I try my best not to give my kid much screen time, but life is life and sometimes it is needed.

Here are some of our go-to's: Mister Rogers Neighborhood (the best and only one we can really do unsupervised) Vooks (animated books) Read-Aloud stories Hungarian Folk Tales Vintage Sesame Street (snuffy and big bird clips) Watching Trains & model trains Cowboy Jack (Texas dad who goes on field trips) Animal Documentary's for kids. Little Bear Franklin

Animations are insane and my kid completely zones out. But I can still interact with him when he watches the videos above.

Any other recommendations are welcome. iOS Apps are also welcome.

I understand perfectly. Riding home from the zoo with tired, cranky toddlers was hell and such shows, if used wisely, with activities later ( draw daddy the part of this show you liked the most) can reinforce things. My youngest turns 18 soon. My eldest is about to be 28. They aren't idiots/thugs/criminals and they are good people, despite me as a mom.

Old Blues Clues. With Steve. Not Joe. Blue was a girl with Steve then they resexed Blue as a Boy in Joe's shows. Old "Smurfs" will teach them to avoid big nosed creepy men. Old 3-2-1 CONTACT from PBS teaches easy science lessons. Madeline cartoon for girls. Oswald was harmless. Little Bear. Wonder pets. Max and Ruby. Wow wow Wubbzy Miss Spider's Sunnypatch Friends. My children were little in the 90s and early 00s. I avoided any social justice crap like dora and go Diego. They didn't like them anyway. Add Peppa Pig. Magic Schoolbus. There was a European animation/cartoon show called Small World that had strange yet great shorts.

Don't forget to avoid the TV show Caillou with the drugged out parents and a pedophile neighbor that always gets great joy in watching caillou.
