10 TV Shows That Are Actually Educational


We all know that television is one of those things as children that we felt we just could not live without and kids today feel the same way, they have to watch television. So we want to give you all a list of 10 television shows that you don't have to feel bad about your children watching. Now we recommend television in moderation and not just sitting your child in front of it and leaving them for hours at a time.

  1. Sesame Street - Sesame Street is a long-running American children's television series created by Joan Ganz Cooney and Lloyd Morrisett. The program is known for its educational content, and images communicated through the use of Jim Henson's Muppets, animation, short films, humor, and cultural references.
  2. Super Why - the animated television series and interactive website, helps children ages 3-6 learn key reading skills, including alphabet, rhyming, spelling and reading.

  5. Dora the Explorer - Dora the Explorer is an animated children's television series starring a 7-year-old Latina girl and her friends. The show is designed to actively engage preschoolers in a play-along, computer-style adventure. In each episode, Dora invites young viewers to join her on an adventure or an exploration with a clearly defined goal at the end. Using Map to point out the stops on the way, Dora and the viewer must solve problems and overcome obstacles along the way to their goal. At the end of each episode, Dora, the viewer, and Dora's friends, celebrate with Dora's signature "We Did It" dance. She also introduces children to Spanish vocabulary, encourages movement, and gives viewers the skills and the confidence needed to overcome challenges.
  6. Go Diego Go - Diego is an 8-year-old Latino action-adventure hero with a heart. His goal is to save and protect the animals and their environment. Athletic and fearless, he is always at the ready no matter what the situation. Diego loves learning new things. He takes a scientific approach to problem solving and also uses a variety of high-tech gadgets and gizmos to save the day.
  7. Kipper - Optimistic and curious, Kipper is the quintessential child with an active imagination. Kipper's charm captivates and delights children the world over. His touching and imaginative adventures are based on the best-selling books by Mick Inkpen.
  8. Little Einsteins - Leo, Annie, Quincy and June are the Little Einsteins. This preschool series is full of adventures that introduce kids to nature and world cultures.
  9. Dinosaur Train - The series features a curious young Tyrannosaurus Rex named Buddy who, together with his adopted Pteranodon family, takes the Dinosaur Train to explore his time period, and have adventures with all kinds of dinosaurs.
  10. Backyardigans - The Backyardigans is an animated musical-adventure series for children ages 2 to 5. In each episode, the show's five high-spirited preschool friends--Uniqua, Pablo, Tyrone, Tasha, and Austin--rely on their vivid imaginations to transform their backyard into a fantastical 3-D landscape, and together they embark on amazing epic journeys. 

    These lovable characters will inspire children to sing and dance along, and to stretch their imaginations as they climb up mountains, slide down glaciers, and sail across oceans. Each episode is driven by an exciting, age-appropriate story and enlivened by original music--including big band, reggae, rockabilly, bossa nova, and hip-hop--and by professionally choreographed dance numbers.
