items We don't let our kid have lots of screen time but also, she's a very outdoors kid naturally and refuses to be inside if she can :) when we're inside, we try to put on things that we can possibly all engage in or where we are singing/learning songs to... We also don't want to see uncomfortable subject matters if possible and focus on learning matter, like language or pre-school learning. Hope any of this helps when you need!

TV content
You can probably find something wrong with every show, these are just a few that we don't see much content added, outside of learning or songs. They keep her engaged, have new content added, can usually teach her things that involve real life. We don't usually watch tv, it's limted because she loves going outside and could probably live there! But just in case anyone wants a few rec's, here it is!
Super Simple is very cute, they have TONS of content. The songs are catchy, they show variety, they teach preschool stuff and our kids find it very engaging. I don't see anything alarming or political on there, which is what I try and look for
Super Simple
Danny Go is original, does his own content, has catchy songs, and kids can follow along. It's engaging and again, nothing political and alarming. Very clean content
Danny Go!
This is a family show, the brothers created the content and they get family/children to help with the songs and scenes for learning. They are fun, have catchy music, do pretty cool graphics, and while it's not all learning stuff, it's engaging and fun. We find ourselves singing the songs all the time
The Mik Maks
The Wiggles is an older show that is still going. You can find the originals on Youtube and then the new group. They have very catchy songs, have characters and a variety for all kids. It's not centered on learning so to say, although they have learning songs, but it's more on the entertainment side to be fun. Nothing political, just wholesome songs
The Wiggles
Bounce Patrol was appearing on Wiggles and that's how we found them. They more on the entertaining side as well, not meant for exact teaching but they're fun, have their own songs, they're always dressed up and it's things we all sing as a family.
Bounce Patrol - Kids Songs
This series is cute because they will do real life play and learning, so it's usually something kids can relate too. There's lot of teaching in here, for classroom, Bible and real life learning
Christian Videos for Kids | Playing with Sand Toys | Toddler Learning Video
This is such a cute show and lots of learning in relation to the Bible. It's engaging for kids, mostly easy to understand (we still need to be there) and it's learning for everyone in house. Can make you cry every now and then :)
🔴 12 AMAZING Kids Bible Stories from Genesis to Jesus! | 60 Minutes of Bible Stories for Kids
They are more on the entertaining side as well, they do learning things as well but most content is to sing/entertain and engage. The songs are catchy, they do a lot of their own content and you'll find a lot of people trying to copy their stuff as well. They don't put inappropriate content in there, just fun for family
D Billions
I love Veggie Tales. They have very cute messages, cute songs, teachings of Bible and how to act to others. My daughter doesn't engage as much at times, some songs and shows she likes but then others she won't care at all. It's still a wholesome show to put on and talk to her about
VeggieTales – God Made You Special and He Loves You Very Much
She doesn't have TONS of content but the videos she has, are fun and engaging. She does Bible teachings, has other characters involved and sings, easy for whole family to sing along and learn
60 Minutes of Songs & Learning with the Bible! ✝️ | Christian Learning for Toddlers
I am on the fence with this because I haven't watched all the videos and the content is a little different but we ended up enjoying it. I think it's from England so the slang can be off at times but overall, we have several songs we sing and it's a u... Overall, we don't see bad content in here, just different :)
Hooray Kids Songs & Nursery Rhymes
This is a cute show, they do learning shows but also color ones that are fun to watch. We won't keep this on long because they don't do a lot of talking once the crayons come on, and I'd rather there be verbal learning, but a show or two when it comes on are cute

Games
I try to find games that are education, free and no ads. It's limited out there without purchasing and we don't spend a lot of time on games because she'd rather be outside and we agree. For the games she plays, these are always fun. Otherwise, we're doing other stuff!
Lucas and friends are a show on TV but also have a few apps that are free with no ads. It's preschool learning and it's not slow to where the kids lose attention but not fast either to be annoying.

Fox and sheep are so cute! They have a free, no ad version that lets the kids engage in putting the animals to sleep. Another is the firetruck, ad free. Then they have others that start to cost but for the two above, it's always fun to play!
Fox and Sheep
This app is free, ad-free but limited use. For the free that it gives, it's fun because it's not spamy and lets the kids do a few things. My daughter does click to do the paid for stuff sometimes and gets annoyed but we focus on feeding the Caterpillar pears and apples and she loves
