Cartoons that aren't overly stimulating
It's hard to find animated shows that don't make your little one start bouncing off of the walls, but these aren't too bad for us.
The main characters only say "yum," a few others say ""hum," one says "grum," Santa says "ho ho ho," and the narrator and the yeti (and the ant?) are the only characters that communicate like humans. The bumble nums go on adventures to find secret in...
The Bumble Nums
A timeless classic that isn't fast paced, and the characters don't do a ton of wild hyperactive shenanigans. Just curious domesticated monkey shenanigans.
Curious George
If you know, you know! I can't speak for the newer animation style, but our toddler seems to only prefer the older ones.
The Backyardigans
It took a minute for the little one to actually care about Bluey, but now we're all jamming to the intro! Muffin is hilarious, but we proceed with caution 'cause we do notice a difference in our toddler's behavior after she's been on screen.
Bluey
Educational shows for littles
These shows for little ones are stimulating for our toddler in ways that we can totally get down with. They're fun, but teaching kiddos along the way.
Larry the parrot had our little one saying words I didn't even expect. Through opening surprise eggs or flying over to a small pasture sprinkled with some object (you'll see), he encourages first words with playfulness and bright colors.
Word of the Day | Vocabularry for Toddlers | Word Play | BabyFirst TV
The Color Crew is one of the first shows our little one watched and loved from the jump. These crayons (occasionally accompanied by a pair of hands) teach littles their colors, about objects, and they sing songs.
Learn Colors for Kids with Color Crew Official Playlist | Magic Crayons
This toddler in a super suit will say nothing but peek a boo and play exactly that with your little in a sing song tune that little kids seem to just adore. It sends our little one into a mess of giggles.
Peek A Boo, I See You! | Learn Colors Playing Hide and Seek by Baby First TV
These two giggly babies play with instruments and the color crew, go on bite sized adventures and play with toys and other friends. It's quite slow paced, but it holds our little one's attention.
GooGoo & GaaGaa Amazing Playlist!
Handyman Hal goes on adventures and teaches your little one about some of the world around them. It's similar to Blippi/Meekah, but not nearly as fast-paced. Super catchy theme song, too.
Handyman Hal
Cowboy Jack goes on adventures and teaches kids about the world around them. It's like Blippi, and Handyman Hal, but I'd say it's at an even slower pace than the Handyman who's got a plan if not matching it. He's entertaining and seems like such a sw...
Cowboy Jack
Christian shows for little ones
This channel is music focused with lots of catchy Sunday school type songs, remixes included, to animations. In between songs, they'll go over some Bible verses and tell stories.
Listener Kids
Some of the older ones are a little harder to watch, but that's mostly due to graphic quality. Another classic; nothing like veggies going on adventures, trying to help spread the gospel with a laugh!
VeggieTales
Areo and her stuffie friends go through scenarios in God's greenhouse where they show what some verses mean through play and song. Your little one will be learning about Christ in a way that feels like playing, singing, and dancing, because that's ex...
God's Greenhouse | Bible Songs for Kids (by Minno)
Minno quite literally has it all! They have their own animated shows that teach little ones about the Bible in a very entertaining way while introducing you to other Christian creators for kids, showing some of their content as well. They also teach ...
Minno - Bible Stories for Kids
Mrs. Faith popped up on my timeline one afternoon, my toddler pointed to the apple on the thumbnail of her video, and the rest is history. She incorporates Bible verses with what she's teaching and showing to your little one, she even goes on adventu...
Creative Christian Storytime - Christian Toddler
This sweet husband and wife help introduce littles to Christ while also educating them about letters, numbers, and the world around them. They have videos over morning routines, bedtime routines, trying new foods, sharing toys, Christmas and CHRIST, ...
Chosen Kids - Christian Education & Fun
Our kiddo absolutely adores the Good News Guys, and so do we! We're even listening to them on Spotify during car rides. It's gotten to the point that (along with what we do outside of YT videos) our toddler has memorized the songs, and will randomly ...
