25 Top Best Educational Shows for Toddlers & Babies

Updated on

I don’t know about you but having my toddler watching a few minutes/hours of educational shows for toddlers can be a complete life saver. It’s a win-win situation for you and your toddler. It gives you just enough time to clean, attend to another child/baby, take a call or just take some time to gather your thoughts AND it helps them learn. 

Couple things to keep in mind . . . 

1. Giving kids screen time can be a VERY controversial subject. 

2. As a mom, we do what we need to in order to survive motherhood and should NOT care what others have to say about what we do with OUR children. 

Being a mom is HARD and it’s so easy for someone on the outside looking in to pass judgment. It know it may be easier said than done but don’t let that be reason you not do something to or for your child. 

Each household is different . . . Always make sure you do what’s for you & your family! 

Side note: The shows offered on these different platforms are always changing so be sure to check which platforms offer which shows. Also, these are in no particular order.

Top Best Educational Shows for Toddlers on YouTube

You will be able to find a lot of these educational shows for toddlers on YouTube. This is great because YouTube is free (for the most part). The videos however aren’t always exactly what you want and there’s a lot of distractions. Be sure to remove autoplay if you don’t want all kind of videos (that you don’t want your little one to watch) to play back-to-back. 

I recommend you make your own playlist and then set it to autoplay so that you don’t have to keep going back to play a video.
