Inspirational Videos to Watch With Your Kids

My son and I have been enjoying The Kid Should See This curated videos. We picked out four of our favorites after watching several dozen.

What do we have today?

• Bach played like you’ve never heard it — by whacking plastic tubes
• The Guinness World Record for the largest popsicle stick chain reaction
• Freeline skate tricks on the streets of Taipei
• A car built of Legos that runs on air? Is that possible? Yes!

We hope you enjoy them too!
