The Best Educational YouTube Channels for Toddlers

Yes, CoComelon made the list… but so did Ms. Rachel!

While research indicates that infants and toddlers under 18 months shouldn’t have any screen time, for most parents, especially working parents, that isn’t a reality. Our advice? Ditch the parenting guilt and focus on quality when it comes to screen time. Our list of the best YouTube channels for toddlers highlights those that engage and entertain with fun and educational content (zero unboxing to be found). These channels challenge little minds and also encourage moving little bodies, so, when you do need to utilize a screen, here’s what your toddler should be watching.

The Snack Town All-Stars


Videos From Tinybeans

Join in on the fun with Banana, Apple, Orange, and, Grape. These animated healthy snacks sing fun songs about eating good foods and there are even soothing lullabies for naptime. One of the most popular videos is Stay Healthy Shake, which encourages kids to get up and move. We love this for the times when you need a quick 15 minutes.

Blippi

With his orange glasses, suspenders, and bowtie, Blippi has taken the toddler world by storm. His educational content teaches young kids about everything from colors to numbers. Blippi’s whimsical and exaggerated mannerisms and the simple-to-follow lessons are brought to life with age-appropriate props and backgrounds. This not only appeals to toddlers but also keeps them engaged and entertained while they are learning.

PBS Kids

With live streams of many PBS kid shows like SUPER WHY, Daniel Tiger, and Rosie’s Rules, the PBS Kids YouTube channel offers educational and engaging content for toddlers. There are also full episodes of the new PBS show Work It Out Wombats, which focuses on computational thinking. The show focuses on three main characters who also happen to be wombat siblings navigating an apartment complex and solving problems along the way.

Sesame Street

This YouTube channel features episodes from the long-running, award-winning children’s show. The compilations and themed content around important holidays and events are not only educational but interactive. Toddlers will love seeing all their favorite Sesame Street characters from Elmo to Grover sing and dance. With over 23 million subscribers, the YouTube channel is as popular as the show many parents grew up with and are now eager to share with their own children.

Gabby & Friends

 

After revealing a surprise, real-live girl Gabby grabs her stuffed cat and says a few magical words. She then becomes a tiny animated figure who goes on adventures in her amazing dollhouse. Kids can watch full episodes of the Netflix show, Gabby’s Dollhouse on the YouTube channel. They can also enjoy videos of simple crafts, songs, and educational content like learning the colors of the rainbow. Parents can enjoy some special bonding time with their toddlers during the crafting videos because young kids won’t be able to do these by themselves. 

Ms. Rachel Songs for Littles

With over two million subscribers, Ms. Rachel’s soothing and melodious voice provides toddlers with lessons on letters, sounds, and numbers. The preschool teacher was inspired to create her channel after her own son was diagnosed with a speech delay. With a special focus on language development, Miss Rachel focuses on providing kids with an interactive experience they can follow along with. Here puppet sidekicks Herbie and Georgie also grab kids’ attention.

Disney+ for Toddlers: Everything You Need to Know

Disney+ is officially HERE, and it’s like Christmas has come early! I’ve spent the morning diving into the service, and I’ve picked out the BEST shows and movies on Disney+ for toddlers.

I know when my 4-year-old is left to his own devices inside any content service, whether it’s Netflix Kids, Amazon Prime, or – God forbid – YouTube, he immediately spirals into option overload and wants to watch everything and nothing all at once.

That’s a recipe for the worst kind of privilege-induced tantrum, if I’ve ever seen one.

I much prefer to set up a nicely curated watch list for him in advance, so he can make good choices and not fall into the FOMO abyss of endless options.

{And if you need some good ideas for educational shows to put on watch lists for your toddlers, I’ve got you covered.}

So, whether you need a good daily watch list for your toddler on Disney+, are looking to freshen up the rotation of daily shows for your toddler to watch over and over again, or are curating a list of shows to download for a trip to Disney World with a toddler, you’ve come to the right place!

And if you’re somehow still debating, “should I sign up for Disney+?” read on – but the short answer is: yes, yes you should.

What is Disney+?

If you’ve been living under a rock, Disney+ is Disney’s new streaming video service. It has ALL. THINGS. DISNEY. in it.

AKA, it’s everything you’ve ever dreamed of.

Think: all the Disney classics (the vault is officially OPEN, y’all!).

All the Disney Channel TV shows (Lizzie McGuire! Boy Meets World! That’s So Raven! Be still, my 90s girl heart!).

All the Disney Junior Series (Mickey! Elena! Doc McStuffins!).

All the Pixar movies (Toy Story! Monsters, Inc.! Even the Pixar shorts!)

All the Marvel movies (AVENGERS. AVENGERS INFINITY WAR. AVENGERS ENDGAME!)

All the Star Wars movies. (Like, ALL of them.)

PLUS, original series and movies that we’ve never seen before (even an Anna Kendrick original Christmas movie!).

And Disney+ costs just $6.99/month (even less if you pay annually)!

Can you tell I’m a little excited here?!!

If you’re able to resist signing up for it, I commend you. You should be negotiating with terrorists because you have an iron will.

This would also make a great gift for toddlers, or a toddler mom, for the record.

How do you set up Disney+ for toddlers?

First things first, you’ll want to create a separate profile for your toddlers. Maybe you thought this service was just for kids, but as you can see, mom & dad are going to be getting just as much use out of this as the kiddos.

So, here’s how to get your littles their own profile:

1. Click the user profile icon in the bottom right of your app.

2. Make sure to name the primary profile as your own profile.

3. Click “Add Profile.”

4. Choose a fun icon for your kids (we’re big Olaf fans over here).

5. Name the profile, and toggle the “Kids Profile” option to ON.

6. Reselect the “Autoplay” option, assuming you don’t want your kids screaming at you to play the next episode every time PJ Masks ends.

7. Save!

If you want to jump between the two profiles, you just tap that icon in the bottom right, and tap the new icon for the kids profile.

It’ll change your homescreen from this:

to this:

Can you limit what shows are available for my toddler on Disney+?

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there are any deeper age-restrictions built into the app, like Netflix Kids has, or any ways to “block” certain shows if you don’t want your kids to stumble upon them.

(We’ll just have to use some good ol’ fashioned parenting, I guess.)

What you can do, however, is create a “watchlist” for your toddler in their Disney+ profile, and direct them to that screen.

With any luck, they’ll be so enamored with the choices on that screen, they won’t be tempted to click around to uncover the deep black hole of content that awaits them within the rest of the app.

To add a show to the watchlist, just go to your child’s profile, tap on a show, and then click the little plus sign next to the play button.

What Disney+ movies and shows are best for toddlers?

I know everyone has vastly different opinions on what is and isn’t appropriate for young toddlers, so obviously, you know your own kid best.

I personally think any of the Disney animated movies and Disney Junior series are A-OK for all toddlers.

(However, I also know that when my sweet niece was 3, “Moana” terrified her, so again – know your own kid!)

There are a lot of live-action movies and series in the Disney+ kids app that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend for toddlers, like a movie called “Z-O-M-B-I-E-S,” or even “Hannah Montana.

I do wish there was a way to hide or block categories of content or even individual items like those, just to remove the future argument from my life, but at this point, that doesn’t seem to be an option.

What’s on our toddlers’ Disney+ watchlist?

As I curated our watchlist for our two toddlers (4-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl), I made sure to include a variety of movies, TV shows, and even shorts.

I also wanted to include a mix of their usual go-to favorites and some of the old classics that they haven’t seen yet, but have heard the music to, or that I know they’re going to love.

(Or maybe I just love them, and am going to force my kids to love them too… same thing.)

I know there will be times when my 4-year-old wants to change his mind every 90 seconds, so in those cases, I’ll direct him toward one of the Pixar shorts.

There will be times when one or both of them just wants to binge-watch the same 4 episodes of their favorite shows… so those are available to them.

And there will definitely be times when I’m too exhausted to deal with the pre-dinner crazy, and I’ll want them to just park it for a good ol’ Frozen 2 watch party..

So with that in mind here is our toddlers’ Disney+ watchlist…

5 cartoons to help you raise your kids

kaktus. media

All the fun in
Telegram

A lot has been said about the dangers of TV and gadgets for children. But it is not possible to completely forbid children from watching TV, using cell phones and tablets these days. We can only control what the child watches and limit the time. We can also use cartoons to nurture positive qualities in a child and create certain spiritual values.

Maybe your child has already seen these cartoons. But try to watch them together. And then discuss that friendship and devotion are qualities that are important in the modern world.

1. Rio

The story of the life of a blue macaw cub named Golubchik. As a chick, he remains alone and falls into the hands of smugglers. But then he was lucky enough to meet Linda, a little freckled girl from Minnesota. One day, Tulio, an ornithologist from Brazil, breaks into their measured life. This is where the real adventures of Ducky begin. The cartoon teaches children to help others, make friends and overcome their fears.

An added bonus is the vibrancy of Brazilian carnivals and excellent musical accompaniment.

Caution! Perhaps after watching this cartoon your child will want to have a feathered friend. If you are not ready for this, discuss it in advance.

Year — 2011, country — USA and Brazil, director — Carlos Saldana, duration — 1 hour 30 minutes.

2. Cars

This cartoon takes viewers into the world of cars. The protagonist Lightning McQueen is a car that races and wants to win.

While racing for the Piston Cup, McQueen did not expect at all that from now on he will have to communicate with characters of a completely different kind, who will help McQueen understand that there are some more important things in the world than fame, prizes and sponsors …

Year — 2006, country — USA, directors — John Lasseter and Joe Ranft, duration — 1 hour 50 minutes.

3. The Incredibles

This is a story about people with superpowers. They do not stand out among the crowd, but it is worth some villainy to happen, and superheroes come to the rescue.

Actually, in the center of the plot, the head of the Incredibles is Mr. Incredible. At the moment, he is going through hard times, moreover, he could even die. But in the end, everything ends well, because the whole family goes to support their dad and husband.

Well, what a reason to discuss that in the family everyone should protect the other.

Year — 2004, country — USA, director — Brad Bird, duration — 1 hour 55 minutes.

4. Spirit: Prairie Soul

A cartoon about a foal who became the leader of a herd of wild horses. One day he will risk his freedom to save his herd from people who wanted to tame them.

A deep plot, a peculiar drama and quite adult adventures of a young mustang make the cartoon special and amazing. Spirit will help you explain to your child what patriotism means.

Year — 2002, country — USA, directors — Kelly Asbury and Lorna Cook, duration — 1 hour 20 minutes.

5. Visit the Robinsons

Lewis is a little genius left by his mother in an orphanage. The biggest dream of his life is to find parents. But because of his special mind and ingenuity, all couples who applied for adoption at this shelter refuse him. One day he decides to invent a time machine to go back in time, remember his mother’s face and start looking for her. And he almost succeeds. The cartoon teaches you to appreciate what you have… And also not to be afraid of difficulties on the way to your goal.

Year — 2007, country — USA, director — Stephen J. Anderson, duration — 1 hour 30 minutes.

Enjoy watching!
