Early learning
Cool down with Mom Tiger’s ice pops
Sunny days call for cool treats, and Mom Tiger has you covered with a simple strawberry banana ice pop recipe!
All you need to whip up these summer snacks are bananas, strawberries and orange juice.
Invite your child to help count, measure and chop the ingredients. Next, blend it all together and pour your fruity concoction into a freezable container. You can use a muffin tin, an ice tray or popsicle molds.
Freeze your pops for a few hours and enjoy! Head to the PBS KIDS for Parents website for the full recipe.
Play PBS KIDS games anywhere
Game apps can be lifesavers on rainy days and road trips, but it can be hard to find apps that are safe, fun and free to use. Fortunately, there’s the Play PBS KIDS Games app!
The app comes with tons of engaging, educational games featuring your favorite PBS KIDS characters. Make crafts with Molly, rescue animals with the Wild Kratts, take a trolley ride with Daniel and more.
The Play PBS KIDS Games app is always free – and there are no sneaky in-app purchases to worry about. Find it in your app store today.
Middle grade
Dive into The Legend of the Lost Emerald

Meet real Wisconsin scientists
For kids interested in anything from lasers to agriculture to art, Meet the Lab will show them how research happening in Wisconsin is helping address real-world issues. The series highlights ways science touches our everyday lives, from the colors used on maps to sustainable farming practices.
