Parentcaster: best YouTube (or Netflix) content to download to an iPad for 1.5 to 2 year old for a flight?
We downloaded Bluey on Disney+ and Sesame Street on HBO Max on our flight with our 2yo. She hasn't watched much else though.
Super Simple Songs YouTube and/or the standalone app https://apps.apple.com/us/app/super-simple-kids-songs/id1458640095
Hear me out: cocomelon Parents might find it annoying but they made the eps an hour long! I like that given everything else out there is made for a 4-minute attention span.
Btw, thanks for ruining my escapism 😅 jk farcaster://casts/0x...4166589c77
True, Gabby’s Dollhouse, Octonauts, Cory Carson, and Story Bots. I’m just looking at my 3yo’s previously watched on Netflix 😆
HBO has Classical Baby YouTube - Cocomelon, Blippi, The Sound of Music, Super Kids TV
Here’s a solid list across all major platforms; Amazon, Netflix, YouTube. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CgJIFhsIEiW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= We found Kipper to be really good and they have extended playlist on YouTube; e.g., https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLODJi377tYw8f1rJ-XejZecZCl4T2HOT2
Only have a the Criterion Channel. So… ummm, something by Wim Wenders, or anything w/ Glenda Jackson in it. — Lmk in 17 years how it works out?
The Wiggles. https://www.netflix.com/us/title/80029622?s=i&trkid=13747225&vlang=en&clip=81144162
Not too long from now kid content will be ai generated starring your own kids
I like Disney movies for this. Longer form is better than shorter form. And if they are motivated to pay attention to a screen, why not leverage that to stretch to understand a longer narrative?
I’ll push back and instead suggest Endless 123 and Endless ABC. My 1yr old devoured these - we had to set strict rules around iPad usage - but he knew all his letters and numbers (and a few words) before hitting two. Those apps are nothing short of amazing. Also +1 for Bluey.
For that age, iPad w Cocomelon as escape hatch. 5 hr flight-didn’t bring out iPad: Interactive book https://www.target.com/p/chuckle-38-roar-flashlight-seek-38-find-the-magical-hidden-objects-game-for-kids/-/A-79396276 Cheap individual toys re-wrapped in newsprint for them to open, dosed hourly. Special snacks. GL!
Can’t recall if we used IPad at that age during flights. if we did it was; -Disney+ (Bluey, Moana, Airplane, Cars) - https://youtu.be/_UR-l3QI2nE - https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVVPbktYvRJ-BXWfbrtcmLH_3Veciyjpn Last link is a small playlist, ABC coco melon was a go-to, Disney was backup, I love Bluey!
Daniel Tiger is my fav kids show It’s a modern-day remake/extension of Mr Roger’s Neighborhood https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=923WfmDgQMc
Studio Ghibli, my daughter was hooked on Kiki and Ponyo
We went right into disney/ pixar full movies. I think monsters inc was a big hit right around that age!
*deep breath* *swallows hard* CocoMellon *sigh through grimace*
Thomas & Friends Go dog go Cocomelon (might melt their brains, though) Mighty Express (I think that's what it's called)
CocoMelon, PawPatrol. If games are okay, Funny Food kid games are very good.
