What cartoons do your two-year-olds watch apart from Peppa pig that is remotely good for their development? :)

@kate_smith, I’ve got some suggestions but as I have lived in UK and Australia I am not sure which are available in which country as my step son prefers to watch YouTube and musicals.

Sofia the first (niece and nephew love this one)

Dora the explorer

Mr tumble

Bear and the big blue house (might not be on tv anymore)

Peg and cat (niece in Australia loves this one)

@aussiebub I couldn't find the original study (I am not being rude, I am a scientist, I've been trained not to believe everything I read online), but I see their point. Children do copy what they are exposed to, be it their parents, friends or characters in cartoons... Yet, I haven't found anything else quite as age appropriate for my daughter that she would respond to so well yet :( hence the question to all the mums around here really! In Peppa's defence, although she is not little miss perfect and it is really badly drawn, the language is good and repetition - even non English speaking kids learn language from it very quickly. Must be something to it afterall!

@kate_smith, yeah I bet she does! Lil man don’t sit for long watching tv but as soon as they start singing he’s ready to dance lol and it holds his interest as their baby animals, bright colours, they talk as if talking to him asking questions etc basically learning all the same things as he’s learned or is learning, so he can relate I guess xx

Harvard did a study on it

@mrsmowmow you recon? Daria doesn't answer the screenen... I think I would need to sit with her and watch together. Which is ideal of course... Unfortunately I usually do housework while she is glued to the TV...

@babycakes88 thank you!!! Especially love anything I can find on Netflix, I don't get to use my subscription that much, this would justify having it! ;)

@chesscalouise2 we tried it a while ago, she seemed a bit freaked out. But she is almost a year older now, I'll try again, thank you!!!

@aussiebub have they? I haven't heard!!! I know that a lot of mums don't show it to their kids because Peppa is a little spoilt turd. Daria has a lot of negative behaviours, so I was thinking it is actually good for her to see how Peppa is told off and correcting the way she acts. Maybe I'm wrong!!

@x-t-x that's brilliant!!! We have a big problem of the energy accumulating during screen time, would be amazing if she danced whilst watching!!!

@anika7 @reduplikate русские тоже хочу, даже больше чем английские! Это очень грустно, но дочка безумно любит мультики и язык из них учит кажется даже лучше, чем из реальной жизни, а говорит в основном по английски пока, надо русский внедрять!

Деревяшки прямо сейчас смотрит пока я мелкого кормлю и тут строчку. Вещь! Спасибо! Первое впечатление как откмалышариков, только нарисовано хорошо!

@anika7 как тебе повезло!!! А моя как будто живёт ради мультиков по вечерам, когда я мелкого укладываю. Когда я раз в неделю глажу и даю мультики, что бы с утюгом не безобразничала, вообще праздник :( все время из просит :( наверно я очень скучная мама! @reduplikate твой тоже к мультиками спокойно относиться?

Cloud babies вечером попробуем, спасибо!!!

@kate_smith, yeah Word Party is on Netflix. Yeah give it a go, lil man loves it with all the singing etc even has me up & dancing with him when the songs comes on 😂

@kayleeebeee thank you!!! That's a lot of suggestions! We've only tried paw patrol, Daria keeps asking for it, but I'm not convinced she understands it yet...

@they-see-me-trollin thank you!! I think Daria might have overindulged on little baby bum in December when she got lots of cartoons in the car during our two week road trip across Europe... Do they have anything apart from nursery rhymes?

@x-t-x I didn't know it was on Netflix! I was showing it in YouTube. I bet it's better quality!

Thanks,I'll give world party a go as well :))

Wiggles on Netflix my little girl loves it that’s all we watch atm

Mr tumble is good he signs everything aswell when he talks my daughter knows a lot of sign language because of him now! Xx @kate_smith

They actually did a study and Peppa pig contributes to bad behaviour. By people are right, anything that is interactive for them or gets them up and doing things

На русском не хочешь? Макс у нас залипает только на "деревяшек" (есть и англ. версия, но я не знаю как правильно называется). Правда включаю очень редко на 10-15 мин. Ребёнок очень спокойно к мультикам относится 🤷‍♀️, может потому что дома нет ТВ 😁 Ещё вроде неплохая с детскими песенками "Бурёнка Даша", чаще всего просто слушает и занимается своими делами :))

Something special with Mr Tumble!

@they-see-me-trollin, 😂 oh good choice lol xx

@they-see-me-trollin, ah didn't realise it was on YouTube too lol, worth a look! x

@kayleeebeee, there’s millions on you tube if you can get it. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the same one twice 😂

@x-t-x, I’m a bit partial to the ants go marching. 😂

@they-see-me-trollin, lol true! That dinosaur counting one got stuck in my head for days lol and now it’s back 😂 xx

@they-see-me-trollin, my son loves that too, we have it on Netflix x

@x-t-x, oh I know!! Especially when they play one after the other! 😫😂

Paw patrol, something special, blaze is good. Also there's a youtuber that does videos, he's called blippi and my two year old loves him. He goes through colours, numbers, shapes all whilst he plays in kids play areas so it's relatable to them x

@they-see-me-trollin, ah my lil boy loves that too! I swear I didn’t know there was that many versions of wheels on the bus! Lol xx

My lil boys favourite at the moment is Word Party xx

Little Baby Bum is one of my son’s faves. Very educational, bright and colourful, with the most annoying songs that you’ll be singing for days.
