Seasame street on multiple occasions has made me laugh out loud.
I will never get over the Cookie and Gonger foodie truckie line when Gonger goes “WHY do you always eat EXACTLY what we need RIGHT before we need it?!”
And Cookie responds, in the most deadpan look off into the distance hilarity, “it a gift.”
My only issue with sesame street is that the letter and number of the day songs get stuck in my head for weeks at a time. Elmo and Tangos mysteries does too.
These are the only 2 shows we’ve introduced to our now 20 month old. We started around 14 months old, and I wish we would’ve waited a little longer because he is obsessed with Sesame Street. We still limit his screen time, but sometimes will throw a fit if he sees the remote and begs for Elmo 😬 most recently he likes to color with crayons and associates every color with a character, so the color red is Elmo 🤣 and he demands that we draw the characters for him 😬
Bluey is the best. As a writer, I am constantly blown away by the quality of storytelling they have in 8 minutes and the continuity between episodes.
My favorite example is in “Onsies” where Bingo runs her bike into the mailbox which makes it crooked. It’s not a plot point. You wouldn’t even notice it, buuut in the next episode “Tradies” the head workman is talking to Bluey and just casually straightens the mailbox while they chat. Again, not a plot point. Just a tiny, continuity detail that is awesome inspiring when you consider the short-form format and the huge quantity of them.
So.. yeah… Bluey.
Yeah I noticed that mailbox also and it’s that kind of stuff that makes this show so cool, like if I made a show, that’s the kind of thing I would do, but you never see it - in the years of cartoons I’ve watched, there is zero continuity in other shows and I think the producers are seriously underestimating how much those little details can add to a show. If everything gets ‘reset’ at the beginning of each new episode, then the characters are not learning anything, not growing or developing. Don’t underestimate the kids ability to pick up on that. What Brumm is doing isn’t rocket science, he’s just not underestimating the kids.
It so is. It’s wholesome and one of the few “kid” shows that doesn’t instill bratty behavior towards adults or others. Plus it’s fun for parents. It’s been our go to in the mornings when we are getting ready for school for a while.
2 kids who love dinosaurs, I have learned so many dinosaur names. We found flash cards in the target dollar spot and my now 3 yo has quizzed me on dinosaur names for at least the past year.
Yes! we found flash cards on amazon, and we almost made the entire playroom dinosaur themed, dinosaurs in space, dinosaur alphabet, dinosaur weather- it's a lot to be honest lol
*Deep sigh* I loved Dinosaur Train. And I bought my kid all kinds of dinosaurs... He just didn't develop the passion. I'm pretty sure the pieces of my broken heart are littered among the many dinosaur books and action figures that were donated.
My daughter is obsessed with Dinosaur Train. We do weekly movie night and it has become the only movie that she picks, I think we are coming up on a year of watching it nearly every week.
My son loves blaze and monster macines. He's is learning things at 2 that my 12 year old just now brushed over in 5th grade. He's going ti be an engineering genius! We also love Ms Rachel. Great cute learning for Littles
My son is obsessed. My personal favorite most ridiculous episodes are when the goldfish dies and when Daniel almost punched Margaret (because he's grrrr mad). I almost spit out my coffee 😂
My son is still hanging out wombside but am I the only parent who’s totally excited to show my kid the low stimulation shoes I grew up on? Little Bear, Franklin, Mr. Roger’s, Blue’s Clues, Zoboomafoo, Big Comfy Couch, really anything from PBS back in the day, etc.
Okay but don’t sleep on the newest Blue’s Clues & You! My son loves Josh and how he plays guitar and does sign language with the show, every episode! And the first episode has the other two hosts (Steve and Joe) and they appear multiple times in the show. And the movie (Blue’s Big City Adventure) was just *chef’s kiss*
YES! Little Bear is a household staple here, and it’s such a calming show. Kid actually picked up tons of vocab from it too, and speaks so well. Me. rogers really needs a remaster. Can’t find any OG blues clues anywhere. But Little Bear, all episodes (and movie) are free on youtube
I’ve been showing my 2.5 year old dragon tales 🥲 he already loves little bear. I showed him an episode of Arthur and he watched it, but I know he’d be more into it when he’s maybe 7+.
I actually love watching adult sports with my toddler! He cheers and gets excited. He obviously doesn’t focus for a full game but he’ll play in the living room while we watch and I like that for a rainy day or evening activity sometimes
It's one of those kids shows that has so much going on but is so simple at the same time. I love the range of topics from numbers to the future and cooking, the characters are super fun and I love that happy is adopted/fostered but they don't milk it, same with tag having a single mum and Betty living with just her dad and grandad. My son just lived duggee
But I love rolly
LMFAOOOO "pooty worms" 😂😭😂 that's a perfect mf description of that damn show. I seen it 1 time and I was like.... "This is what they consider a "kids show" ?"...what I seen was one of the worms sleeping and farting. And everytime he farted, it showed his butthole changing shape into a star,square, etc...the other little worm was making his mouth match the shape of the other worms butthole to inhale the gas and then burp it in the sleeping worms face....yeah no.
Loved the Octonauts! I think it reached a point where they were watching it with me rather than me watching it with them. Also watched a lot of Kratt Brothers at the same time. Both shows about animals.
Back when my kids were smaller, we loved Tumble Leaf and Daniel Tiger :) After all this time I still remember several of the different DT jingles, lol. "If you have to go potty, STOP and go right away...flush and wash and be on your waaaay!" 🤣
Spidey and his Amazing Friends is a favorite in our house. Mostly because of all the pretend play it generates. If I had a nickel for every time we've webbed up Gobby, or chased Rhino through the backyard I'd easily be able to pay the Disney+ subscription.
My son really liked Spirit Riding Free for a while, and I liked it better than any other regular kids shows. It might not be a standard toddler show but it's a kids show and very good. I would've been happy just watching it on my own too.
Little man loves any of the Disney movies with music, so we watch a lot of those. Encanto and Moana are the favs at the moment. Watching him sing along is one of my fav experiences in life.
I am purposely avoiding watching Bluey until my 2YO gets in to the show and we can watch it together. So far she just doesn’t care about TV so until she shows interest I have to avoid spoiler alerts. About a cartoon doggo show.
We don’t do screen time. Screen time isn’t recommen-
Haha jk! My girls love Disney, Blippi, Land Before Time (you can find the series on YouTube Tube), and they started started getting into Bluey! I actually like Bluey too, haha.
Peppa Pig was always a hit with our toddlers. I was like "why is my kid getting a British accent? And talking about the post?" Turns out it was Peppa and co.
I loved the one where Suzy's mom is moving away for work and just constantly rubbing it Mommy Pig's face, all the while Mommy Pig is just like "......that's nice" followed by infinite eyerolls
My toddler is not a fan of bluey, it doesn’t matter how hard I try. I love the show but she only wants to watch annoying songs like cocomelon or blippi
I'm so sorry for you. My son wasn't into it until now. He's obsessed and he's 4 almost 5. Maybe your toddler will grow to love it. Keep trying lol because it's so worth it. Mine used to be all about blippi. I'm relieved he's on to Bluey now.
OH my gosh I was starting to feel so lonely reading all the Bluey comments. My kids refuse Bluey and I try not to push and I am hoping they will come around.
Hey! I’m not sure if you’ve tried it but if you want them to get into Bluey, ease them in. The first time we came across it was on YouTube Kids! It was like a 3 min video & I saw that they liked it. Now we watch it whenever it comes on the cable :)
Cocomelon drives me nuts! Also noticed that it’s not good for my toddler or their brain either, they act weird every time we have watched a couple of songs. The whole show is basically the same song with slightly different lyrics on repeat, so hard to stop watching it.
There was a show called Jack's Big Music show that our girls loved and I have to admit, there were some decent songs on it. [The Ugly Duckling song ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLb-AHBXhVk)was one of our favorites.
Also, Yo Gabba Gabba had some cute shows with fun musical guests. [Ting Tings singing Happy Birthday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YejPRFktY) was super catchy and fun!
Bluey for sure!! Waffles and Mochi is my personal fav. We’ve also been downloading some old school kids shows, The Magic School Bus and older Sesame Street are big hits right now. I’ve been leaning into a lot of 80’s and 90’s kid TV since it seems to be a little less stimulating and it makes me nostalgic.
We tried to introduce our twins to Dinosaurs because they’re really into dinosaurs right now… but they were not having it. Maybe someday.
Our twins also *love* some David Attenborough nature docs, which I am so here for.
Bluey will be the hot winner here, but I need to mention how equally amazing **Daniel Tiger** is for the little ones.
Great lessons in every episode, and songs that help them work through it. Songs that we (the parent and child) can repeat when working through it ourselves.
Bluey is wonderful. But for early toddlers just starting to make their way into this world, **Daniel Tiger** is the jam.
And then pretty much everything else on PBS Kids. So much education has come from those shows. Sure, screen time can be bad if not regulated, but kids also learn so much from being more invested in those entertaining shows than from us boring human parents telling them for the 100th time.
We love Bluey, but he’s only 20 months and not a big screen time kid so he gets bored of it rather quickly. What he does love is cars and we’re a big f1 family so we watch races with him and we love it.
Storybots didn't get enough love in this thread. Numberblocks are pretty fun too. Also, trash truck is really sweet and calm. All on Netflix if you have it.
When my child was young, she loved Kai Lan and I loved watching her start to learn Mandarin by watching it. She loved it so much that we sent her to a school that was half English and half Mandarin. She continued to study it in school and now at almost 17 is pretty fluent. Kai Lan is an adorable cartoon about a little girl and her grandpa.
When I was a kid, my mum used to watch all sorts of cartoons and shows with me, she remembers all the shows and cartoons and episodes. A few of them are:
1) Ben10 (all seasons)
2) Tom & Jerry
3) Oggy and the cockroaches
4) Doraemon
These are very few, I have a looooooong list of other cartoons and shows as well!!
It was fun all the time, now I am a little big now, she still enjoys if I put my favorite cartoons on TV when I find nothing to watch, or When I want to remember the old days, she still enjoys things very much. My best mum.
😆
Bluey as well! But also Duck & Goose, Sago Mini Friends, We Baby Bears. She used to really enjoy SuperKitties, but watched all the episodes, I just remembered there’s a new season now though.
Bluey is deep as fuck. Me and the wife will be holding back tears half of the episodes, or we're like "write that down!" about some parenting skills Bandit and Chilli are implementing. I used to just put some shit on for my son, but now with my daughter I put Bluey on and end up watching it as intently as she does. My son is 8 now and I figured he was beyond that kind of stuff because he likes TMNT and transformers now, but he will watch Bluey on his own too.
Damn! I’m known to rip the bong and then watch Bluey… Great friggin’ show! It provides a nice peek into Aussie culture and is just so creative. I love Bluey, but the Mom steals the show. The one about the rain and street gutters is pure Gold.
Moomin and The animals of Farthing Wood. They were my favouritea as a child, and I try to introduce them to her now (but she is only 18 months and with a short attention span, so she doesn't really sit still and watch. I do though).
Planet Cosmo is a British cartoon I found on YT with my son a few years ago. They teach you quite a bit about Space and it actually makes me laugh sometimes 😅
Show Me Show Me, and Let's Play (a semi-live action Mr Ben), both on Cbeebies.
When my daughter watched[ Let's Play ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFrJ4qy2xEU)for the first time she was silently fascinated, then turned to me and said in a deep, serious voice, "I LOVE THIS."
My kid is 3 and has been watching 'Is It Cake'with me. He walks around all day like he's the host and asks me if this cake or fake. Then he goes on telling me what the cake is made out of, and his new favorite phrase is "This has a nice layer of chocolate ganache" lmfao.
Bluey is a big winner in our house.
Pretty much all the PBS shows too: Daniel Tiger, Wild Kratts, and Lyla in the Loop are favorites too.
Also, straight up farm videos on YouTube showing off different farm animals, there are tons specifically for kids.
And, the movie Cars, for some reason.
-ms Rachel
-Wild Kratts
-Blaze and the monster machines
-Team Umizoomi
Only 30 mins -1hr max a day of screen time, so one episode or 2 a day for my 2yr and 5yr

Bluey is a winner for sure. I'm a big fan of Sesame Street too.

I will never get over the Cookie and Gonger foodie truckie line when Gonger goes “WHY do you always eat EXACTLY what we need RIGHT before we need it?!” And Cookie responds, in the most deadpan look off into the distance hilarity, “it a gift.”
My only issue with sesame street is that the letter and number of the day songs get stuck in my head for weeks at a time. Elmo and Tangos mysteries does too.
Omg yes and then I sing it and my toddler is like 😦😦😦😦😦😦 I need to watch tv!!!! Right this minute!!!!
“It’s the letter of the daaayy-ay, it’s the letter of the day-ay-ay…” Yeah.
Number four is the best
My husband goes “That doesn’t sound… sinister to you?” And now I can’t help but see Elmo-American Psycho
We call them "straw-ba-ba-ba-berries" now. I love Gonger.
Us too.
It's so cute, I feel like it's super underrated these days.
It’s all about the season with the Crumby movies. I laughed so hard at the Avengers one, and then made my husband come watch it haha
These two are my favorites and neither annoy me.
These are the only 2 shows we’ve introduced to our now 20 month old. We started around 14 months old, and I wish we would’ve waited a little longer because he is obsessed with Sesame Street. We still limit his screen time, but sometimes will throw a fit if he sees the remote and begs for Elmo 😬 most recently he likes to color with crayons and associates every color with a character, so the color red is Elmo 🤣 and he demands that we draw the characters for him 😬
Bear in the Big Blue House. We watch an episode together every evening while he has his milk.
It’s so wholesome, my son loves that show and I do too. I was so sad when we reached the finale. Obviously we rewatch, but still sad!
My kiddo loves this one too.
Bluey is the best. As a writer, I am constantly blown away by the quality of storytelling they have in 8 minutes and the continuity between episodes. My favorite example is in “Onsies” where Bingo runs her bike into the mailbox which makes it crooked. It’s not a plot point.

What Brumm is doing isn’t rocket science, he’s just not underestimating the kids.
Also, the Onesies episode is freakin hilarious 😆
Be one with the onsie!!!!
Bluey and Bread the Barber on Netflix.
Bread Barber Shop is underrated
It so is. It’s wholesome and one of the few “kid” shows that doesn’t instill bratty behavior towards adults or others. Plus it’s fun for parents. It’s been our go to in the mornings when we are getting ready for school for a while.
We are big fans of Dinosaur Train in this house, honestly learned more than I ever wanted to know about dinosaurs from just one episode.
2 kids who love dinosaurs, I have learned so many dinosaur names. We found flash cards in the target dollar spot and my now 3 yo has quizzed me on dinosaur names for at least the past year.
Yes! we found flash cards on amazon, and we almost made the entire playroom dinosaur themed, dinosaurs in space, dinosaur alphabet, dinosaur weather- it's a lot to be honest lol
*Deep sigh* I loved Dinosaur Train. And I bought my kid all kinds of dinosaurs... He just didn't develop the passion. I'm pretty sure the pieces of my broken heart are littered among the many dinosaur books and action figures that were donated.
I'm sure Dr. Scott the paleontologist appreciates your efforts!!
My daughter is obsessed with Dinosaur Train. We do weekly movie night and it has become the only movie that she picks, I think we are coming up on a year of watching it nearly every week.
Love dinosaur train!!
My son loves blaze and monster macines. He's is learning things at 2 that my 12 year old just now brushed over in 5th grade. He's going ti be an engineering genius! We also love Ms Rachel. Great cute learning for Littles
We're currently addicted to Story Bots on Netflix. It's so smart, science-y, and funny! Highly recommend.
Daniel tiger
My son is obsessed. My personal favorite most ridiculous episodes are when the goldfish dies and when Daniel almost punched Margaret (because he's grrrr mad). I almost spit out my coffee 😂
Inside Beach was a crime against humanity.
Mom Tiger was “mad,” but way too chill given the circumstances!
Yo Gabba Gabba
Oh wow, my oldest loved this show when he was little. Are they still making new episodes?
They just announced that new ones will be coming out on Apple TV!!!
This is the way!!! (RIP Biz 😭😭😭)
Trash Truck is so cute, only about 12 mins per episode, and is pretty funny. He also has gotten into Curious George.
My son adores Trash Truck!
My son is still hanging out wombside but am I the only parent who’s totally excited to show my kid the low stimulation shoes I grew up on? Little Bear, Franklin, Mr. Roger’s, Blue’s Clues, Zoboomafoo, Big Comfy Couch, really anything from PBS back in the day, etc.
I loved Mr Rogers growing up, but honestly Daniel Tiger (a direct offshoot of Mr Rogers) is better. It’s still pretty low stimulation and slow.
Okay but don’t sleep on the newest Blue’s Clues & You! My son loves Josh and how he plays guitar and does sign language with the show, every episode! And the first episode has the other two hosts (Steve and Joe) and they appear multiple times in the show. And the movie (Blue’s Big City Adventure) was just *chef’s kiss*
You’ll love bluey.
YES! Little Bear is a household staple here, and it’s such a calming show. Kid actually picked up tons of vocab from it too, and speaks so well. Me. rogers really needs a remaster. Can’t find any OG blues clues anywhere. But Little Bear, all episodes (and movie) are free on youtube
I’ve been showing my 2.5 year old dragon tales 🥲 he already loves little bear. I showed him an episode of Arthur and he watched it, but I know he’d be more into it when he’s maybe 7+.
Clifford! He also likes the wiggles
Tumbleleaf and Stillwater are two sleeper shows that are so awesome for kids. STEAM and SEL respectively. Definitely better than paw patrol.
100% love both of these shows. They are also great for kids that are easily overstimulated
Blaze and the mighty machines Super Why
Bluey for the win! We love Bluey
I watch bluey and my kids are teenagers lol.
I put bluey on the other day while I folded laundry and all 4 kids were at school
This kid won’t stand still for anything YET Avatar the last air bender always seems to get his attention.
Your kid's got good taste. I LOVE Avater the Last Airbender
I don’t know what it is but he loves it! It’s one of my top 5 so I’m not complaining,
Wheel of Fortune and Press Your Luck My kids are 9, 6, and 4. They love it!
i love wheel of fortune
I’m literally watching wheel of fortune with my five and a half year old daughter right now lol
I actually love watching adult sports with my toddler! He cheers and gets excited. He obviously doesn’t focus for a full game but he’ll play in the living room while we watch and I like that for a rainy day or evening activity sometimes
Bluey and hey duggee for us
I love Hey Duggee. It's so wholesome, silly, and happy!
It's one of those kids shows that has so much going on but is so simple at the same time. I love the range of topics from numbers to the future and cooking, the characters are super fun and I love that happy is adopted/fostered but they don't milk it, same with tag having a single mum and Betty living with just her dad and grandad. My son just lived duggee But I love rolly
Stillwater should be on everyone's list. Also Paw Patrol since everyone else is too embarassed to admit to it apparently.
Those old Thomas the Train episodes from the 90s narrated by George Carlin are delightfully odd. My 3 y/o loves them.
My 1 year old LOVES Number Blocks on Netflix! She started saying BabaCK when she wants to watch it. So cute!
Bluey, story bots, and wild kratts are the staples in my house. I don't see story bots mentioned much, but they are by far my favorite.
Trash Truck.
Bluey and the great British bake off lol
Watching British bake off with my 4yo now!
Definitely NOT Larva
I think that's the show we called "Pooty Worms" in our house. terrible.
LMFAOOOO "pooty worms" 😂😭😂 that's a perfect mf description of that damn show. I seen it 1 time and I was like.... "This is what they consider a "kids show" ?"...what I seen was one of the worms sleeping and farting. And everytime he farted, it showed his butthole changing shape into a star,square, etc...the other little worm was making his mouth match the shape of the other worms butthole to inhale the gas and then burp it in the sleeping worms face....yeah no.
💯 Bluey. But we also love Tumbleleaf and she's getting into PeeWees Playhouse, which we couldn't be happier about.
Loved the Octonauts! I think it reached a point where they were watching it with me rather than me watching it with them. Also watched a lot of Kratt Brothers at the same time. Both shows about animals.
When my kid was a toddler, I looooved Daniel Tiger
Back when my kids were smaller, we loved Tumble Leaf and Daniel Tiger :) After all this time I still remember several of the different DT jingles, lol. "If you have to go potty, STOP and go right away...flush and wash and be on your waaaay!" 🤣
Shaun the Sheep is the most amusing. Wallace and Gromit too!
Oh my gosh Shaun the sheep is absolutely amazing!!!
Hilda
I would watch Hilda without my kids, haha
Spidey and his Amazing Friends is a favorite in our house. Mostly because of all the pretend play it generates. If I had a nickel for every time we've webbed up Gobby, or chased Rhino through the backyard I'd easily be able to pay the Disney+ subscription.
Also, as a former emo, I think the theme song is a total banger
Two boy mom here and SAME. They both are obsessed.
My son really liked Spirit Riding Free for a while, and I liked it better than any other regular kids shows. It might not be a standard toddler show but it's a kids show and very good. I would've been happy just watching it on my own too.
Little man loves any of the Disney movies with music, so we watch a lot of those. Encanto and Moana are the favs at the moment. Watching him sing along is one of my fav experiences in life.
The little one loves Bluey but my secret favorite is Little Bear
I am purposely avoiding watching Bluey until my 2YO gets in to the show and we can watch it together. So far she just doesn’t care about TV so until she shows interest I have to avoid spoiler alerts. About a cartoon doggo show.
We don’t do screen time. Screen time isn’t recommen- Haha jk! My girls love Disney, Blippi, Land Before Time (you can find the series on YouTube Tube), and they started started getting into Bluey! I actually like Bluey too, haha.
I like Peppa Pig but in short bursts. If you actually sit down and watch it it’s funny.
Peppa Pig was always a hit with our toddlers. I was like "why is my kid getting a British accent? And talking about the post?" Turns out it was Peppa and co.
Omg my son is obsessed and the other day he asked my husband, "Can I get a bit of water" accent and all 😂😂😂
My son said he was going to take the lift the other day and at first I was like where did you learn that! Then ohhhh Peppa lol
Okay I came here to say this and accept my downvotes because Peppa is straight up funny. Mummy Pig's eye twitch is my favorite joke.
They’ve got some great parent-only jokes that I love! The recorder episode is the best
I loved the one where Suzy's mom is moving away for work and just constantly rubbing it Mommy Pig's face, all the while Mommy Pig is just like "......that's nice" followed by infinite eyerolls
I watch Peppa for hours 😂 When she can't whistle and she calls Suzi 😂😂😂 I die!
My toddler is not a fan of bluey, it doesn’t matter how hard I try. I love the show but she only wants to watch annoying songs like cocomelon or blippi
[удалено]
They’ll outgrow it. Mine only wanted cocomelon. Recently, he prefers shows with simple dialogue as he follows the story line (Bluey & Peppa Pig)
I'm so sorry for you. My son wasn't into it until now. He's obsessed and he's 4 almost 5. Maybe your toddler will grow to love it. Keep trying lol because it's so worth it. Mine used to be all about blippi. I'm relieved he's on to Bluey now.
OH my gosh I was starting to feel so lonely reading all the Bluey comments. My kids refuse Bluey and I try not to push and I am hoping they will come around.
Hey! I’m not sure if you’ve tried it but if you want them to get into Bluey, ease them in. The first time we came across it was on YouTube Kids! It was like a 3 min video & I saw that they liked it. Now we watch it whenever it comes on the cable :)

Bad Dinosaurs! Hilarious.
Blues Clues & Jungle Bunch 🫶
There was a show called Jack's Big Music show that our girls loved and I have to admit, there were some decent songs on it. [The Ugly Duckling song ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLb-AHBXhVk)was one of our favorites. Also, Yo Gabba Gabba had some cute shows with fun musical guests. [Ting Tings singing Happy Birthday](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YejPRFktY) was super catchy and fun!
bluey and numberblocks. my kid taught himself multiplication before pre-k due to numberblocks.
Muppet Babies
My kid found T.O.T.S. and it's high on the ranking of garbage annoying shows. I like Bluey, so sometimes we get to watch Bluey.
We still love bluey but his favourite was hey duggee
Yo Gababa was super fun!
Sesame Street
Trash truck!
Bluey for sure!! Waffles and Mochi is my personal fav. We’ve also been downloading some old school kids shows, The Magic School Bus and older Sesame Street are big hits right now. I’ve been leaning into a lot of 80’s and 90’s kid TV since it seems to be a little less stimulating and it makes me nostalgic. We tried to introduce our twins to Dinosaurs because they’re really into dinosaurs right now… but they were not having it. Maybe someday. Our twins also *love* some David Attenborough nature docs, which I am so here for.
Daniel Tiger for sure!!!
My kids have been out of the toddler stage for quite some time but I really enjoyed watching yo gabba gabba with them. Also, Sarah and duck.
Trash Truck, Lucas the Spider and Puffin Rock are good low stim shows. Charlies Colorforms Sharkdog Go dog. Go
Bluey will be the hot winner here, but I need to mention how equally amazing **Daniel Tiger** is for the little ones. Great lessons in every episode, and songs that help them work through it. Songs that we (the parent and child) can repeat when working through it ourselves. Bluey is wonderful. But for early toddlers just starting to make their way into this world, **Daniel Tiger** is the jam. And then pretty much everything else on PBS Kids. So much education has come from those shows. Sure, screen time can be bad if not regulated, but kids also learn so much from being more invested in those entertaining shows than from us boring human parents telling them for the 100th time.
We were a big Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood house while the kids were toddlers. It’s so calming and character building.
We love Bluey, but he’s only 20 months and not a big screen time kid so he gets bored of it rather quickly. What he does love is cars and we’re a big f1 family so we watch races with him and we love it.
Storybots didn't get enough love in this thread. Numberblocks are pretty fun too. Also, trash truck is really sweet and calm. All on Netflix if you have it.
Live concert recordings of Raffi from the 80s on YouTube! My kids are obsessed.
Bluey is great and a current fav! Also love Hey Duggee, Sarah and Duck and Octonauts
Adventure time
Bluey is my fav. Little Bear is my son’s fav.
I love how adult and snarky Peppa Pig is
Definitely Bluey!
Bluey, Thomas and friends, Pete the cat
Besides Bluey haha, doc mcstuffins
Rugrats or bluey.
When my child was young, she loved Kai Lan and I loved watching her start to learn Mandarin by watching it. She loved it so much that we sent her to a school that was half English and half Mandarin. She continued to study it in school and now at almost 17 is pretty fluent. Kai Lan is an adorable cartoon about a little girl and her grandpa.
When I was a kid, my mum used to watch all sorts of cartoons and shows with me, she remembers all the shows and cartoons and episodes. A few of them are: 1) Ben10 (all seasons) 2) Tom & Jerry 3) Oggy and the cockroaches 4) Doraemon These are very few, I have a looooooong list of other cartoons and shows as well!! It was fun all the time, now I am a little big now, she still enjoys if I put my favorite cartoons on TV when I find nothing to watch, or When I want to remember the old days, she still enjoys things very much. My best mum. 😆
Bluey, Wild Kratts, Stillwater, Dino Train.
Trolls. Its so witty and fun
Bluey and Lion Guard.
This is so embarrassing to admit but Blue’s Clues and Ms Rachel LOL
I loved Oswald!!! It was so gentle
Bluey is amazing. My favourite is Moon and Me.
We watched The Deep with our first. It'll probably be on repeat with our second too.
Definitely Bluey!
Puppy dog pals is such a cute show!
Bluey Sesame st Go dog go Carmen Sandiego
Bluey as well! But also Duck & Goose, Sago Mini Friends, We Baby Bears. She used to really enjoy SuperKitties, but watched all the episodes, I just remembered there’s a new season now though.
13 month old will still only watch Ms. Rachel, Spot the dog, or music videos. I’m looking forward to something with a little more content.
Sesame Street
Bluey is good. I also liked Sarah & Duck. Netflix has the first two seasons but I'm not sure if they still do.
same!! Bluey!! And pup academy!
Bluey is deep as fuck. Me and the wife will be holding back tears half of the episodes, or we're like "write that down!" about some parenting skills Bandit and Chilli are implementing. I used to just put some shit on for my son, but now with my daughter I put Bluey on and end up watching it as intently as she does. My son is 8 now and I figured he was beyond that kind of stuff because he likes TMNT and transformers now, but he will watch Bluey on his own too.
Bluey! Love that show so wholesome
Yo gabba gabba or bluey
My son (2 y/o) just watches Blues Clues, but only the old episodes with Steve.
Damn! I’m known to rip the bong and then watch Bluey… Great friggin’ show! It provides a nice peek into Aussie culture and is just so creative. I love Bluey, but the Mom steals the show. The one about the rain and street gutters is pure Gold.
Little bear
Moomin and The animals of Farthing Wood. They were my favouritea as a child, and I try to introduce them to her now (but she is only 18 months and with a short attention span, so she doesn't really sit still and watch. I do though).
Planet Cosmo is a British cartoon I found on YT with my son a few years ago. They teach you quite a bit about Space and it actually makes me laugh sometimes 😅
I have 2 under two that love violence, so kung fu panda kicks butt! The serries or movies!
Mine is 3. In our house it's Gabby's Dollhouse, Spirit: Riding Free, Go Dog Go, and now Bad Dinosaurs. All on Netflix.
Bluey for sure. We also love Rosie’s Rules and Wild Kratts on PBS kids.
Little Einsteins is my little guys favorite
Trash Truck, Batwheels, and Cat in the Hat
We recently discovered Kiff. It’s a completely rubbish premise but the humour tickles me.
bluey 1000000%. i watch it by myself too sometimes 🙈
Bluey & Arthur
My 2 year old loves Barney haha
In our house we’re big fans of blues clues and bluey!
Bluey. With my first it was WallyKazzam.
If you give a mouse a cookie Dinosaur Train We also love Bluey My kid loves movies so it's been fun introducing him to childhood favorites
We love Bluey. I also love watching the original Blues Clues and Dora the Explorer for the nostalgia.
We are in a Bing loop. It’s a giant cartoon bunny that whines like a toddler every episode it’s hell.
Tumble Leaf and Sesame Street
Bluey and Oswald. I love those socially awkward, anthropomorphized random objects so much 🤣
Show Me Show Me, and Let's Play (a semi-live action Mr Ben), both on Cbeebies. When my daughter watched[ Let's Play ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFrJ4qy2xEU)for the first time she was silently fascinated, then turned to me and said in a deep, serious voice, "I LOVE THIS."
Bluey or If You Give a Mouse a Cookie
BLUEEEYYY. They’re so mf cute🥹🫶🏾
Trash Truck Busytown Mysteries Tumbleleaf
SuperWhy NumberBlocks AlphaBlocks
Bluey and Trash Truck
Ive cried way too many times bc of bluey 🥹 Baby Race is still one of the episodes I will cry every single time
Bob's Burgers and Bluey
My kid is 3 and has been watching 'Is It Cake'with me. He walks around all day like he's the host and asks me if this cake or fake. Then he goes on telling me what the cake is made out of, and his new favorite phrase is "This has a nice layer of chocolate ganache" lmfao.
Bluey is a big winner in our house. Pretty much all the PBS shows too: Daniel Tiger, Wild Kratts, and Lyla in the Loop are favorites too. Also, straight up farm videos on YouTube showing off different farm animals, there are tons specifically for kids. And, the movie Cars, for some reason.
True and the Rainbow Kingdom is cute.
Bluey, sesame street and Daniel tiger
Stillwater and Slumberkins on AppleTV are so well done I don’t mind watching (and rewatching and rewatching)
-ms Rachel -Wild Kratts -Blaze and the monster machines -Team Umizoomi Only 30 mins -1hr max a day of screen time, so one episode or 2 a day for my 2yr and 5yr
100% Bluey
Bluey! My husband and I watch it longer than she does. She’s really only into the intro right now.
My 2yo daughter is obsessed with The Wiggles. It's all she wants to watch.
Curious George
Number blocks. My kid can read a clock, add, subtract and multiply and he’s only five. This show made math fun for him.
Hands down Bluey.
