Der Workshop zu digitaler Logik in Minecraft war ebenfalls…

While homework and school routines take priority, extracurriculars play a big role in shaping learning outcomes too. That’s where MakerKids comes in.

But what if boredom isn’t something to avoid—but something to embrace?

Remember When Cartoons Didn’t Move a Mile a Minute? Your Kids Might Need That Too.

At MakerKids, we work with thousands of families each year—and one trend that keeps popping up among parents trying to improve their child’s behavior and screen time habits? A return to the cartoons of the 1990s and early 2000s. Think Arthur, Blue’s Clues, Franklin, and Magic School Bus. These shows might seem “old-school,” but for today’s kids, they might actually be a better fit than you think.
