About.com has out a great list of their Top 10 Favorite shows for Preschoolers by Carey Bryson.

Their choices are right up my “alley” with shows that are fun & educational. Their choices are on the popular kids networks like PBS, Nick Jr. and Disney. Responsible programming with age appropriate educational shows, are easy for a parent to choose.

A quick run-down of the shows, the article has more info. Click here to go to the site to see the list.

  1. The Backyardigans (cute & imaginative)
  2. Between the Lions- (have never caught an episode- but heard good things)
  3. Dora the Explorer – (my son prefers Diego)
  4. Blue’s Clues- (not one of my favorites)
  5. Sesame Street- (all time classic show)
  6. Imagination Movers (again my son prefers animation over these guys)
  7. Super Why (I swear it has helped teach my son letters & sounds)
  8. The Little Einsteins (my son hasn’t really seen this one much)
  9. Sid the Science Kid ( really good science experiments & explanations)
  10. Pink Dinky Doo- ( I haven’t ever heard of this one….have you?)

Leave me a comment and let me know if you agree with the list, and if there are shows that your child loves that didn’t make their top 10 list. I know one I would add is Word World on PBS- it’s a GREAT one!!

  • I agree with lots on this list, but also love Curious George. not exactly educational, but certainly not as offensive and shun-worthy as Max and Ruby and Caillou!
    I think the Backyardigans is the best show on TV for kids...and the most tolerable for me. I'm kind of surprised at Pink Dinky Doo. Just doesn't seem to appeal to any kids I know.
