Podcasts just for kids. Perfect for school holiday car trips, camping, bedtimes, quiet times, giggle times and everything in between! These are great if the kids need a bit of downtime, or you need a few minutes for yourself.
From a hilarious podcast about the human body, a detective series that investigates killer butterflies and glow worms, to art-curious kids who investigate what freaky snakes have to do with art, an age-appropriate news podcast, Dads reading fabulous books and The Beanies learning how teeny tiny spiders learn to be brave – check out this great list of podcasts available from LiSTNR
The award-winning Busy Bodies with Mr Snotbottom is a hilarious podcast all about the human body! Hosted by the famed children’s entertainer and comedian, Mr Snotbottom, each episode focuses on a part of the human body, from the brain (did you know the human brain is more powerful than any computer ever invented!!), to the heart (it’s about the same size as your fist BTW), to bones (yep, all 206 of them). It even explores kids’ emotions – one very special episode is all about YIKES …. anxiety! The new series is called Healthy Habits and is the perfect (and funny) way to engage kids.
The Fact Detectives – LiSTNR Podcasts
Meet two curious kids on a mission to find out all the cool facts about, well, EVERYTHING! In this award-winning podcast, hosts Anika and Esther take their very big questions to some very smart grown-ups who know lots of very interesting stuff… like, do killer butterflies really exist? Why do we fart? Did monster kangaroos really hop all over Australia? Is it ladybirds, ladybugs or ladybeetles? What’s the difference between a glow-worm and a firefly, and where does light come from?
PS – parents, carers and teachers everywhere are also hooked on this one!
Morning Kids – LiSTNR Podcasts
This daily five-minute podcast dips a toe into the world of news in an age-appropriate way, with the goal to contextualise life for little ones, from gently explaining something they may have heard in the news, to what feelings are and why they may be experiencing them. One morning the episode talked about whether all animals have belly buttons and raining worms, and the next day looked at how students in Victoria are wearing special backpacks to measure the air! Created in partnership with Australian primary school teachers, Morning Kids is designed to give five-to seven-year-olds a safe listening space each weekday, whether in the car or around the breakfast table.
The award-winning LiSTNR podcasters and ABC Kids stars, The Beanies, bring a combination of joy, song and education wrapped up in glorious rainbow! Each week, Laura, Mim and Michael share a special new episode – it may be a fun and silly adventure, or a Show and Tell. They’ve met a teeny tiny spider who learns how to be brave; visited the super hero training Academy; met a very royal puppy, and found out how unicorns get their horns! They also welcome questions from little podcast listeners!
PLUS – they have just released seven brand new bedtime routines to help young listeners transition from playtime to sleepy time – called Beanies Dreamies. Listen here:

As the warmer weather is approaching and we are able to enjoy our parks and beaches again I want to explore two of my favourite things…art and mindfulness! We can create art anywhere! It is such a great medium to allow us to be ‘present’ or ‘in the moment’ as we are thinking and concentrating on creating, allowing the pace of the world to just slow down. So welcome to the first part of Mindfulness in Art! Nature Mandalas A Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning ‘Circle’ and represents harmony and balance. Nature mandalas can be made anywhere, with anything! I was lucky enough to spend some time on the beautiful Kangaroo Island in the holidays and collected shells and plants with my boys to create mandalas on the beach. You need to start at the centre and place your collections in a pattern, from the middle and working out to the sides. As my canvas was huge (the whole beach) I just needed to decide when it looked balanced and in harmony. During this quiet time, we were also able to observe (due to the silent time) a pair of nesting oyster catchers quietly going about their business…
