The popular PBS Kids website Peep and the Big Wide World is now available in Spanish.
Peep and the Big Wide World offers a great collection of online games, videos, and offline activities designed to help pre-K and elementary school students learn and develop math and science skills. The online games cover skills like pattern recognition, color and shape recognition, distances, and counting.
The educators and families sections of Peep and the Big Wide World offer great activities designed to extend the science and lessons provided in the Peep and the Big Wide World videos. When you’re on the video page you will notice that there is a suggested Anywhere Activity listed with each video.
In addition to the browser-based activities Peep and the Big Wide World offers nine free iPad apps and Android apps for students. The apps offered are very similar to the games provided in the browser-based version of Peep and the Big Wide World. Unfortunately, the apps are not bilingual.
