This Week: Ballooning

This time on Children’s Hour get blown away with us as we learn all about balloons. From the history of hot air balloons to latex balloon art and clothing, balloons serve many purposes. We also learn about releasing helium balloons and which balloon releases serve science. All of this is mixed with great music! We get up, up, and away on this ballooning edition of The Children’s Hour.

Next Week: Gun Safety

How can kids stay safe around guns? We explore gun safety on this episode of The Children’s Hour with Miranda Viscoli from New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, in a conversation with our Kids Crew. Guns are the number one killer of children in America today, but with some simple safety tips, we can help kids stay safe. Learn the lessons families who hunt teach their children, and what we can all do to prevent gun violence.
