We downloaded the PBS Kids app to DD's IPad - she loves Odd Squad. She is 6 and half.

I don't think there is much educational value to anything on PBS kids - but at least we know its a SAFE way for the kids to access entertainment the internet.

But IF Odd Squad has value, it is in the "word problems" math it presents "I REALLY need to go to the mathroom!" DD's math homework seems to be mostly word problems (common core maybe?)

4yo seems to love it, but don't think he completely understands it.

My 8 year old DS loves it, has a season pass to record episodes. He also likes that song!

And we're all singing "Up, down, left, right. I'm gonna move my feet tonight. And dance like nobody's watching." Need to download that song!!

(Frequently changing words to "I'm gonna brush my teeth tonight.")


I am singing that damn song, too!

My 6 year old loves this show. We just discovered it a few months ago. My son mentions a lot of math stuff from the show.


It's better than having that Potato song they sing stuck in your head.

My 6.5 and almost 8 year old LOVE Odd Squad. Sometimes the topics they cover pair up quite nicely with what they're covering in math. They also love Word Girl (another very well done PBS show).

(He liked Ruff Ruffman too.)

You should also check out Cyber Chase. It's excellent.

My 7 year old really likes Odd Squad, and he is very aware of things that are considered too babyish.
