| The Who Was Show on Netflix. My DS loved it and is still upset at 9 yo that there won't be a second season. |

| Wild Kratts, Xavier Riddle, and Let's Go Luna are all PBS Kids shows that are huge hits with my 6yo DD. |

| My kindergartener likes Word World and my 2nd grader likes Magic School Bus (the newer one). |

| Both the old and new Magic School Bus are great. |

| Not explicitly educational in the same way as Wild Kratts or Word World, but Arthur. Also, Odd Squad which I appreciate for its weirdness and its math. |

| Puffin Rock, Waffles & Mochi, Ada Twist Scientist and StoryBots are big in our house. All Netflix. |

| Do you let them watch shows for fun? If so, just change the language settings. They'll learn a foreign language |

| Dino Dan/Dana and Wild Kratts were the top ones here. The Disney+ show about Animal Kingdom is also good. I don't think any animals died during that. Secrets of the Zoo is good but there is animal death, which can be hard for some kids that age. My kid could handle it once she hit 9. "Circle of Life mom" is what she'd say lol. |

Anything on PBS Kids
We liked Peg + Cal and Odd Squad (may be a touch too old for the 5 yo) |

Agree with all the PBS recs on here, especially Dino Dan/Dana and Wild Kratts. 6.5yo likes Odd Squad, 4.5yo not as much. Original Magic School Bus episodes on Netflix -- I think it's better than the reboot.
My 6.5yo also really likes the vet and zookeeper reality shows on Nat Geo and Discovery+. I usually watch those with him and occasionally mute/skip parts because they sometimes show surgery or discuss animal death. Also, How It's Made (I know it's on cable, not sure if you could find episodes on YouTube or something). |
