12 of the Best Shows For Babies and Toddlers That You Can Stream on Hulu Now

Everett Collection

I have no problem with my toddler watching TV. It's fun, it's educational, and it keeps him busy for long stretches of time, which gives me a nice break. But what I'm not OK with is him watching the same show over and over again, which means I also have to watch it over and over again. Even the best TV shows (I'm looking at you, Sesame Street) can still get a little tiresome after a while. When you start singing the theme song to yourself when your toddler isn't around, it might be time for something new.

Thankfully, Hulu has a whole selection of children's shows that will shake up their TV-viewership. These educational shows encourage preschool readiness, friendships, and creative play. Read through to see them all now, and get ready to press "Play."
