Kids Who Blog | Reading Rockets
By: Reading Rockets
Writing for an audience gives kids a reason to use their developing reading and writing skills. Here are some tips to get you and your child started with free, safe blogging sites.
As the parent of a young child, you may think your child is too young to have his or her own blog. Here's your chance to reconsider that idea! There are several free blog sites that make it as easy as 1-2-3 to get started. And writing for an audience gives kids a meaningful purpose — a reason to use their developing reading and writing skills. In constructing a blog post, your child will have to think about writing clearly and completely, and holding a reader's interest for the whole time. If an online blog feels like too much, start with a special journal or notebook.
Step 1: Have a talk about Internet safety
Writing for an online audience is fun and exciting! It should also be done with caution. Talk with your child about who will have access to the blog, and make decisions about using full names, locations, and school name.
Step 2: Choose an online blog site
WordPress, Blogger and Edublogs are all free and easy to use. Parents create an account for their child to use, and accounts can be restricted during set up.
Step 3: Start writing!
The ideas for blog posts are endless. Here are a few suggestions to get a child started:
- What hobbies do you have? Share a picture of any collections you have or tell your readers how you got interested in that hobby.
- What's the best book you've read lately? What did you like about it?
- Post a picture you've taken recently and tell about it.
- Describe your favorite thing to have for dinner.
- List all the ways you can think of to earn money around the house.
Blogging may not be for every child, but it might be for yours! While some kid blogs have many followers and have lasted a long time, most are read by relatives and friends, and a child's interest in posting may come and go. Regardless, blogs can provide an outlet for creative and fun writing!
Interested in reading what kids are blogging about? Here are a few kid blogs to check out:
- National Geographic Kids Kids from all over the world write posts for this blog.
Many posts provide kids-eye view into events and places. Other posts review books. - Childtastic books "Great books for great readers" This blog is co-written by a Mother-Daughter blogging team. They blog about children's books with each providing her own perspective on it.

Children:
POCOYO
The channel teaches English in a playful way to children of preschool or primary school age. The characters of short animated videos explain to small viewers the names of certain objects. Despite the fact that the characters communicate only in English, the child will intuitively understand what is at stake. Thanks to this, the blog trains listening comprehension of English and promotes the assimilation of simple vocabulary. For example, one of the videos not only teaches the English names of geometric shapes, but also explains in which objects around us we can see a square, a circle or a triangle.

Kapuki Kanuki
Channel host Masha Kapuki, together with her toy assistants, teaches preschool children the alphabet, counting, reading, drawing, creative activities and simply talks about the objects and phenomena around the child. For example, in one of the latest videos, she explains in a playful way what fruits are. Having harvested, the presenter prepares jam, describing in detail the whole process.
R&D
A channel for whys, which will be interesting not only for children, but also for their parents. Its authors in an animated form answer the questions that schoolchildren and adults have in everyday life: is it possible to improve memory, why are people afraid of spiders, and why do we need an appendix? In one of the videos, the authors of the channel explain what turbulence is and why you should not be afraid of it.
Atmospheric air is constantly moving randomly, forming whirlwinds of different speeds and scales. The structural strength of the aircraft is sufficient to withstand elemental whirlwinds and strong air currents, so there is no reason to panic during turbulence. nine0003
Young Alchemist
This channel is suitable for fans of unusual experiments and experiences. Its authors teach viewers of primary school age and teenagers how to make plastic key rings, create 3D holograms or grow salt crystals. In addition, videos with various experiments are periodically released here. For example, the chemical reaction of soda and powdered sugar under the influence of fire, the birth of a rainbow with a disk, or the creation of an air hockey effect. nine0003
Homemade Crafts
For those who prefer more standard crafts, the Homemade Crafts channel is suitable for primary school age.
Its authors show how to make a three-dimensional snowflake out of a cardboard sleeve, an appliqué out of rice, a 3D constructor out of plasticine and toothpicks, and much more.
Parents:
@ op _ pop _ art
The blog of the art critic Anastasia Postrigay is able to interest not only children and their parents, but also everyone who is interested in art. She talks about painting and sculpture in simple language and helps parents get their kids interested. For example, in one of the posts, Anastasia describes the day of court ladies in the Rococo era: how much time they spent on a bath, what the outfit consisted of, why the reception of guests played an important role, etc.

If you want to introduce your child to music, Alina Sergienko's blog can be of help. Like the previous account, she talks about classical music in an accessible language, compiles a selection of songs for listening every month and gives advice to parents on how to open the world of music to their child. For example, Alina recommends that parents purchase "Listening to Music" workbooks, which introduce the child to classical music in a playful way. Tasks include creating a comic strip based on a Schubert song, drawing up a musical portrait of a friend, as well as other games and quizzes. nine0003

Natalya Yusupova answers this question in her blog. She shares ideas for fun activities that include fun games, crafts, puzzle solving, and more. So, in one of the last posts, Natalia showed how you can create a filmstrip yourself using a cardboard box and a sleeve.

@dipeshkova
Diana Peshkova's blog, which she maintains with her son Artyom, has a similar theme. Together they test out unusual craft ideas and experiments that will intrigue elementary school children. For example, they draw with thread, construct a snowman from soda, or create a non-Newtonian fluid. With a quick and sharp squeeze, it becomes like a stone, but with a slow impact, it is similar in physical properties to an ordinary liquid. nine0003
