I have a confession to make. This isn’t just any review… this is a posting by a mom who feels she has found one of the best services ever! If you haven’t heard about the Kidoodle.TV yet, then I am thrilled and honoured that I will be the one who will be telling you about this exceptional service!
Disclosure: I am part of the Kidoodle.TV blogger program with Mom Central Canada and I receive special perks as part of my affiliation with this group. The opinions on this blog are my own.
My Kidoodle.TV Review
Kidoodle.TV is an ad-free, safe, video streaming service. However, this isn’t just ANY video streaming service. Let me tell you what makes Kidoodle.TV so special (I feel some bullet points coming on)….
* Kidoodle.TV showcases ad-free television programs for little (and big) kids.
* You can create up to 5 user profiles on Kidoodle.TV.
* Your children can choose an avatar to personalize their section of Kidoodle.TV.
* Within each user profile you, the parent, can choose which shows each child can watch. You can set up the content based upon your child’s age or based upon individual shows you want your child(ren) to watch.
* The adult sets a time limit for viewing time! Once the time limit is up, viewing immediately ends!
* Kidoodle.TV can be watched anywhere on a computer, mobile device, or tablet (you just need internet access).
* Kidoodle.TV has free apps available through the App Store and Google Play
* Kidoodle.TV is password protected so the parent can have complete control over the shows, settings, and time limits.
* As a homeschooling mom, I love the variety of educational programs (In Space, National Geographic Critter Cam, Underwater World For Kids, and National Geographic Full Length Adventures… just to name a few).
* There is a fabulous catalog of television shows which are completely ad-free.
After trying Kidoodle.TV for a week, our family was hooked. I loved that I could set a time limit of 45 minutes and that 45 minutes is actually 45 minutes. Also, I’m not the one shutting off the program… it shuts off on its own.
I also love the user profiles. My husband and I set up a “Parents” account because we wanted to watch a selection of shows that appealed to us (i.e. Jem and the Holograms, Inspector Gadget, Conan The Adventurer, George of the Jungle, Transformers, and GI Joe). Yes… there are some awesome retro television programs on Kidoodle.TV. and I am ecstatic that my daughter will get to watch one of my childhood favourites… Strawberry Shortcake!
We are so pleased with Kidoodle.TV that we cancelled our family channels with our cable provider. Kidoodle.TV really meets our needs (and it’s $4.01 less per month than our cable provider’s family channel package).

Looks like a great service, I’d love to be the one not to have to turn off Dora sometimes!!! Great idea! xx
Oh Meg, I am seriously hooked on this service! I’m loving watching Jem and the Holograms (does that say something about my age or what?!)
xoxo
I just posted a review of the Captivated DVD, talking about how much media is too much. Come on by, if you’re interested! :) http://grtlyblesd.blogspot.com/2014/03/captivated-dvd.html
I’ll pop by and check it out. What I especially like about the Kidoodle.TV service is the ability to put time limits on programs, no ads, and to have the ability to choose the programs you like!
Hi Jennifer! I’m going to check out their website to learn a bit more about them. I’m really curious about what kinds of programs they offer. We currently have Netflix and it’s difficult sometimes to find teen friendly shows that don’t constantly have to “beep” words out.
Clara, they have a 14 day trial (with no credit card needed to sign up). I love the educational programs they offer!
I want this for adults!! I would love to set my husband’s t.v. time limit and I would watch along if there were no ads! lol
Oh you’re so funny! lol
She isn’t lying. I did the campaign for this and have a subscription and I love it. I hope you’re having a great week. I’ve had complications from my surgery so have been taking it easy which is why you don’t see blog posts daily anymore but I really appreciate you stopping by. :)
I’m so sorry to hear you haven’t been well. I think of you often and you’re in my prayers for healing. Take care of yourself.
xoxo
This sounds super cool! I love that it has a timer too, Piggie needs that!
Jessica, I LOVE this service. Seriously. My husband and I have been watching retro cartoons, there’s no struggle to get my daughter to stop watching her shows, and it’s really affordable!
Never heard of this before. A timer could be handy. Separate profiles are great. :)

I love all the features of this service. It’s really brilliant. I can see this service becoming very popular!
Well this is pretty darn cool! I love that there’s a timer! I’m wishing I had a Canadian residence right now. ;)
You should try the 14 day trial! I love that it didn’t require a credit card to try it out. As an American, you can still order the service and enter their Facebook giveaway… you just can’t enter the contest.
I love it! Seriously hooked on Jem and the Holograms.
I love Jem and the Holograms too! Have you heard they make a movie based on it? Anyway, I am signing up for the trial. The timer and commercial free features sound perfect for our family. Thanks!
My husband told me they were making a movie based on it! Too cool! Enjoy your free trial. It’s a fabulous service and my family loves it!
Sounds cool! Count us in!
It’s an awesome service Mia! We love it!
there are no ads and its safe
I love those features too!
