What are some nice short videos for youngish kids to watch?
I have kids ages 4-7 and they quite like watching a little snippet of something while they brush their teeth.
One thing they have been into recently is these stop motion videos on youtube on a channel called Peapea. However, it's obvious that M&Ms and Coke give them lots of money because it's all you see in many of the videos. But these are good videos, as the kids like them and while the full youtube videos are 30 mins long, within this there are lots of shorts only a few minutes long each. Perfect for bushing teeth. Also a bonus is those videos don't rely on sound, so they can watch and understand it without telling each other to brush queiter.
Does anyone have suggestions for anything similar that isn't plastered with Cocacola and is suitable for the 4-7 age range?
They Might Be Giants have some kids’ albums for which they also made music videos.
The band OK Go also has some fun videos that kids would enjoy and couple kid songs videos.
Ooh I like that suggestion. They would probably love the OK Go ones. I'll have a look at They Might Be Giants music videos too. Thanks!
Puffin Rock episodes are 20 minutes
Charlie’s Colorforms City episodes are 14-25 minutes
Word Party episodes are 13 minutes
Number Blocks episodes are 5 minutes each
How’s It’s Made have 3-4 shorts in each 20 minute episode, so each clip is about 5 minutes long
Music videos are usually about three minutes long
Puffin Rock is great, and those 20 minutes are split into 3 episodes. Number Blocks is also nice an has a killer intro song.
Plus Puffin Rock is narrated by:
Thanks for the suggestions!
Tom and Gerry or Looney toons
Ooh great suggestion!
If these aren’t canceled, then Bullwinkle and Rocky
Storybots is a great one. Fairly educational and some of the songs are genuinely good. There are both shorter videos on YouTube and long form episodes available.
Thanks I'll check it out!
Cat videos
Bluey is great for that age, I can't recommend it enough. For brushing teeth maybe Bluey shorts?
There are Bluey shorts?! We've watched a fair amount of Bluey episodes, didn't know there were shorts. I'll look into it, thanks!
Morph - plasticine people
Red & Blue - plasticine duo
AEIOU - sand art, violin players
The Blue Marble : a one marble path chain reaction (and similar marble runs)
Kapla collapse, or Kapla domino - sticks constructed and deconstructed
Marble race vids
'Thomas Train set' videos - real life train sets
Awesome, thanks! I've been through this list and added a bunch to my list.
Cheers (c:
We've had lots of fun watching these.
Remembered another one, I like these farm animal videos from Robert Höck
The Disney plus app has lots of shorts if you have that. We’ve done the spidey and his amazing friends, Winnie the Pooh, and Bluey. There’s lots more on there, even like Cars and Frozen ones
Thanks, will check it out!
We use the little mole for brushing teeth, but our kid is a bit younger. However, I don't remember a time in my life where I would not enjoy that little fella. You have videos from 5 (most) to 30 minutes (2) on youtube. There is no speech too.
Great, thanks, I'll check it out!
