projects, including the annual VidCon YouTube conference and the DFTBA Records distribution network.

MinutePhysics

Short, quick videos.

Direct approach.

Can definitely help with school questions.

Somewhat narrow focus.

Still might be too technical for some.

MinutePhysics puts a cool spin on learning with bite-sized videos that explain science and physics topics in hand-drawn doodles that are sped up to the speed of the narration, so you get the clearest visual representation of what's being explained.

If you're short on time and attention span, MinutePhysics's two to three-minute videos offer the perfect mini-lessons for straight-to-the-point learning.

SmarterEveryDay

Tries to make topics accessible.

More casual style.

More entertaining than academic.

The SmarterEveryDay YouTube show features a mashup of everything from general vlogging about interesting science topics and telling stories through short animations to filming real experiments. Host Destin Sandlin is always mixing it up to keep it exciting.

Unlike other YouTube channels, SmarterEveryDay follows a casual vlogging style and doesn't use a ton of fancy editing tricks and effects to be interesting to watch.

PBS Idea Channel

From a trusted source.

Regular content.

Diverse topics.

Discusses more than it explains.

Probably not the best for school.

Want a break from all that science stuff but still want to learn something new and awesome? The PBS Idea Channel and host Mike Rugnetta explore fascinating connections in pop culture, technology, and art.

Many of the channels on this list focus on presenting real facts and scientific explanations. This one focuses more on ideas, trends, and opinions to back up interesting arguments.

The channel is officially part of PBS.org. It releases a new video every Wednesday.

Numberphile

Math for people who don't like math.

Tries to make numbers more interesting.

Not really structured lessons.

Dislike math? You may want to reconsider after watching a video or two from Numberphile. This YouTube channel shows that it's all about number exploration. You'll be surprised to learn how many everyday things in life can be explained in a numerical sense.

From figuring out how to win at a game of Dots to understanding what infinity means, Numberphile can probably turn any bad math student into someone who wants to learn more about the wonderful world of numbers.

Variety of topics.

Real-time demos and experiments.

Diverse topics make it less predictable.

If you're looking for an all-around cool science show with great variety, maybe similar to the stuff you see on the Discovery channel, then Veritasium is a YouTube channel you need to subscribe to.

The show focuses on delivering "the element of truth" in all sorts of science and engineering topics, featuring everything from amazing demos and mind-blowing experiments to interviews with experts and interesting discussions with all sorts of people.

AsapScience

Uses pictures to make topics accessible.

Tackles interesting questions.

Great for people without a science background.

Doesn't necessarily explain how things work.

Similar to MinutePhysics, AsapScience uses fun and colorful doodles to dig deep into some of life's most fascinating questions, using science. The show answers questions like, What if humans disappeared? and Should we all be eating insects?  It's hard not to be enticed by some of these titles.

Each video does such a great job at teaching that the youngest and least scientifically educated people should be able to understand it.

CrashCourse

Experienced and well-known YouTubers.

Free complete courses.

Courses aren't always updated regularly.

John and Hank Green from the Vlog Brothers also run the CrashCourse channel. This show offers free courses in anatomy, physiology, world history, psychology, literature, astronomy, and politics. John and Hank host the show along with three other prominent YouTube hosts.

With the help of these free online courses, both teachers and students can benefit from a learning style that's incredibly informative, fun, and rewarding.

Another channel from the Green Brothers.

Covers a variety of topics.

Answers interesting questions.

Not really academically focused.

SciShow is one of the many channels the Vlog Brothers have launched over the years. Primarily hosted by Hank Green, SciShow educates viewers about science, history, and other interesting concepts.

Of all the shows on this list, this one has some of the coolest editing effects. Colorful animations and text fly around the host as he speaks while tackling questions like Why are eggs egg-shaped? and How do oysters make pearls?

The 25 Best Educational YouTube Channels for Kids

Between years of pandemic disruptions and modern elementary education’s increased dependence on screen time, online learning videos are more popular than ever. Family Education took a closer look, searching for kid-friendly YouTube channels that offered engaging educational content for kids ranging from kindergarten to junior high.

Based on our perusal of subscriber count and content quality, creativity, and diversity, here are some of the best educational YouTube channels for 2024's kids. Some of these selections spotlight evergreen channels curating high-quality content that can be reused again and again, including in the classroom. Other picks made the list for their high viewerships and regular updates of fresh, engaging learning videos. We've included recommended viewing ages wherever possible, marking which channels are the most little-kid-friendly and which are most likely to excite older kids.

The types of educational content represented include phonics, math, reading, American history, world history, digital literacy, media criticism, science, music, bilingual learning practice, and physical fitness.

1. Bright Side - 44.5M subscribers

Bright Side doesn't list a target audience age range, instead adopting a mission of "inspiration, creativity, [and] wonder." Perhaps its best descriptor is interesting, as in, there is always something randomly interesting to watch here. Interspersed with riddles and brain teasers are various science and psychology factoids. If you've ever wondered what could happen if a baseball smacked into the International Space Station at light speed, or how to survive in a black hole, Bright Side is your kind of place. Best for older kids and teens.

2. Kid's Learning Tube - 1.98M subscribers

Kid's Learning Tube is a treasure trove of educational videos, each of which focuses on a single topic. From Earth Day to vegetables to anxiety, Kids Learning Tube combines original sing-along educational songs with animation for a fun learning environment. Playlist categories include "Earth Science," "Famous Inventors," "Motivational Songs for Kids," and much more.

3. TED-Ed - 19.5M subscribers

Does time exist? Why do cities need trees? Why isn't the world covered in poop? TED-Ed , home of the signature TED talks, answers these and many more burning childhood questions in beautifully animated videos. Search the playlists for subjects such as "Love" or "Superhero Science," and look for TED-Ed's multi-episode series, including There's a Poem for That and Think Like a Coder .

While most preteens will love this channel, many of the videos are appropriate for younger kids, as well.

4. Netflix Jr. - 15.9M subscribers

Top 11 Educational YouTube Channels for Kids

These expert- and parent-loved educational YouTube channels for kids in kindergarten, elementary, and middle school will educate and entertain for hours on end.

You're far from alone if your child is head over heels for streaming YouTube videos. According to 2020 data from the Pew Research Center, 80% of all parents with a child age 11 or younger said their child watches videos on YouTube, and 53% noted that their child does this daily. But given that there's so much questionable content, parents often try to steer their kids toward YouTube channels that are as educational as they are entertaining.

We chatted with experts and parents to round up the best educational YouTube channels for kids. Read on for 11 channels to feel good about queuing up for your kids.

1. StorylineOnline

Kids will also gain comprehension and verbal and written skills, thanks to Storyline Online's curriculum guides that complement their educational titles.

2. Amy Poehler's Smart Girls

Amy Poehler's Smart Girls YouTube channel tops the list of best educational YouTube channels for middle school-aged kids. "By empowering girls through intelligence and imagination instead of fitting in, Amy Poehler's YouTube Channel gives girls the freedom to just be them," notes Jordan. "Heavier topics also include domestic violence prevention and standing up for what's right, but there are plenty of science, math, and creative videos as well."

3. Khan Academy Kids

Khan Kids YouTube channel, a part of the online learning platform Khan Academy, was built to offer learning resources to parents and kids aged 2 to 8. The channel features a weekly "Circle Time" video encouraging children to learn, play, and read together.

Meredith Bodgas, a mom of two from Bellmore, New York, says her sons love Mr. DeMaio . "He's a real teacher whose YouTube channel teaches elementary-school-age kids about history, social studies, and science," says Bodgas.

"He's a millennial and knows that millennial parents are watching along with their kids , so he plants '90s references for us. His videos run 10-20 minutes, but my 6-year-old stays entranced throughout and actually retains the information." That makes this one of the best educational YouTube channels for kids and parents.

5. PBS Kids

Parents rave about the PBS Kids YouTube channel. "There is no comparison when it comes to getting ready for kindergarten ," notes Becky Bracken, a mom of one from Phoenix, Arizona. "And the emotional intelligence stuff in Daniel Tiger is second to none. And I still can't hear Elmo singing 'Bye Bye Binky' without openly weeping."

6. SciShow Kids

Ashley Austrew, a mom of two from Omaha, Nebraska, says her kids are big fans of SciShow Kids , a science-based channel that inspires kids of all ages to do experiments, research new questions, and talk with experts.

"They have helpful explainers on a wide range of science topics like 'what causes thunder and lightning,' 'why are there seasons,' etc.," she says. "My kids like that we can find videos to answer all the quirky questions they have, like why bread has holes in it, and they really enjoy the little cartoon elements and visuals that make complex topics accessible to them."

7. BrainPOP

BrainPOP's animated, curricular content is meant to engage kids on a slew of subjects, from engineering to Emily Dickinson, while supporting educators and boosting achievement. BrainPOP is geared toward kids in grades 4 and up, while BrainPOP Jr. serves kids in kindergarten to grade 3. There is also BrainPOP Espanol and BrainPOP Francais.

Lauren Sweeney, a mom from Evanston, Illinois, says her son loves the content. "They do a great job of breaking down really complex—and sometimes weighty, there's a GREAT one about BLM—stuff in a way that makes sense to kids," she notes.

8. Mike Likes Science

Jordan loves the science-inspired music videos on the Mike Likes Science YouTube channel for middle- and high-school-aged kids. "Mike's catchy hip-hop tunes and rap definitely make the memory part of science and math just a little easier to navigate," she says.

9. Art for Kids Hub

Rob, a dad of four, uploads new art lessons for elementary school-aged kids to the Art for Kids Hub YouTube channel every week. "This family-inspired art channel teaches kids how to draw just about anything with easy step-by-step instructions," notes Jordan.

Mo Mulla, dad and founder of the blog Parental Questions , likes Netflix Jr. for its catchy animated tunes, which encourage toddlers and young elementary school-aged children to sing, play, and learn everything from their numbers, colors, animals, time, ABCs, and more.

For kids in grades K-12, Ted-Ed is an invaluable, engaging resource. "We love this channel because it infuses life lessons and social action into creative stories," explains Jordan.

"The collaboration between creative animators and educators teaches kids about the importance of getting involved in your community, knowing what's going on in the news, in science, in the arts. There's a reason this channel has over 19 million subscribers."

16 Kid-Friendly YouTube Channels That Won't Drive Parents Crazy

Vote up the YouTube channels that are great for kids and parents alike.

Although the exact numbers vary depending on what source is used, researchers agree that there are more than 100 million YouTube channels currently active. Thousands, if not millions of those channels, actively target children . Some of these channels may be focused solely on entertaining their viewers while others may want to entertain as well as to educate. Some channels feature several areas of interest, while others may be focused on just one topic. There are channels geared towards babies, older teenagers, and everyone in between. And of course, even if the channel wants to get younger viewers, that doesn't necessarily mean that their videos are kid friendly. or if they are appropriate for kids, parents might (figuratively) lose their minds if they had to watch them.

It can be quite tricky to try and find a YouTube channel that is not only kid-friendly , but also equally enjoyable to kids and parents. Or, at least, one that the kid will enjoy that parents won't hate . So, here are several recommendations for tired adults who need something fresh to let their children watch - make sure to vote on which are the best quality to help other parents out there.

Gracie's Corner

What Does It Teach: Gracie's Corner uses animation and songs that, as one of the channels' creators told The Washington Post , "parents would find themselves bobbing their heads to versus wanting to pull their hair out" while also appealing to young children, to teach things like basic counting skills or the proper way to brush one's teeth. The videos are very cheerful and positive in tone.

Why It's A Great Channel: The Hollingsworth family launched this channel in 2020 because they were discouraged by how few Black children were seen in the existing fun, educational YouTube channels that targeted young kids (their daughter Graceyn is the model for and voices the animated Gracie). Most of the videos are generally about three to five minutes long, which is good for little kids who can quickly get bored or distracted. The animation is fun and colorful, and the videos feature a diverse range of characters, who sing and dance along to songs ranging from classic nursery rhymes to original tunes in genres such as hip-hop and reggae as they teach viewers things like letters in the alphabet .

What Does It Teach: TED-Ed promotes the idea that knowledge is power. It encourages children's curiosity, to learn more about what's going on in the world. In all areas of society, from politics to the arts. The channel also seeks to give teens and tweens a voice through series such as “Ted-Ed Weekend Student Talks” and “Student Voices from #TedTalksEd.” Depending on the subject, the videos range from serious to kooky.

Why It's A Great Channel: The channel is part of TED, the non-profit perhaps best known for its speaker series known as TED Talks. The videos, which are simple to understand and beautifully illustrated by animation and other visuals, cover a wide range of topics, which are presented in a fact- or science-based fashion. Topics that might be seen by some as controversial (such as mental health or teen pregnancy) are addressed in a way that tries to normalize them and encourage discussion. In addition to the straightforward videos, the channel also features fun puzzles and riddles. Parents should be aware that some videos address heavier topics (including historical catastrophes like the Holocoaust) which may not be suited for young children. Titania Jordan, the chief parenting officer at parental-control app Bark, has applauded Ted-Ed for trying to teach kids the importance of getting involved in their communities by infusing “life lessons and social action into creative stories." 

The Brain Scoop

What Does It Teach: The original purpose of the channel was to encourage viewers to develop an interest in natural history by showing what went on behind-the-scenes at the museums the channel's creator worked for. The host has an irreverent sense of humor, and many of the videos reflect that.

Why It's A Great Channel: The Brain Scoop debuted in 2013. It was hosted by science writer Emily Graslie , who became the first-ever  “Chief Curiosity Correspondent” for The Field Museum in Chicago a few months after launching the channel. The Brain Scoop disappeared for a time when Graslie left her job in 2020, but she re-launched it in November 2023. Graslie is a funny, engaging storyteller who attempts to take the viewer on a natural history adventure while presenting information in a way that is clear and simple enough for kids to understand.

Why It's A Great Channel: If someone wants to know whether his rear end actually touches the chair when he sits down or whether it's better to run or walk to try and avoid getting rained on , minutephysics is the place to turn. This channel, which was started in 2011 by theoretical physicist Henry Reich, explores these and other concepts by creating entertaining videos that consist mainly of whiteboard and time-lapse animation (stick figures, woo!) to explain the science behind it. The videos are short and use language simple enough for older children - or adults who don't remember anything from high school physics - to understand.

Turner has been able to combine his love for history and art into a series of informative, engaging animated videos that bring the past to life in a very entertaining way. As he explained to Forbes in 2020, "From my days in school and university years ago I remember it being difficult for my fellow students to get the image of what an event looked like," he noted. “You can read about 'soldiers in this and that battle' and a 'leader making this law' but it's more engaging seeing it visualized.” The animation is similar in style to a cartoon strip, but parents should be aware that some of the videos do include graphic images that might upset younger children.

The channel is geared to younger kids (kindergarten through 5th grade), and there is a companion website that provides more in-depth lessons, as well as fun experiments and activities for kids.

Crash Course Kids

What Does It Teach: This biweekly series focused on teaching grade-school level science. The emphasis is on discussing a different topic each video in an informative but lighthearted way. 

Why It's A Great Channel: Although no new material has been uploaded to the channel in several years, Crash Course Kids is still an informative, entertaining resource for grade-school aged kids who are curious about learning about scientific topics. The host, Sabrina Cruz, has an engaging manner and is very effective at communicating information.

She encourages the viewers to copy the yoga poses she integrates into her storytelling.

However, older kids might find her style a little too gentle.

Dude Perfect

The channel now has 60 million subscribers, and the brand has expanded into a website, touring, a TV show, additional YouTube channels, and merchandizing. It's a family-friendly channel where the friends take part in some very intense competitions, complete with some friendly trash talking. Some of the stunts they perform are quite dangerous, so adults should be aware of this so they can warn kids not to try the stunts themselves. Otherwise, there is no bad language and very little violence. The channel's creators are all strong Christians , and their faith influences all the videos they post, although it remains subtle and not in-your-face.
