For Learning About Cool Vehicles Blippi Visits an Ice Cream Truck

What We Like Blippi is fun, upbeat, and captures attention while delivering educational material. If your child gets hooked, Blippi has a huge selection of videos that are as educational as this one. What We Don't Like At the end of the video, Blippi creates sundaes out of clay, something that smaller children might try and eat. Blippi is a children's favorite with more than 2.4 million subscribers. Take Blippi and mix him with ice cream, and you have a winning combination. Plus, toddlers get to learn some simple math along the way. Watch Blippi Visits an Ice Cream Truck 02 of 10

For Learning About Animals Wow English TV at the Zoo

What We Like Steve and Maggie teach animal sounds and names through repetition. Asking questions, they engage with little ones of all ages. What We Don't Like Maggie's voice is unique to the point of being a bit unnerving. However, your child may enjoy it. Steve, a fun and upbeat English gentleman, and Maggie, a lovely bird with a big personality, make Wow English TV's videos captivating. This particular video takes your child on a trip to the zoo, complete with monkeys and other interesting animals. Watch Wow English TV at the Zoo 03 of 10

For Fun Under-the-Sea Exercise Baby Shark by PinkFong

What We Like It's engaging and helps toddlers understand the difference between different sea creatures. What We Don't Like Baby Shark is not easily forgotten. Your child might sing the catchy tune over and over, even after the video is done. If you have a preschooler, chances are you've heard of Baby Shark. The song is catchy, capturing the hearts of toddlers all over the world. PinkFong's Baby Shark is no exception. This video teaches hand movements while giving your child some much-needed exercise.

For Learning About Bath Time Scrub-a-Dub-Dub With the Mother Goose Club

What We Like Even the most apprehensive toddlers will be inclined to jump in the bath after watching this video. What We Don't Like This video isn't long enough. Add a few more minutes to the end and it would be perfect. Some toddlers are apprehensive about taking a bath. Mother Goose Club's bath video includes a catchy tune and a super-cute kid dressed as a mouse. The little mouse takes you through the steps of bathing in a memorable way, making bath time look like fun. Watch Scrub-a-Dub-Dub With the Mother Goose Club 05 of 10

For Saturday Morning Learning Nursery Rhymes by Little Baby Bum

What We Like There is so much to see in this video. From learning letters to our head, shoulders, knees, and toes, this video has it all. What We Don't Like The video is fast moving from start to finish without any breaks. It can be a lot to take in for younger children. When you need a video that's engaging, educational, and relaxing, this is the one. It's nearly an hour long and full of nursery rhymes such as The Wheels on the Bus and Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

For Learning a Morning Routine This Is the Way

What We Don't Like We wish this video had more to give to complete the morning routine, including eating a good breakfast and making a bed. Learning a morning routine is critical for preschoolers. This video teaches your child how to brush their teeth, wash their face, and more. The puppet is cute and the song is as catchy as it is easy to remember. Watch This Is the Way 07 of 10

For an Animated Classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar

What We Like Nothing beats a classic that helps to develop an early love for reading within your child. What We Don't Like Although a classic, this video isn't as enticing or eye-catching as the others. The youngest of children might get a bit bored. You might have read this classic story while learning to read. Your toddler will enjoy this story and fall in love with the caterpillar crawling across the screen. Watch The Very Hungry Caterpillar 08 of 10

For Learning Phonics Animal Phonics Song With Toddler Fun Learning

What We Like The song is easy to remember and the graphics are bright. It's perfect for infants and preschoolers. What We Don't Like Some of the letter sounds are difficult to understand and hear at first listen. Toddlers who are beginning to speak and form sentences benefit from early-stage phonics. This video uses the names of animals and a catchy tune to teach letter sounds. It's an educational video that preschoolers will enjoy. Watch Animal Phonics Song 09 of 10

For Learning About Dinosaurs 10 Little Dinosaurs

What We Like 10 Little Dinosaurs is simple and easy to follow for all ages. What We Don't Like This video is a little over two minutes long. For longer-lasting fun, check out their compilation videos. What little one doesn't love dinosaurs? This video features all kinds of dinos, a catchy song, and numbers all rolled into one.
