The Best Creative Video Classes From Maggie and Rose Life

Maggie and Rose Life is a parenting site that aims to support parents on the most inspiring (bumpy) ride they will ever undertake! Alongside regular features they have a diverse weekly Book Club which has a careful eye on encouraging self-esteem and confidence with every story they curate.

Maggie and Rose Life’s unique selling point are its creative video classes that offer parents and their kids a wide range of ‘good screen’ activities. These include imaginative play, crafting, art and author read-clouds, all of which are geared towards being creative together with your grown-up.

Maggie and Rose is definitely not insta-perfect and wouldn’t want to be. They celebrate family life in all its messy glory because if there’s one thing they know, it’s that parenting should never stop play.

They add new video classes every week, but here’s their current Top 10 video classes for you to get a taste of what they do!

And if you want to send them your ideas for their kid-created content, they would LOVE love to hear from you at editorial@maggieandrose.com.
