Kidoodle.TV: Television Made for Kids, Loved By Parents. Here’s Why! Enter to WIN a 1-Year Subscription! #KidoodleMom
Kidoodle.TV.
Made for kids, loved by parents.
This is the digital age. My girls are growing up when everything is digital and on a small or big screen. They want to watch more and more TV and I am fine with it only under the conditions that I know what they are watching, that what they watch is educational to a degree and that they are having fun too.
One of my biggest challenges is controlling the amount of time that they spend on their devices. Mimi can use her iPad like a grown person and Gabby is a little techy herself. So, controlling the amount of time is a bit of a challenge that we have tried working around.
Another fear of what they watch on cable, well, that’s another story. There’s questionable advertisements on TV, previews of shows that air later at night that are violent or inappropriate. Even with filters in place, you can still see questionable titles while they search for their shows.
Enter Kidoodle TV.
Ever since we’ve tried Kidoodle.TV, both of my girls have been hooked. I love the fact that I can control what they watch (not that I needed to do anything, Kidoodle.TV has awesome titles) and distribute the amount to time that they are on it as well. Both girls have different profiles that are customizable (up to FIVE) and are only accessible when I put in the pass code. The Parents Room allows me to be in control.
- Kidoodle.TV is a safe, ad-free streaming video service that you can customize for your kids according to your, and their, preferences
- Make up to 5 custom kids’ profiles. Choose content based on your child’s age or on a show-by-show basis
- Time limits can be placed on viewing through the secure Parents Room, allowing families to balance the time spent on Kidoodle.TV with other important activities
- Watch Kidoodle.TV on the go – just need access to the Web
- Kidoodle.TV has safe, kids-only content, including retro content from your childhood like Jem and the Holograms and Inspector Gadget
Nostalgia to The Max!
Gabby is loving all the shows that she can watch on her tablet, she asks me every night to watch Kidoodle.TV and I set an allotted time for her and off she goes. Some of the titles she is enjoying is Jem and The Holograms, Life, Inspector Gadget and Johnny Test to name a few. You can see her show you a little preview of Kidoodle.TV in the video above!
Perfect for Travel.

Need a Device?
Kidoodle.TV is giving away 3 iPad Minis RIGHT NOW, just go to their Facebook page to enter, here. Kidoodle.TV is a great service, it is kid-approved and parent-approved. I fell in love with the fact that I know what and how much they’re watching and that they are being introduced to shows that I watched as a kid. It’s heartwarming.
Worried about streaming and the costs?
I was worried that while Kidoodle.TV is extremely affordable, that the streaming may cost me more on my internet bill. I contacted tech support for Kidoodle.TV to enquire how my usage would affect this and the quality that may run up my bill. Jared from Kidoodle.TV was amazing, he helped me calculate how much I could watch each day and which device.
So, rest easy.
According to my monthly GB allowance from my provider and all 4 devices that would use Kidoodle.TV, I’d have to watch A LOT to actually go over my allowance.
I’d have to use over 15 hours a day to go over my allowance, of course this is catered to my devices and the amount of gigs I pay for my internet provider. It will vary according to your situation, if you are unsure, you can always contact them. They are so helpful and prompt!

This is exciting! I tried out Kidoodle a long time ago when it was in Beta testing and I loved it. but it was really limited on the TV shows it offered. I would love to try it again to see if the show choices have expanded!
I live Angela Anaconda and Wayside School myself!!
My recent post A Heavenly Treat: Fiber One Caramel Sea Salt 90 Calorie Bars *Available only at Target
JEM!! You sold me right there! 😉
They need MORE old-school stuff like Laff-A-Lympics!
This looks like it is a great idea for the kids. I know I used to spend a lot of time worrying about what they would see on television. Too much questionable stuff that sneaks in no matter how closely I monitored.
KidoodleTV is awesome! All four of my kids love it and I love how kid-friendly it is and the variety of shows.
I really love how much control parents have over this. Kids (and adults) don't realize how much time is slipping away when we get caught up things we like.
My recent post The Bones of It #ViactivYoursAndHers
This looks so cool! We could use an iPad mini in our house. My kids love all the shows on KidoodleTv
we don't have any tablets at our house..but if we did I would totally get this for my daughter!

I am the crazy anal cartoon mom. My boys still don't get to watch superhero shows because there is to much violence. I recently ordered my boys Gummy Bears on DVD because it was one of my favorite cartoons growing up!

Wow, this sounds so wonderful for kiddos. This is my first time hearing about Kidoodle TV and totally love that they're giving away iPads! Whoo hoo!
My recent post Do You Forget To Buy Things On Your Shopping List too?
My favorite would have to be Inspector Gadget.
I would have to say "Saved By the Bell". Loved it :).
My favorite Old School TV Show was probably Saved By the Bell!
This is a very nice and productive way for kids to spend their time. Instead of violent video games, parents should encourage their kids to play this game. 🙂
I love that it is ad free. What a great option!
I should seriously look into getting this for when we travel. The kids would love this!
I keep hearing about this Kidoodle TV, it sounds fantastic for the kids! I told my sister about it and she is going to set it up for my nieces and nephew!

I recently heard about this, this sounds like a wonderful way to keep kids safe from regular t.v. what a great idea!
Kidoodle TV is great! My daughter likes it a lot.
My recent post A Fun Day at the Bangor Garden Show
My favourite old school show would be GI Joe
I love Jem!
We have a subscription for our two youngest. I like that they can have their own profile.
My recent post Interview With Anthony Mackie “Falcon” From Captain America: The Winter Soldier (Video & Photos)
We just signed up this week for a 2 week trial and I immediately logged on and watched an episode of Jem!! It was awesome. Then I created profiles for all 3 of my kids ages 9 (boy) – who has almost breezed through all the Sonic the Hedgehog shows, and my girls 7 and 4. I love that I can set the age parameters; although really, it is all seems like good titles. But the best is the time limits I can set — and we've made use of them.
But it was pretty cool to sit and watch Jem with my girls and be transported back to childhood myself!
I found there are not a lot of titles yet, but hopefully that is something that will come as it grows. Netflix has more titles – but I found that my kids can still get on the adult side because the profiles don't use passwords. All they have to do is click on the Adult icon. Due to that, Kidoodle would be a better choice in my opinion.
I like watching Scooby-Doo. It isn't available on Kidoodle yet, but hopefully soon. We've been watching a lot of My Little Pony and Sabrina lately. I love that with this service kids can watch age appropriate shows.
I don’t remember watching tv as a kid. For some reason Fraggle Rock just popped in my head!!! We signed up for the 4 week free trial. My son loves it. He could watch Rescue Bots and Transformers all day if I let him!
Rupert is one of my favourites!
