Little ones in the UAE can dance, sing and learn how to read and write if they give these videos a watch. (We aren’t talking about watching Dan TDM play Minecraft or the Disney Collectorbr unwrapping surprise toys…)
You can even download YouTube Kids to ensure that your children are watching age appropriate content.
