We love Netflix. We have been faithful customers for about 8 years. Back then we didn’t stream but received two DVDs at a time in the mail. (Remember those days?) Now we stream only. We dumped cable and haven’t been sorry. One reason I love Netflix is the abundance of education entertainment available. My six year old can navigate and find the shows we let her watch and she loves educational entertainment. That makes this mommy quite happy!
School is out for most kids, so educational entertainment can easily help families with the dreaded summer slide. We are homeschooling year round so my daughter is still getting school at least four days a week even during the summer. No brain drain happening here. But to supplement homeschool, I do like to have her watch the educational shows available on Netflix.
So here are ten educational shows on Netflix that my six year old daughter actually loves to watch.
- Magic School Bus
- Turtle: The Incredible Journey
- Leap Frog
- Wild Kratts
- The Blue Planet
- Super WHY!
- Walking with Dinosaurs
- Word Girl
- The Jeff Corwin Experience
- Fetch with Ruff Ruffman
Which educational shows do your children enjoy?
And here’s a brain boosting treat to enjoy while watching these shows:
Organic strawberry Greek yogurt pops with chia seed and flax seed!
{So easy and yummy!}
Omg I totally remember Fetch with Ruff Ruffman when my 15 year old was little! My 8 year old loves all those shows and aside from them we watch a lot of Discovery Channel and History Channel and often the kids get really absorbed into them!
Even though we got rid of cable, we can still catch some stations with our fancy TV. So my daughter loves those stations plus The Weather Channel and Discovery Health 🙂
I do not have children so I can’t really add anything to your list. My kids have four legs and hooves.
My daughter is into the younger shows like Backyardigans, Bubble Guppies and Blue’s Clues. But these look awesome.
My kids love Bubble Guppies too. I remember watching Backyardigans when my daughter was three. She love that show! Man, time flies by so fast.
Magic School Bus and Leap Frog are two favorites here. Thanks for the great yogurt pop recipe!
I think it’s great that Netflix is helping with Summer Slide. I love Leap Frog products, I didn’t realize they had a show(s) too!
We love Magic School Bus, and any nature show is great too.
Our favorite has always been Magic School Bus. Before it came to Netflix we had the entire show on dvd but now that it’s on Netflix we mostly watch it there.
