Last Week: Kids Global Music
Get into the world groove with The Children’s Hour as we explore global music for kids. We hear some radio debuts of songs that teach, inspire, and entertain, performed by musicians from around the world. We hear from bands on every continent (except Antarctica!) singing in multiple languages and playing a wide variety of instruments. Join us for a musical exploration of world music for kids!
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.
