The Best Shows For Preschoolers On Hulu To Stream For Your Little Ones

This mostly dialogue-free story of the adventures of a bunny and his chick friend is the kind of show that fans of extreme cuteness will really like, but kids who crave more emotional complexity (there are those, even before puberty) may find boring. Either way, it's pretty stress-free to stream.

This classic is a personal fave, as Doc, a young girl with natural curiosity, learns from her physician mom how to heal her various stuffed animals and toys. It's so adorable to watch and one of those quality kid shows you can also sit down with your little one and enjoy, too.

This kid crowd-pleaser about a curious monkey who always means well but tends to get into mischief is a great addition to Hulu, and perfect for days when you want to at least hope your kid is retaining something educational from his or her day of chilling at home.

This singular children's show, a hallmark of many parents' own early childhoods, somehow still has the magic. Set on an inner-city New York street, the human and muppet residents of the neighborhood teach preschool subjects using comedy, cartoons, songs, and literally every huge celebrity guest star ever, from Michelle Obama on. Best of all, young minds can marathon this with as little parental guilt as possible.

This cute story is about Ruff-Ruff, a puppy, Tweet, a fluffy yellow bird, and Dave, a quirky blue panda, as they embark on adventures in which they discover new lands, find their way out of mazes and make discoveries. I like this one in particular for the British accents, which makes a mom's busy day just a little more fun.

If your kids like zoo animals like zebras, this show will be for them. Zou, a 5-year-old zebra, lives in a town full of zebras with his family, his best friend, Elzee, right next door. A cute choice you might not have even known was on Hulu.

A show geared for the pre-school age group, this classic kid's program is full of music, songs, and dance, and, of course, fun Australian accents. Worth a view.

This show, orginally from Disney Jr., traces the life of a 5-year-old monster from a close family that includes his dad, mom, and three siblings, plus a dose of life experience that always culminates in Henry figuring out how to save the day. A cute treat for preschoolers who like Monsters, Inc.

Nina’s World tells the tale of 6-year-old Nina and friend Star as they explore their neighborhood and investigate such ideas as family, community, and cultural diversity. A great choice to mix things up after hours of Sesame Street.

This story of a boy who discovers a magical world in the woods behind his home allows a regular kid to imagine what life would be like as a superhero, accompanied by an animated sidekick named Twigs. The show includes dance steps and movement for kids to get up and follow along, so stream this one when there's been too much couch-potato'ing.

Pocoyo, adapted from the Spanish-speaking version, likes to dance and play with his elephant friend, Elly. If a kid loves Dora, this series will probably be right up his or her alley.

These French-language adaptions of childhood classic songs from the animated version of the cuddly giraffe stuffed animal are charming to watch, and hey, a little immersion to other languages never hurt a kid.

This animated tale about how things work will be perfect for your junior scientist. The main characters are young engineers who learn by doing things themselves, and making plenty of mistakes along the way. The show includes basic math skills, engineering, environmental awareness, and safety instructions for young viewers, who are also reminded about the value of teamwork.

The series follows the adventures of five real trucks (with the addition of animated eyes and personalities) as they take on jobs within their communities and deal with both mechanics, and the mechanics of getting along in a group. I can see plenty of dads (and moms) I know enjoying this one almost as much as their kids.

This tale of a group of friends who live in a snowy village and learn the challenges of working together and maintaining their friendships no matter what is the perfect snow-day solution, when everyone is stuck inside and starting to fight.

The animal crew of a spaceship finds all sorts of challenges, and solutions, as they travel the galaxy. You know, kind of like what Star Wars would be for kids if it didn't have killing, evil and a bit of making out. So just stick with this for now, okay?

A friendly quartet of musical instruments including a drum, guitar, and violin get to meet other musical instruments from foreign countries and experiment with musical sounds in this show, which feels a litte more on the "educational" side than some shows, hence you can stream away free of concern.

This show might make you set aside your work, or housework, and sit and watch with your kids: Rosaline is billed as the first fairytale for kids incorporating LGBTQ themes.

This show has a Teletubbies-like feel as a group of stuffed-animal creatures, the Cuddlies, include two friends, Tulli and Billy Bam Bam, who have to find creative ways to play and learn while engaging in such tasks as baking. Perfect for younger preschool crowd.

This Hulu original show is unique: Based on the children’s book by Daniel Errico, The Bravest Knight Who Ever Lived, the series chronicles two royal dads, a daughter of color who wants to become a knight, and the idea that people, and families, come in all shapes, sizes. Sir Cedric, in sharing the story of how he became a knight, teaches his daughter Nia that bravery is about a lot more than she thought. The series features the voice talents of T.R. Knight, RuPaul, and Wanda Sykes. I'm personally in for this one, forget the kids.

This show looks like just the thing for younger ones: Sophie the wind-up doll, Hippa the Hippo, and Bow Wow the Dog are pals who solve puzzles and play sorting games and other brain teasers, as a narrator details the action.

This tale about a happy band of crayons who enjoy a series of funny stories will play fantasically with the younger preschool crowd, and is the kind of show where its sheer cute innocence will give you piece of mind.

A show about animated vegetables who piece themselves together into the shape of different water animals isn't your typical superhero stuff, and kids who crave something a bit outside the box will dig this highly-creative show.
