I discovered this a while ago and my kids all love it - very different than what they're accustomed to watching, which is a nice change

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say: (6 ):
Kids say: Not yet rated

You may question whether any preschooler really needs a Web-based television station, but the creator of BunnyEars.tv established the site in order to recapture some of the warm, fuzzy feelings she experienced as a young child growing up in Hungary. (She also was looking for something -- anything! -- to help lull her own child to sleep.) Back then, children’s cartoons were shown only at bedtime and nearly all Hungarian children with a TV watched a cartoon just before bedtime. The site features a collection of charming, decades-old children’s series from around the world with silly, kid-friendly titles like Chapi Chapo and Bagpuss. New episodes of the animated series are added each week. The site itself has a soothing, earthy feel to it, and users can select from quaint animated videos or audio stories and even some gentle folk songs from Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie and others.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Why storytime with a parent is soothing for young kids. How does keeping a nightly routine before bedtime help prepare kids physically and mentally for sleep? Whether videos or other media are appropriate ways to close out a young child’s day.

  • Different ways stories can be told. What types of stories do you hear, see or play in your life? How do stories you see or hear help your own imagination? Do preschoolers need television, computers or other media to stimulate their imaginations?

  • How it can be fun to watch video bedtime stories, but it’s also important to get stories from different places like books and family members. Why is it important to limit how much screen time (computer, television or otherwise) young children have each day?

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
