| My kid loves Shaun the Sheep, and thought it has no redeeming educational value, I do like the slower pace of the claymation. And the episodes are really funny. I'd say it is for older preschoolers, though - my son got into it at about 4.5 or 5. |

Franklin is a turtle, and he has some other animal friends he interacts with. I would say the show is similar to Little Bear or Berenstein Bears in terms of its storylines/level of action. |

ditto pp's recommendation of the leapfrog videos, specifically the letter factory one.
My kids also love Word World. |

| OP here, thanks everyone! So helpful! We have Netflix streaming (and DVDs) and I added several to our queue thanks to you. I also appreciate the book recommendation and article about Blue's Clues--very interesting, I will check it out. |

| Something 'old-fashioned' that tells a story, like HEIDI or SINDBAD or WICKIE THE VIKING -the Japanese cartoons. Probably noone here knows what I'm talking about... I'm sorry. I don't even know if they show these anywhere ... they have no fast cuts or crazy action at all. |

| My 3 year old loves the original Paddington Bear shows. |

| I can totally recommend Pocoyo, as another PP did! Also check out Pingu (originally Italian, I think). Pingu has no actual language in it: it's mostly emotional expressions and physical humor. Nice and slow. |
