Rising Star
Honestly, at that age, I would be focused on getting outside with them and doing whatever. If it’s raining you can read, or play silly inside games.
Kids remember every time you were physically present and engaging at a visceral level. You can shift into more academics as they get older or you see a need, but I’d rather be playing catch, or shooting baskets, or playing some crazy football/rugby remix, or ice skating, or whatever until then. Young kids learn by doing and playing.
There is also alphablocks (made by BBC but not on Netflix) - good for learning letters and sounds, BUT only if you’re okay with your kid having a British accent!
So far we have been doing outdoor stuff like soccer, playground, etc. Want to start something indoor/teaching. Of course not some tough curriculum but a fun way to learn. At this point, older one says boring for reading and math. So want to get that feeling out and say it's fun to learn
Numberblocks on Netflix and a set of magnetic cubes. My 5 year old can count to over 1000, add two digit numbers, knows 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 multiplication tables, and what it means to square and cube a number. His love of numbers started with this TV series produced by the BBC. Episodes are ~6 mins each starting with 1-10 then getting into more ‘complex’ topics. His KG teacher has struggled to find the right level for him (sending him home with second and fifth grade math exercises to do).
He also likes these (but they aren’t as easy to fit together and move around as the magnet ones - would wait to see if they like the show before buying them): https://www.amazon.com/hand2mind-Numberblocks-Activities-NumberBlocks-Homeschool/dp/B08ZR65PLQ/ref=asc_df_B08ZR65PLQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=507744456713&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2768942068045025234&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9005103&hvtargid=pla-1328340476558&psc=1
