The sense of independence she feels when she opens the Netflix app on our iPad is priceless. Here are her favourites and my picks for best Netflix Canada shows for preschoolers.

Paw Patrol is a 30 minute cartoon about a group of dogs who work together to solve problems. Each dog has a job and their own accessories. My daughter’s favourite is Marshall a dalmatian who is also a firefighter. Marshall is a ‘silly goose’ to use my daughter’s words and always finds himself in some sort of trouble.

Despicable Me

Best Netflix Canada Shows for Preschoolers

My daughter loves this movie. It is the ‘Mininon’ movie as far as she is concerned. She loves the minions and waits until they come on the screen. I really enjoyed Despicable Me as well and it’s a great movie for the whole family. 

Super Why!

Super Why! is my favourite of the shows my daughter watches. Super Why! is about a boy named Wyatt who lives behind the bookcase of the children’s section of a library. When problems arise Wyatt and his friends turn into super heroes and look in a book for answers. They tackle problems with his friends using literacy skills – spelling, alphabet, fill in the blanks etc. I could not find a gif for Super Why!

Yo Gabba Gabba!

Best Netflix Canada Shows for Preschoolers - Yo Gabba Gabba!

My daughter is a HUGE Yo Gabba Gabba! fan but honestly I am not too into this show. She loves to dance along to the songs and I like how the show encourages kids to be active but otherwise the show confuses me. Yo Gabba Gabba! showcases individuality and doing what you love. 

Bubble Guppies

Best Netflix Canada Shows for Preschoolers - Bubble Guppies 

Bubble Guppies follows a group of preschool mer-people throughout their day. Each episode has a theme and a huge emphasis on routine and time is place in the show. Bubble Guppies is a very light hearted show with silly jokes and situations. 

Okay, let’s hear it. What are your favouite Netflix Canada shows for preschoolers. Or which ones can you not stand?
