A what?
You know, a solar eclipse. The thing where the sun is blotted out by a giant monster from outer space? Wait, that's not what happens? Guess I better start learning some astronomy.
My kids' favorite resources are these videos from Mystery Doug, a series of short videos that answer kids' science questions. You can subscribe to get one in your email every week for free. The direct links to the ones about the eclipse are:
What's the big deal about the Solar Eclipse?
How dangerous is it to look directly at the sun?
We also liked this video from the Sci Show kids channel on Youtube
We also read this book:
It was cute and had a long section on eclipses. My kids can only handle a non fiction book without a narrative element for so long though.
Enjoy the eclipse, and don't forget your eclipse glasses or your pinhole projector!
