Deciding to give your kids a little bit of TV time only to realize that there aren’t any quality, age-appropriate shows on at the time can be such a frustrating experience for parents. Luckily, Kidoodle.TV, a smart new TV streaming service for kids ages 12 and under, lets parents control what kids watch and when they watch it.
Unlike other streaming services, Kidoodle.TV is completely designed with kids in mind, starting with a colourful and fun interface. As a parent, you can add up to five kids to the system so that everyone can log into their own customizable profile. Once logged into a kid’s profile, they can navigate through the programming themselves to access shows aimed at their age group or that fit within your own pre-set specifications. Your kids get the independence of choosing what they watch while you get the peace of mind that comes with knowing that they won’t be exposed to material that they’re not ready for. You can even set time limits so that you (and the kids) don’t lose track of their screen time.
And what can they choose from to watch? Kidoodle.TV is loaded with many of your kids’ favourite shows, including My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, Pound Puppies, Transformers, National Geographic, Adventures of Chuck and Friends, and many more, with new titles being added on a regular basis. Kidoodle.TV is mobile and is available on iOS devices — iPad and iPhone users are also able to stream directly to their Apple TV through AirPlay. Kidoodle.TV is also available on Android devices (2.3.3 and up).
You get all of this for the very family-friendly price of only $4.99 a month. Plus, Kidoodle.TV’s parent company, A Parent Media Co. Inc., is based right here in Calgary, which means you get to support a local business that is already making waves all across Canada and the U.S. Sign up now at Kidoodle.TV for a 14-day free trial (no credit card required) and discover TV built for kids but loved by parents.
