YouTube for Kids App

Do you love the wide array of content available on YouTube, but wish it could be filtered for younger children?  

Check out the new YouTube for Kids app for Android and IOS, which incorporates family-friendly content and parental controls.

YouTube Kids App
"The app makes it safer and easier for children to find videos on topics they want to explore, and is available for free on Google Play and the App Store in the U.S.," Shimrit Ben-Yair, YouTube Kids Group Product Manager, wrote in a blog post.

Not only does the app safer for kids, but it's navigation is easier for little hands.  With the app, kids will experience larger images, bold icons and more.  There is even a voice search so that even if your child can't spell or type, they can still find videos and other content.
