I have a 1.5 year old boy and likes to watch cartoons and stuff, but a lot on tv aren't that great. Do you guys recommend any cartoons, episodes, learning that I can play from my computer to tv anytime I want?

The Sprout channel, nick toons, boomerang, even Disney JR all have great programming that will help the young ones learn and be entertained

The old Disney stuff is great. Old episodes of Mickey Mouse/Donald Duck etc. They're mostly public domain and all over Youtube.

I used to love this one when I was a kid even though it is pretty scary for a Mickey Mouse video:


This one was brilliant:

I guess this depends on your location.

In the UK, my 1 and 2 year old love the Cbeebies channel. The iPad also has some great educational and story time type apps.

Turn the TV off and let them do something creative. All kids love to watch television but should you let them? It was more work to keep them entertained but I'm much happier that I limited both my son's television when they were younger.

But, if you are going to allow them to watch it, stick to more learning-centric programming. As listed above, NickJr is a good place. Also public television. Check out things like Blues Clues, Dora, Diego, etc..

my daughter loved pbskids.com and disneyjunior.com at that age (and still does) -- she was using the trackpad pretty early and interacting with those learning games.

Just please avoid crappy 3D animations where nothing happens and also please avoid those horrible fake Disney sitcoms.

Ooh! Winnie the Pooh! He's brilliant!
