We all need a little screen time now and then. These are the shows I let my toddler watch. These shows are fairly slow and calm. They do not have bright flashing colors or quick scene changes. I don’t mind watching these shows with my toddler!
A darling show about a fox and his friends. Slow paced and great music and visuals.
