Hello there Mommies! Sharing with you today a guest post that can help us decide on the shows we will allow our toddlers to watch. Thanks to fellow writer James Dorian, for writing for us:
Best Disney Shows Your Toddler Will Love
It’s an age-old problem: should toddlers watch TV? If you ask me, they should watch educational, but entertaining shows as well. As long as parents control their time in front of the screen and bring it down to a reasonable limit, they will only benefit from it.
I mean, admit it: you used to love Disney movies and shows as a kid, too. Why would we deprive our kids from the experience? I already started using Disney+ and let me tell you: my entire family enjoys it. If you already use Apple TV, you can add get Disney+ on that service. Here are the instructions on how to do that: https://setapp.com/how-to/get-disney-plus-on-apple-tv.
Now, onto the main point: what shows can you watch with your toddler? I’ll list a few options that my kid loves.
- Muppet Babies
This one is all about fun! You can put the show on when you want your toddler to relax, laugh, and use their imagination. The baby versions of our favorite Muppet characters play different games and go on weird adventures. It’s a new, modern show that still hasn’t been wrapped up. Once you go through the three seasons that are currently available, you’ll have to wait for the new releases.
- Handy Manny
My kid loves this one! Manny, a handy repairman, lives in a town where its residents speak two languages: English and Spanish. Manny’s tools also talk, and they help children to learn a foreign language from a very early age. It’s a lovely show that activates their hunger for learning. Plus, they may get interested in fixing things. That’s a skill they can use through life.
This show also has four seasons.
- Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
Mickey Mouse is a classic, innocent character that everybody loves. He’s been a quintessential symbol of childhood for generations. In this show, he helps toddlers to learn basic math and develop their initial problem-solving skills. The episodes are interactive, and they truly engage children.
There are four seasons of several short episodes, so it will take some time for your toddler to go through them all. You can feel free to repeat the episodes; nobody gets bored with them.
- Doc McStuffins
Doc McStuffins has many stuffed animal friends with different health problems. She runs a clinic for them. Broken toys? Not a problem when they have access to a great doctor!
Children benefit from this show in multiple ways. They learn how to care for their toys. It’s less likely for toddlers to break toys when they watch this show and imagine how they go through pain. Plus, the show makes them less scared of doctors. These are good people, who only try to help others. Isn’t that a nice lesson for a kid to learn?
It’s an award-winning show with its fifth season currently running.
- The Lion Guard
This is another new show that’s still coming out with new episodes. It’s currently on season 4. Kion, Simba’s son, is the main character. He has lovely companions, who are adventurous and always looking for trouble.
Both parents and kids love this show. It triggers a toddler’s love for animals, friendships, and adventures.
- Puppy Dog Pals
Are you a dog lover? Do you want to inspire your child to fall in love with animals, too? This is the perfect show for that! Rolly and Bingo, the two Pugs who run the show, love having fun. They adore their owner Bob, so that teaches a valuable life lesson: animals are full of love as long as you show them some attention.
Throughout their missions, Rolly and Bingo learn about the way the world works.
Currently, the fourth season is running on Disney+.
- PJ Masks
This is the perfect show to watch before sleep. Gekko, Owlette, and Catboy are normal kids with normal problems. They go to school, eat their meals, and have usual lives. But they are also superheroes at night. They fight the bad guys and save the world. By the next day, they fix all problems and bring the town back to order.
Your kids will love the stories of fighting crime before bedtime. They will get something good to dream about: being a superhero.
What Shows Will You Watch?
Disney+ no longer offers a free trial, which used to last for 30 days when the service was launched. But that’s okay. It’s still affordable and very valuable for kid-friendly content. You can pay on a month-to-month basis and cut the subscription when you don’t need it.
As for the shows, I love most of them! My toddler does, too.
