A toddler's guide to online videos

2007-07-08T21:07:00.000-05:00

This site isn't dead! I have been terribly remiss in updating it however. I'd blame the birth of my second daughter but it's been too long for even that.

Here's one E was enjoying just today:

Cute otters

2007-03-30T08:48:00.000-05:00

A couple of sea otters holding hands while taking a nap.

Dancing Baby Elephant Plays Harmonica

2007-03-09T09:59:00.001-05:00

How bout that...

The count meets cookie monster

2007-03-02T19:26:00.000-05:00

Doo Wop Doo Wop Hop!

2007-03-01T19:25:00.000-05:00

Sorry for the lack of posting. We recently welcomed E's little sister M to our family.

Here's a fun Sesame Street clip...

Bunny Show Jumping

2007-02-15T09:25:00.000-05:00

First a question: did you know that there was such a thing as competitive rabbit show jumping?

Apparently there is, and E is addicted. Here are some highlights...

Toucan Two-Step

2007-02-13T21:10:00.000-05:00

A great video for toddlers just learning to count. For E, counting is mostly repeating "two, three, two, three" over and over again.

There's a bird on me

2007-02-12T19:41:00.000-05:00

Another classic Sesame Street. Of course E was a fan given the elephant (or Eddie as she calls them) but she also is a big fan of giraffes.

Funky Duck

2007-02-11T18:26:00.001-05:00

Another quick one...

Nora, The Piano-Playing Cat

2007-02-10T12:01:00.000-05:00

E really enjoyed watching Nora play the piano.

And if you want more, check out Nora's website.

Mahna Mahna

2007-02-09T19:25:00.000-05:00

A classic from the Muppet Show...

And as a bonus, here is the classic classic version from Sesame Street...

"oo"

2007-02-08T21:22:00.000-05:00

Here's a clip from Electric Company, a show I remember from my childhood... E doesn't get the reference to 2001 A Space Oddesy, but oooh's right along with the guys.

Babies (penguins that is)

2007-02-08T21:13:00.000-05:00

E's first movie was Happy Feet and while she didn't actually make it through the whole movie, she simply adored the first half where the penguins are growing up. Ever since then she has referred to all penguins as "babies".

Here's the real life thing that is just as cute as the movie.

The whole movie is a bit much for a toddler but this clip is just right.

Golden Retriever Puppies

2007-02-08T21:10:00.000-05:00

Another reliable standby is this short clip of some puppies playing.

Weird Frog

2007-02-08T21:05:00.000-05:00

This is one weird frog... but it made little E laugh and laugh and laugh... We watched over and over again. You've been warned.

Pocoyo: The video that launched this blog

2007-02-08T15:19:00.000-05:00

Pocoyo is an adorable animated tv program available seemingly everywhere in the world besides the United States. Luckly for US residents there are a number of officially tolerated episodes available on YouTube.

While my daughter and I had been watching random puppy movies for a while, this was the one that launched my obsession with finding quality childrens video online.

There are activities and a few extra episodes available on the Pocoyo website and for parents there is a Pocoyo blog with loads of cool behind the senenes details.

Welcome

2007-02-08T14:48:00.000-05:00

This site will be dedicated to finding and sharing the best online videos that are appropriate for toddlers.
