Netflix makes 10 of its documentaries free on YouTube, with educational resources for teachers

It's the little things that can make the hard times just a bit easier. And today Netflix has done that by taking 10 of its documentaries and making them available for free, on YouTube.

The idea is to give parents and teachers a hand in helping educate kids while everyone's stuck at home — even if they don't have a Netflix subscription.

Netflix has educational material to go along with the docs, which you can find here .

Here's a look the documentaries Netflix has made available:

• Abstract: The Art of Design: Go inside the minds of some of the world's greatest designers.
• Babies: This doc looks at the first three years of a child's life, and was filmed accordingly, getting the kids in front of the camera for that long. Some 15 families are profiled.

• Explained: This is the explainer series from Vox that goes deep on a huge range of culturally significant content.

• Our Planet: Narrarted by Sir David Attenborough, this is a beautiful look at our world from the award-winning creators behind Planet Earth , as part of four-year partnership with the World Wildlife Fund.
• Period. End of Sentence.: No, it's not just punctuation. This short from Rayka Zehtabchi tells of the fight for basic hygiene services in a rural village outside Delhi, India.
• The White Helmets: Watch how volunteer rescue workers put their lives on the line in Aleppo, Syria, and in Turkey in early 2016.
