❤️ What’s Happening Inside My Heart? Valentine’s Day is coming up, and that means hearts are everywhere! 💕
But… have you ever wondered what a real heart actually looks like—and what it really does? In this episode of What’s Happening Inside Me?, Audra is joined by Sloane and new co-host Ransom to talk all about the human heart. Together, they discover that real hearts don’t look like Valentine’s candy hearts at all—and that the heart is actually a pretty amazing double-pump machine! Using fun comparisons like stomp rockets and Hot Wheels tracks, kids learn how the heart pumps blood all around the body and why it has a right side and a left side that don’t mix. This episode focuses on big ideas made simple—perfect for curious kids and the grown-ups learning alongside them.
