Every half term and holiday, I produce an action-packed guide to getting out there and making the most out of London for kids (February half term guide out TODAY). The truth is, while I love stomping around the city with my Babes about Town, we also enjoy hunkering down for a few duvet and pyjama days in front of the box. I’ve been a member of Amazon Prime for a couple of years now. Aside from how much easier it is to shop for gifts, groceries, books and other products, I like browsing for what to watch on Amazon Prime Video instant streaming.
Amazon Prime Video offers a fantastic line-up of programmes for all ages, from their Amazon Originals to popular movies and box sets. The best part is that you can try it FREE for 30 days, no obligations, although it’s a fair bet that like us you’ll want to carry on your subscription for longer (it’s only £5.99 monthly). Amazon Prime Video provides unlimited streaming of films and TV shows anywhere, anytime to all your devices including TV, laptop/computer, tablets, mobile phones, Xbox etc.
Santa gave the kids their own Kindle Fire tablets a couple of Christmases ago, allowing Jed to binge on Pokemon everybody to choose their own content and saving endless squabbles over what to watch on Amazon Prime Video. Scroll down to find out how you can win a Fire Kids Edition worth £99.99 for your own child, a lovely gift from Amazon!
The Amazon Prime Video Half Term Content for Kids this February includes some of our favourite children’s films, as featured in our Top 150 Family Films of all time.
