Moms and dads need entertainment and these posts, for one reason or another will do just that
Have you heard the one about one of the best original all age graphic novels of the year that starts out with a tragic death? That set up doesn’t seem like the sort of graphic novel magic, but it really works here. Time Shifters is the story of a pre-teen boy named Luke who joins forces with a robot Abraham Lincoln, dinosaur, a sarcastic ghost and a dinosaur.

Sometimes it’s tricky to forecast what books your children will enjoy. When we received What George Forgot , a children’s book by Kathy Wolff I didn’t think that our 5 year old would be interested in it. However, he sauntered over to my desk and grabbed that book for us to read to him. That is worth noting because he never does that and usually relies on his staple books beside his bed. Yet, that night (and many times since then) he’s chosen What George Forgot as his good-night book.

Have you seen Cars 3 yet? If so then you know there are a couple, gentle curves to the story of Lightning McQueen, Radiator Springs and the handful of new cars that are introduced to audiences. The film is also solidly entertaining and the very rare G-rated movie that the whole family can enjoy. Cars 3: Driven to Win is the video game companion piece for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment systems, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch™ and Wii U™ that takes the plot from the movie and extends it to your game console.
This is a sponsored post-all thoughts are our own. Do you remember all of those toilet paper rolls that were sent to the offices of National Geographic Kids in the spring? The rolls have been tallied, glued and taped to create the World’s Largest Toilet Paper Roll Sculpture. It’s in the shape of a rocket and was put together in Washington D.C. at the offices of National Geographic Kids.

We’re part of the Stream Team for Netflix and were compensated for this post. The end of a school year means the kids are home more. Even if you have summer camps and family vacations planned the kids will still be in front of the television more. This means that you’ve got to be careful what they watch, especially if your family is like ours and cut the cord. Relying on Netflix for your home entertainment options can still be educational for kids during the summer. Here are six cool options that are great for kids as young as two.
Octonauts
What’s the Midnight Zone? Our children saw that episode on Netflix more than four years ago and can still tell us marine trivia. Sure, The Octonauts are just an animated show, but it immediately attracts children who are two years old and up. It’s filled with fun characters and much more education than you realize. Case in point: the midnight zone, it’s the really deep part of the ocean where those shy, colorful creatures hang out.
BBC
A quick search of some BBC options on Netflix reveal Bob the Builder, Angelina Ballerina, Octonauts (!) and Sarah and Duck, but also dozens of fabulous nature documentaries. Those documentaries will be rated G or PG and have the trademark BBC quality that adults know and seek out. From sharks, wolves, planets, continents and weird animals there’s a BBC documentary that will suit your child (or you!).

So, you’re on vacation at Hilton Head Island and want to do something with the kids other than go to the beach? Ask anybody at your hotel or the kiosk at Coligny Plaza and the Pirates of Hilton Head Island will always pop up. Pirates of Hilton Head departs from Sea Pines, located on the south end of the island.
Once you arrive at Harbor Town just walk down to the marina and find The Black Dagger. It’s a large black ship with red and yellow accents and flying the Jolly Roger flag. It is a real pirate ship and the experience that you’re about to go on will enthrall children 10 and younger.

Lincoln Loud, you are forgiven. Heretofore, the only episodes that I’ve seen of The Loud House were on YouTube. Unfortunately those episodes are presented with incorrect aspect ratios, bad audio and at a speed just above normal. Our son would come back home (from someone that had cable) and watch The Loud House. It’s the story of a well meaning 11 year old boy, his ten sisters and his best friend. The Loud House, Welcome to the Loud House, Season 1, Volume 1 is available on DVD on May 23.
