My son and I love having Listener Kids on in the background while we play. He dances while I sing along to the cutest praise songs.
Listener Kids
This is a great cartoon introducing your child to Jesus, the church, Catholicism, and prayer. But it also teaches them to be kind. I've actually learned a bit from it too.
