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.

My nearly 3 year old is obsessed with Puffin Rock on netflix, it's extremely gentle though, possibly not every toddler's bag..

I love this one! We found it by accident. Very calming.

DD who is now 5, at 3 I remember she used to like watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Gabby's Dollshouse (who she still likes, and my DS who is 2 now also now likes it!), Bluey, and Peppa Pig. She's just starting to outgrow the first and last of these around now tbh.

McSteamyorMcdreamy · 08/12/2023 20:26

Bluey is my 4 yo DDs fave.

I actually lol'd at it the other day. I recorded the part and now if I'm having a bad day at work I watch it and it makes me laugh again and again 😂

Rawrrawr1 · 08/12/2023 20:28

3.5yr old here.
He likes: bluey, colourblocks, anything Andy ( so irritating) vegesaurs all iplayer
Netflix: supermonsters, octonauts, Dino train and paw patrol (again irritating)
He will watch a film now, though we do have the same ones on repeat, Moana, Lion King and Encanto

roarrfeckingroar · 08/12/2023 20:33

Paw patrol and Spidey

elloyellow · 08/12/2023 20:35

My 6 year old and nearly 3 year old will agree on watching Bluey and Peter Rabbit together, the 6 year old likes other dreadful trashy stuff so I'm quite happy when they choose these two!

ComeOnNow21 · 08/12/2023 20:46

My vehicle obsessed three year old loves octonauts.

TheBirdintheCave · 08/12/2023 21:19

@Kdubs1981 Right?? 😂
