What are some good Youtube Videos your toddlers like to watch?

My son loves watching all the "Egg Surprise" and "Soupe Opera" videos. I would have never discovered if someone had not told me. I am assuming there are many other very popular ones out there, so please share.

My 1 year old really likes the 1234 Monsters Walking Across The Floor by Sesame Street & Feist.

We also watch School House Rock, she obviously is too young to understand them. They're catchy and will easy to remember as she grows up.

For something wacky, we also watch Animaniacs "Wakko's 50 State Capitols" "It's A Great Big Universe" and "Yakko's Nations of the World"

Also see http://www.reddit.tv

But the only child appropriate one is the r/kidsafevideos subreddit.

I used to have channels saved that were of battery powered duplo and brio trains and garden trains. The reddit.tv channel for r/modeltrains too.

I think the Barefoot books videos (juat search in YT) are great - all are songs and come with books if kids are really keen.

I don't know why, maybe the flashing lights, the catchy song, or what, but my son is mesmerized when I put on Elie Goulding - Lights.

Ridiculously, my boy LOVED watching product reviews and people opening toys and, oddly enough, kinder eggs.

Channels I subscribe to and my son has loved from age 1-present (3) are SuperSimpleLearning, StoryBots, KidTV123, and BusyBeavers. He also really liked the whole Kinder egg and toy review videos for a while. Disneycollector was is favorite and is descriptive language blossomed while watching them.

My son enjoys several of the Caspar Babypants videos:

Stompy the Bear

Butterfly Driving a Truck (He likes this one better than the official video because it has kids in it.)

Itsy Bitsy Spider

He also LOVES what he calls the Puppy Zoom! video. I found that one on the The Kid Should See This blog.

Finally, he really started picking up his colors after we found the Butterfly Colors Song 2 from KidsTV123. He also likes their Wheels on the Bus

My son is really into space right now, so he loves watching those "Ask an Astronaut" videos with Chris Hadfield.

Pocoyo, Busy Beaver (the free channel). We also watch some Russian shows: Lyntik, Fiksiki, Musti, and Masha and the Bear. One day she got stuck on this toy store's channel. All it was, was a pair of hands opening plastic eggs wrapped in play-doh and reavling a toy.

Excellent! I'm bookmarking this page.

I find that my daughter (2.5 years) responds well to anything with both (a) music and (b) either animation, puppets, or animals. Here are some of her favourites:

Fainting goats with Yakety Sax. She loves this one.

A few that are very popular on youtube: The Duck Song, Nyan Cat, and What does the fox say?

Anything Muppets/Sesame Street: Elmo's Song, Manah Manah, Popcorn (Swedish Chef), Bohemian Rhapsody, and Ode to Joy (Beaker).

Pretty much any animated film clips by They Might Be Giants: Meet the Elements, Alphabet of Nations, Why does the sun shine?, Nonagon, and Put it to the test. Most of these are also educational.

We use the Nanny extension on Chrome, so there is a time limit for the day.

At the 15min mark, mickey mouse shows up, no more video, and as a bonus, he now associates mickey mouse with restrictive copyright policy and no more fun.

Haha! Great. :D
