Around the World

Fun and easy activities for raising global kids! Our site features a large resource of kids activities about the world. Through recipes, art, books and more explore the world with your child in your home.

We believe in the power of raising globally aware children and we make a point to allow our children to experience other cultures with food, art, crafts, music, geography, presentations, and more.  In addition to raising globally aware children, both of our families have chosen to raise our children to be bilingual speakers of another language.

Cultural Topics and Educational Activities for Kids

Here at The Educators’ Spin On It we address many cultural topics and educational activities that can be adapted to the language you speak with your child.  Although we are experts in Russian and Indian culture, we also teach our children about many other countries and languages as well.  Whether you want to learn more about our cultures to teach your children or are interested in raising bilingual kids too – we hope you are inspired!
