Synopsis: Cosmic Kids is a yoga and mindfulness app for kids.
Price and Platform: Free trial. Apple and Android.
RDN Score: 4/5
Pros
Colorful and cheerful space that welcomes kids with a fun atmosphere.
Activities are led by a spirited yoga teacher who cheerfully engages kids throughout each 15-minute lesson.
Includes meditations to help kids relax, calm down or get focused.
Users can explore thumbnails and video descriptions before starting a subscription (but cannot access the content).
Includes fun and engaging meditations and yoga sessions, such as the popular “10 minutes to bed” session and the more active Calypso the Flamingo yoga adventure.
Offers more than 50 yoga adventures including some set to “Frozen,” “Star Wars” and “Moana” themes.
Kids can partake in hours of mindfulness and guided relaxation sessions in the Zen Den and up their yoga skills using Cosmic Kids’ Yoga Pose universe clips, stories and songs.
Includes explanations for each yoga pose.
Cons
Must subscribe using an auto-renewing subscription plan in order to get the 14-day free trial — meaning you have to be sure to cancel the subscription to avoid being charged.
Similar content can be accessed on the popular Youtube channel under the same name. So the $64.99 per year price tag may not be worth it for some.
Bottom Line: Cosmic Kids is a bright and cheerful app that’s ideal for kids who need an outlet or fun way to improve balance, focus and awareness.
