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!

If your kid is a fan of the Llama Llama books, they will love the show. This reminds me of the shows we watched as kids. It’s fairly calm and nothing too distressing happens.

How could I make this list without including our queen, Ms. Rachel? My toddler loves all of the songs and sings them after the show is off.
