If you're talking about only TV, Maddie (aged 3) is into Wonderpets and Diego. I think she likes the animals & the idea of rescuing or saving people/trees in trouble.

I've read it was a security issue at the age of 3-4 when they become more aware of their surroundings & lose that sense of safety. They're aware they can get hurt, others can hurt them.

For the same reason, Joseph was into superheroes and superpowers for the very same reason at the same age. He's now into war, space & science related things now.

Outside of TV, they are both into Webkinz (stuffed animal with an interactive code for a website.) They like playing the games, helping answer the question & most importantly buying stuff for their pets rooms. All of their friends are into it as well.

Why do I like the things they do?
Wonderpets has a cute premise, I love listening to her singing the songs. I like the rhyming & the way they use teamwork to rescue everyone.

I like the superhero thing because it makes them feel safer temporarily. I do worry that Joseph thinks he can trick a stranger or fight them if "they try to take me". That part scares me.

David -almost 4- Cars (in ANY form... movie, cars, toys, pictures, books, etc....), Backyardigans, The Upside Down Show, Handy Manny, and a few others.

We like shows that foster something educational. Cars is car oriented, so I like that fact, he's memorizing lines from the movie, and re-enacting scenes.
Backyardigans has a lot of songs he likes and sings along with, plus it fosters pretending.
The Upside Down Show fosters a lot of pretend play.
Handy Manny emphasizes teamwork, some Spanish, and fixing things.
