Choose Your Kids’ Content Type
Before making a video, decide what kind of children’s content you want to produce. Each type has its own tools and style.
Popular Types of Kids’ YouTube Content:
-
Educational videos – alphabets, colors, numbers, animals, shapes, fruits, etc.
-
Storytelling or fairy tales – simple animations or voice-over stories.
-
Rhymes and songs – classic nursery rhymes or your own creations.
-
Moral lessons or good habits – teaching values in a fun way.
-
Cartoon animation – characters and simple stories.
-
Drawing and coloring tutorials – easy art for children.
For beginners, start with simple educational videos (like “Learn Colors with Fruits” or “ABC Song for Kids”).
Write a Simple Script or Plan
Before recording or animating, plan what your video will show.
Example:
Topic: Learn Colors with Balloons
Script:
-
Intro: “Hello kids! Today we will learn colors with balloons!”
-
Show different balloons and say each color name.
-
Ending: “Good job! Now you know all the colors!”
Keep it short 1 to 3 minutes is best for children’s videos.
