If you believe in no screen time, this is not the place for you!

If there is anyone still left, what are some less annoying and slightly more educational shows I can dvr? I've only heard parents saying how obnoxious calliou and spongebob are, but not of his suggestions.

DD is 4 and loves Daniel Tiger. He's annoying but man she learns a good lesson on each show and actually remembers them!

I don't know if they are better but they give a little down time for me to walk away so I don't need to see the annoying.

We can get DD1 to do almost anything if we say that Daniel said she should. (Even if he really didn't!) Daniel Tiger is #1 in our house.

We love Word World and SuperWhy here. Dinosaur Train and Curious George are other big hits I'm fine with.

DD loves Calliou and I let her watch. I think he's a whiney little snot because I can't stand his voice but there's nothing wrong with the show really in my eyes so I give up.

She also loves Max and Ruby which is fine...just dreadfully boring.

DD1 loved Curious George for a whole and I enjoyed watching it too. She did learn from it, I thought. Now she's on a Peppa pig kick and I find it terribly boring. Also, she learned the word boring from Peppa, so I'm annoyed by that too

Super Why is good too. Wild Kratts seems good, but for 4-5 year olds.

Super, super boring, but my kid thinks it's amazing and it's absolutely why she knows her letters, letter sounds and other pre reading skills.

My kid learned about Kandinsky from Little Einsteins. He told me he just loves " Hamdinkskis" Circles

It tooke like 2 day to figure out what he was talking about. I thought he meant like ham rollups!

Lately all he's watching is a few movies, and of those he loves the old Richard Scarry ones the best. Educational and have cute songs that he sings along with.

DDs favorites are Sesame Street (it's my favorite kid show so yay, it's generally funny and clever plus not animated), super why, Dora (the map show, as she calls it), and Mickey Mouse clubhouse. I think the first two are the most well done. Gotta remember to support bps this year with our giving...
