LOL- I know usually I am stuggling to find one last show that I can come up with 3 aspects. This month I had an overabundance. I love that you added them anyway! I went with my son's favorites. I think Ni How and Peppa overlap with Micky Mouse Club house and Curious George. I've tried to cut back the amount of tv the 3 year old is watching and now I am fighting for computer time with him.

Yes searching for Pandora's box would be an exploratoin. Love Aeron!

Then i am all good!!! Woo hoo.
We have been fighting the same thing. My 3year old's first word everyday is "Good morning Mommy, can you put the tv on nick jr, please?"
EVERY MORNING. Every once in a while, he will switch it up with Disney Jr or PBS kids.

For some reason, on Disney JR, he has really gotten into Little Einsteins, Higglytown heroes, Jake & the Never land Pirates AND Doc McStuffins.

PBS kids has Wild Krafts, he loves the animal exploration

[Dawn (Kat N Hat)]

LOL almost the same here. He could probably watch Team Umizoomi all day everyday.

when you ask my son to do something like take off his shoes. He stays standing and says "arms extendo" as if his arms will extend to his feet.
It's hilarious.

Mine loves that too! He calls it "babba!" I have the "food" episode with the party in my tummy song saved on my ipad for him to watch in the car. The songs on that show are so insidious, they just get stuck in your head so bad. Did you see the episode with Jack Black - New Friends? It's hillarious.
