Here Are 8 Toddler-Friendly TV Shows With Black Main Characters That My 3-Year-Old And I Love To Watch Together


Where to watch: PBS Kids

Why to watch: Phoebe and Jay is a brand new offering about fraternal twins Phoebe and Jay that promotes literacy (think lots of labels, signs, posters and more) for toddlers with each episode. My toddler had memorized the theme song by our second viewing and now we have a full on dance party every time we watch. We also played “talent show” for hours during the recent blizzard after watching the “Talent Show” episode. So much fun! It’s truly been such a great addition for us. 

Phoebe and Jay is also the last show to receive funding from PBS’ Read to Learn initiative (which offers creative educational media and resources for kids, and helped fund shows like Sesame Street, Clifford the Big Red Dog, Molly of Denali, and Lyla in the Loop, just to name a few) after devastating cuts.
