We all know that a little child is always going to be fascinated by moving figures, especially if those moving figures have songs and music coming from them. My child is no exception to that. Since he was 3 months old he's been obsessed with the intro to the Smurfs on Netflix. Even though he didn't watch the show, he loved the sound of the music.
I've read some really gnarly things about how addictive Cocomelon is, and I try to ensure my little one avoids it as much as possible. As young as he is, he has a limited amount of screen time, because I know that watching any screens at his age can be unhealthy. But here are a few shows I allow my little one to watch during his limited amount of screen time.
So here are a few shows I recommend for little kiddies to watch that's kept my son entertained.
Disclaimer: most of these will be music-related because my son loves musical shows!
1. Loo Loo Kids: Johnny and Friend musical adventures (Netflix)
My son only recently started watching this and it's very adorable. He enjoys the dancing numbers and the classic nursery rhymes, like Old Mcdonald and Wheels on the Bus. This is one of his on-the-go shows that I have downloaded on my phone so he hasn't watched it very often but it's a good and cute little show for toddlers.
2. PJ masks (Netflix and Disney +)
This one is also a very recent one, which my son is also completely obsessed with. He loves how bouncy and quick it is. He hasn't watched much of the show itself but sometimes he sits through a few minutes of an episode and watches before he gets bored of it. I'd recommend it for older kids who enjoy watching superhero shows that also teach a cute little lesson.
3. Disney Junior Music Nursery Rhymes and Lullabies (Disney Plus)
Disney Plus doesn't have a large selection of shows for 1 year olds but my son is absolutely obsessed with these two. He enjoys the familiar nursery rhymes sung by different characters with a unique and fun twist, and regularly falls asleep to the lullabies. Although this doesn't have many interactive or teaching moments, it's still good for the little ones who enjoy tunes with their characters.
4. Word Party (Netflix)
This is my son's favourite show to watch on Netflix, he becomes absolutely invested and can never help but dance to the music. He has also learned a few gestures from the show, which I find quite impressive. The best thing about Word Party to me is that it's teaching my son to play well with other kids his age. He loves sharing and playing with my baby cousin that's his age and they love watching this show together.
5. Songs for Littles/ Ms Rachel (YouTube)
Out of all of these shows that my son adores, Ms Rachel has to be his favourite hands down. This show is the best discovery I've ever made. He loves the music, naturally, but he's also learned so much from Ms Rachel. From how to clap his hands to saying mama and dada. Ms Rachel will always be something I highly recommend to parents who want to put a show on for their children that could teach them things. I adore how some of their songs seem like it's properly thought out and that it's written by Rachel and her husband. It's quite frankly one of the best shows for little ones.
I could ramble on and on regarding the shows I recommend, but these are the ones my son is currently liking. I hope this helped any parents looking for some new suggestions as to what to put on for their kids while they run to the bathroom or kitchen. And as always:
Live. Love. Grow.
