We bought a few episodes on iTunes so that we wouldn't have to rely on internet connection. Dh and I actually like the "dance" and "eat" episodes. She is more into bubble guppies, Daniel tiger and frozen now, but yo gabba gabba was her first love ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820697 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:59:39 +0000 78h2o 1820697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Curious George and Sesame Street were the ones that worked with her when traveling at 18 months.. Yes, she is obsessed with Elmo...I don't know what it is about him! (On the plus side, she stopped fighting diaper changes when I pointed out her diapers had Elmo on them, lol. "George" is a hit too. She likes the Fisher Price free apps, but hasn't been into apps lately. She's 20 months now. I showed her Wonder Pets yesterday for the first time and she liked it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820676 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:28:37 +0000 travelgirl1 1820676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: That video - doesn't it stick in your head so you find yourself randomly bursting into "brush brush, brush brush brushy brush"? - was the start of A's obsession with Elmo :shocked: Totally my fault!</p> <p>@allison: The Baby Einstein animal videos have been a lifesaver for us. I agree with pps about Frozen and anything with Elmo on. Good luck with the journey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820672 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 22:18:57 +0000 Beehive 1820672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 21 months on our last trip, but he loved Wee Alphas and Peek a Zoo. Endless Alphabet was too advanced for him, he doesn't get it yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820623 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 21:35:28 +0000 birdofafeather 1820623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>bubble guppies is like crack for Row. it's ridic.</p> <p>@coacheswife123: gonna check out those animal apps! R loves animals and animal noises now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820612 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 21:28:11 +0000 yoursilverlining 1820612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Elmo ABC app is awesome - it has video, a place where they can "color" (using their fingers on the screen), etc. some stuff you'll have to do for your LO, but much of it is good for an 18 month old.</p> <p>The monster at the end of the book app - more Elmo. </p> <p>Bloom is a great app for kids </p> <p>The Disney movie app is good, in part because you don't need wifi/internet access to access your movies. My LO loved pooh and jungle book at around 18 months</p> <p>Also, "talking ginger kitty" is a big hit in our house. It's an orange cat who repeats to your child whatever they say to the cat. There are also some game type activities with the kitty, but the talking part is the best part. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820589 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 20:52:42 +0000 AprilFool 1820589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mickey Mouse clubhouse is a HUGE hit in our house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820502 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:48:47 +0000 lovehoneybee 1820502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: E insists on sleeping with TWO Elmo dolls in his crib! He will throw a fit if they aren't both there! And lately, the only way I can get him to brush his teeth/let me brush them is to watch the Elmo teeth-brushing video--like 5 times in a row. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820497 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:47:10 +0000 matador84 1820497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loved Blues Clues and Elmo's Works at that age. I just downloaded kids videos from the iTunes Store for our road trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820483 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:40:15 +0000 allison 1820483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: Not gonna bet on internet access, seeing as we're driving through rural Kansas and the like. I'll check out those show, though, thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820477 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:35:16 +0000 pl0508 1820477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: ohhh J loves super why too! </p> <p>I forgot we did pay for the egg heads app. There are a ton of animals ! </p> [attach=2510/14/nah8as.400x600.image.jpg] [attach=2510/14/nah8au.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820476 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:35:11 +0000 photojane 1820476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Will you have internet access? If so, I recommend the PBS app. Sadie is 18m and can scroll through and pick what she wants to watch. It's super easy to use. If you have Disney at home, the Watch Disney Jr app is great too.</p> <p>If no internet access, I would put some movies and TV shows into your iTunes account. Every kid loves Frozen. Toy Story is a big hit here, and Sadie especially like the shorts (Partysaurus Rex, Toy Story of Terror, etc.) - they're good lengths for toddlers. As for TV shows, try Bubble Guppies, Peppa Pig, Dinosaur Train, and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820475 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:35:04 +0000 allison 1820475@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Thanks! He loves animals, so I bet he'll like those apps!</p> <p>@lovehoneybee: seriously, WTF is it with Elmo? He's never even seen the show, but he has a couple tiny books with Elmo and has seen album cover art on Pandora with Elmo, and he gets soooo excited when he sees him! So bizarre, to me. I'm a little scared to try Sesame Street for this reason (fear of obsession). Ha!</p> <p>Thanks for the other suggestions, too. I'll try them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820462 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:29:00 +0000 lovehoneybee 1820462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At that age E wasn't really much into Daniel Tiger (he is now) but he LOVED Super Why and Sesame Street (specifically, any/everything with Elmo...). </p> <p>For movies, he loves The Muppets (the Jason Segel one), Frozen (Olaf...), and a TMBG Here Comes Science (a series of animated songs about science). </p> <p>For apps he mostly plays the Endless series (Alphabet, Reader and 123). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820459 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:28:00 +0000 pl0508 1820459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J likes Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Also all these apps are lifesavers for us ! I downloaded like 2738373 because they are all the lite version and only have like 4 animals each . All the peek-a-zoo apps are great and have taught him to identify crazy animals like walrus and mandrill! </p> [attach=2510/14/nah7yo.400x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-tv-showsmoviesapps-should-i-download-for-my-18-month-old#post-1820448 Sun, 17 Aug 2014 19:11:33 +0000 allison 1820448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Driving across the country in a couple weeks, and I need some recommendations for the iPad.</p> <p>He doesn't currently get any regular screen time, but we just drove 8 hours and it went HORRIBLY. We even did the new-toy-every-hour thing. Except it turned into new-toy-every-3-minutes. Also tried driving through the night. No dice. The iPhone worked the best, so we're getting an iPad and headrest mount for the drive.</p> <p>All that to say, I don't really know what he likes when it comes to screen time, beyond the random animal YouTube video. He didn't love Daniel Tiger on the drive home. Liked, but not loved.</p> <p>I need some help, so that I can maintain my sanity. </p>
