MamaMia100 · 30/09/2011 16:22

Calling all cbeebies experts! I have just had a new baby and my resolve to limit my 2-year old's tv viewing has gone out the window. We have only ever watched the bedtime hour before. Any advice on good programs suitable for a 2 and a half year old? Thanks!!

It changes weekly but mr bloom ,something special , baby jake, octonauts, show me show me, tikkabilla, driver dans story train have all had phases of being popular. Do you have a recorder as I tend to record and replay stuff? And IMHO peppa pig prob still the all time favourite

Gigondas · 30/09/2011 16:46

Oh and big city park too

MangoMonster · 30/09/2011 16:56

Raa raa the noisy lion, something special, Charlie and Lola.

MangoMonster · 30/09/2011 16:56

Excellent! Thanks everyone. Just tried ra ra the noisy lion and she loved it :-). We will work our way through the other suggestions!

Show Me Show Me is fantastic. DD loves Mr Bloom and Something Special too.

Bellie · 30/09/2011 18:10

Show me Show me, Mr Bloom, Big and Small

GentleOtter · 30/09/2011 18:11

Tinga Tales are lovely.

meala · 30/09/2011 18:21

Octonauts are the firm favourite here.

Avoid Gigglebiz, Mighty Mites and Rasta Mouse .

Kingsroadie · 30/09/2011 18:25

Night garden, waybaloo. Ds loved the singing interludes.. You the days of the week ones etc. Try something special, most kids adore it and kerwhizz.

Sirzy · 04/10/2011 20:00

DS is nearly 2 and loves Something Special (he would watch it all day if he was allowed) and has picked up quite a few signs from it.

Ra ra is popular to, as is Waybuloo, Mr Bloom and Nina and the Neurons!

IvyAndGold · 04/10/2011 20:03

At the minute 17mo DD is loving Waybuloo, In The Night Garden, and Baby Jake (which I hate!)

She is more of a Milkshake fan, on channel 5 in the mornings, to be honest. She's a complete Peppa Pig groupie, and loves Ben and Holly, Fifi and Mio and Mao I think it's called...

KenDoddsDadsDog · 04/10/2011 20:05

DD loves Timmy Time

FrillyMilly · 04/10/2011 20:11

Dd is nearly 3 and loves Something Special, she knows quite a few signs from it. She also likes I Can Cook although not sure if that's on at the moment and Show Me Show Me is another. I don't allow waybaloo on cos the squeaky voices drive me insane. We've started to build up quite a DVD collection now too. She loves Disney films, Dora, Peppa pig and Ben and holly.

chickensaresafehere · 06/10/2011 13:54

My dd2 giggles her way through every episode of Timmy Time,but adores Something Special(as she uses makaton herself)& Gigglebiz.
Justin can do no wrong in this house!!!

havinhoops1974 · 06/10/2011 14:55

Justing Fletcher is fantastic

Something Special, Gigglebiz and ahow me show me Zingzilla's

RogerMelly · 06/10/2011 14:56

mine like waybulloo, charlie and lola, baby jake, gigglebiz and something special

Reggieinkl · 06/10/2011 15:37

Pretty much any of the Cbeebies stuff is good in my book. If you're going the DVD route my 2 year old loves Dora and since my son was born in July she has garnered a fairly impressive spanish vocabularly! Like you my resolve on the telly front went by the way side when my baby arrived!

Love Rastamouse, loathe Waybuloo. Silly soppy plinky plonky rubbish. My LO is only 5 months but she seems to agree.
