10 FREE Learning Websites for Kids

By Jennifer Schorr, Publisher of Macaroni Kid Reading March 16, 2020


The kids are off from school for at least the next couple of weeks, but there are a variety of resources available online that allow them to continue to learn about and explore the world around them right from the comfort of your own home. Just click on any of the titles below to be taken to that website.

Continue to check back, as I plan to add more websites each day! And share this with your friends who are also looking for ways to keep their kids entertained during this time when we are stuck at home. The learning and fun doesn't have to stop when you have Macaroni Kid!

Scholastic
Each day features 4 different topics to learn about, which your child can do on their own or together with a parent. Stories, videos and activities keep your kids learning and having fun while doing it.

Teach Your Monster to Read
First, your child gets to choose what their monster is going to look like, and then a game begins teaching letters and letter sounds to beginning readers.

NASA Kids Club
This website teaches kids about NASA and Space through educational games. There is also a printable coloring & activity book with a page to represent every letter of the alphabet.

Duolingo
Has your child expressed an interest in learning a foreign language? This website has a variety of languages to choose from and will help your child (or you) with lessons each day. 

Seussville
A website with lots of fun with Dr. Seuss. Watch Dr. Seuss cartoons, explore the books and characters, and play Dr. Seuss games.

Storyline Online
Your child can listen to stories read by celebrities like Annette Bening, Oprah Winfrey, and Al Gore, just to name a few.
