Ds used to like Mr Tumble and Bing but is now into Gecko’s Garage. It’s so boring!

Is there anything he might enjoy? I know a lot of kids like Bluey but he isn’t into it at all.

DS is nearly 4 but these have been firm favorites for a while now.

Bluey
Numberblocks
Pokemon (the original series)
Blippi

3kids1kitty · 08/12/2023 17:33

Chip and potato
ben and holly

MsChatterbox · 08/12/2023 17:34

Obsessed with peppa!

Caspianberg · 08/12/2023 17:39

Paddington

TheGoogleMum · 08/12/2023 17:43

Hey Duggee?

Frosty1000 · 08/12/2023 17:45

At 3 we liked hey duggee, Ben and holly, go jetters, octonauts, raa ra the lion and twirlywoos.

More towards 4 it was the Andy stuff, Grace's amazing machines, waffle (😬) etc.

NameChange30 · 08/12/2023 17:46

Paddington (which is quite sweet)
Paw Patrol (which is inane and annoying)
Peppa Pig (annoying but slightly better than Paw Patrol)

DC1 enjoyed Octonauts for a bit age 3 but DC2 doesn't seem to have been so into it.

NameChange30 · 08/12/2023 17:46

Oh and we had a Superkitties phase

shoutandpout · 08/12/2023 17:47

When my eldest was 3 she liked peppa pig the most and Disney stuff mainly, she liked jojo and gran gran - more cartoon stuff then live action kids programmes m.

Everydayimhuffling · 08/12/2023 17:48

Hey Duggee, Gabby's Dollhouse, Paw Patrol (which I find deeply tedious), Daniel Tiger's Neighbourhood. Most of those are on Netflix

NameChange30 · 08/12/2023 17:48

All the Julia Donaldson short films

Danikm151 · 08/12/2023 17:48

My son loves Blaze and the monster machines.
It’s great because it introduces them to counting and science.
He likes duggee, go jetters and numberblocks too

VivaVivaa · 08/12/2023 17:49

Numberblocks
Go Jetters
Octonauts
Clangers
Grace’s Amazing Machines
Julia Donaldson book adaptations if we fancy something longer

They are top with our 3 yo. All CBeebies.

ThreeKneeRepeater · 08/12/2023 17:49

Peppa Pig
Ben and Holly
Gabby’s Dollhouse
Cory Carson

Newsenmum · 08/12/2023 17:50

Go through CBeebies and try different things. Only channel I completely trust for kids things and there’s heaps on there.
What does he/she like playing with?

donkey86 · 08/12/2023 17:50

Hey Duggee, Chuggington, Moon & Me, and Numberblocks. Also Peppa Pig but I often pretend that doesn’t work on our tv!

Newsenmum · 08/12/2023 17:50

NameChange30 · 08/12/2023 17:48

All the Julia Donaldson short films

Definitely

Dontopenthetrapdoor · 08/12/2023 17:52

Sarah and duck was a firm favourite with us

Anythinbutbing · 08/12/2023 17:54

Vehicles mostly @Newsenmum !

He doesn’t like Duggee - sorry should have mentioned that. He did used to enjoy the Julia Donaldson films but seems to have gone off them.

Trying him with Numberblocks now. He’s not impressed Grin

He might like paw patrol then but it’s on Netflix (not CBeebies) and I don’t know if you want to get into it because imo its dire!

Newsenmum · 08/12/2023 17:58

What about grace’s amazing machines?

Mummyofthewildones · 08/12/2023 17:59

Blippi
Spidey and his amazing friends
Paw patrol
Puppy dog pals
Super kitties

If he likes vehicles try Chuggington on CBeebies. Forgot about that - another one DS likes. Also Grace’s Amazing Machines, although I’m still not sure how much my 3 yo follows. He likes it but would say designed for slightly older children.

Ploctopus · 08/12/2023 18:02

Mine loves Octonauts and Winnie the Pooh

DixonD · 08/12/2023 18:02

Gigglebiz and Charlie and Lola. Not sure if they are still on CBeebies but they are on the iPlayer.
