We have so much fun with CuriosityStream over here, you guys. I know I gush about this resource all the time, but it is with good reason!

My children love CuriosityStream’s content. Better yet? I love the content! (I've been known to watch a documentary after the kids are in bed!)

Every single program is highly educational.

​

There are no commercials.

Oodles of episodes are available for free, plus there is also a free trial. (More on that in a minute, so keep reading!)

As a subscriber, I get all of this content – with new titles added all the time- for only $2.99 a month. 

​

(That’s less than the cost of one of those fancy coffee beverages we all adore!)

CuriosityStream is the home of award-winning documentaries. You can educate, inspire, and entertain your family whenever and wherever you want. 

You can watch CuriosityStream on mobile, tablet, computer, and TV.

CuriosityStream delivers over 2,000+ titles, including high-quality documentaries and series created by the world’s most accomplished producers.  

There are absolutely no commitments. You can cancel anytime.

And plans start at just $2.99 per month or $19.99 per year... after a 7-day free trial.

I discovered CuriosityStream several years ago and once my free trial elapsed, I happily signed up for the membership at only $2.99 per month. 

​

For me, it was a no-brainer. The value is absolutely incredible!

CuriosityStream is a resource we use all the time and across various subjects. It is something I rely on for unit studies, lazy unit studies, rabbit trails, cruddy weather days, under-the-weather days, and just-for-fun.

I recommend it all the time to homeschool and public school friends.

It is one of my top five go-to homeschool resources, hands-down.

CuriosityStream has 18 of its most popular episodes available online for free. No sign-up required!

In addition to these eighteen free shows, CuriosityStream offers a 7-day free trial.

That means you can watch eighteen incredible documentaries and then sign up for more free content!

I know there are several options available for video streaming, including some big name favorites.

The problem I run into is this…

​

I’ll head to one of those big name video services, and my kids will immediately see something shiny and completely non-educational (I am looking at you Boss Baby!)… and then they don’t want to watch the educational programming. 

​

(And my kids LOVE documentaries!)

But with CuriosityStr​​​​eam, everything is educational. 

​

It’s a treasure-trove of documentaries, without the distraction of commercials or less-educational programming. And unlike YouTube, there is no need to worry about your children stumbling into the danger zone. (Kara always says, "When you're on YouTube, you're only three clicks away from a tush!")

​

I digress...

Do you want to hear my kiddos talk about what they love about CuriosityStream? 

I have a video for you!

The sale mentioned in this video has ended, and there is obviously no "swipe up" feature here in a blog post, but the content in the video is GOLD because it's my kiddos explaining what they love about CuriosityStream.

Lately, I have received a lot of e-mails and DMs about CuriosityStream. Everyone wants to know the documentaries we have loved. Now, because we have loved CuriosityStream for years, it's impossible for me to recall all of the documentaries we have loved.  

I decided it might be helpful to create a living list of recommendations- one that I add to regularly!

I'm starting fresh. We are listing many of the documentaries we have enjoyed recently, and we will add to this list throughout the year!

If you have a documentary you have adored, please feel free to share it with us! We are always looking to add to our watchlist!
