10 Best Kids Shows on Amazon Prime 2024

Is your child growing tired of their usual shows? Are you worried they’re spending too much time on YouTube Kids or TikTok?

We’ve got you covered! Here’s a list of the 10 best kids' shows on Amazon Prime–because children deserve quality content too!

Paw Patrol

You might have already seen the Paw Patrol movie, where these adorable dogs and cats turn into superheroes. However, the story began with the popular TV show.

Paw Patrol follows Ryder, a boy who leads a team of rescue dogs as they save their community from various challenges–whether it’s a stuck kitten or a neighbor with a broken stove. It’s an excellent show for teaching children about teamwork, friendship, helping others, and community.

Bluey

While most animated shows for kids today use 3D animation, Bluey stands out with its 2D format, giving it a fresh look that also offers a nostalgic vibe for parents.

The series follows Bluey, a puppy, as she navigates daily life with her family. Instead of grand adventures or heroic rescues, Bluey focuses on relatable family interactions and everyday moments. The show beautifully portrays family dynamics and teaches kids empathy, social connection, and the importance of supporting each other.

Star Trek: Prodigy

Star Trek: Prodigy is exactly what it sounds like–an animated Star Trek series for a younger audience.

Fans of the original Star Trek (see: us) will appreciate that these young characters are neither shallow nor infantilized; they fit seamlessly into the Star Trek universe. The show is filled with creative storytelling, mysteries, and ethical dilemmas that encourage young viewers to think critically while staying age-appropriate.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur

Straight from Marvel Comics, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur follows the story of Lunella Lafayette and her companion, Devil Dinosaur, as they embark on heroic adventures.

Although an animated series, it targets slightly older kids. Lunella is 13 years old, and her adventures, along with her experiences of friendship, school, and self-discovery, resonate with pre-teens.

Lunella is a smart, silly, and sassy girl who loves science and has the desire to make a difference in the world. She’s curious and adventurous, and the show highlights the importance of seeking knowledge and using that power for good.

Most importantly, she’s not a cookie-cutter female character and is unapologetic about being her unique self, sending a powerful message to audiences her age.

Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures

It’s never too early to introduce your little ones to Star Wars! This animated, fun, and lighthearted series is specifically marketed toward younger kids and toddlers.

It features all the elements of a great kids' show: colorful graphics, lovable characters, and valuable lessons on friendship and heroism.

Bonus for parents: If you're a fan of the High Republic era, this is also great material to enjoy!

Rosie’s Rules

The only bilingual show on our list, Rose’s Rules is a story told in both English and Spanish about a Mexican American girl and her adventures as she learns about everyday things and explores life through the eyes of a preschooler.

In the show, we follow Rosie as she discovers how things work, like the mail system (and why she shouldn’t mail her cat) and how our food travels all the way from the farm to the grocery store and finally to our dining tables.

It also showcases Mexican culture (which has many similarities to our own Filipino culture) and imparts bite-sized lessons on geography, economics, and history.

All Creatures Great and Small

Do you have pets in the family? If so, your kid will love this show! All Creatures Great and Small is a remake based on beloved books, so your child might recognize it.

The story follows James, a young veterinary surgeon in the 1930s, and his vet friends and family who work alongside him. Together, they help all kinds of animals and learn more about themselves and each other.

This show isn’t as action-packed as the others on our list; rather, it’s a soothing, healing experience. Set in the countryside, with a plot centered around helping animals, this show will teach your children about family, community, and the importance of connecting with both animals and humans alike.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous

Is it just me, or does it seem like there's a trend of taking existing material originally marketed for adults and creating kid-friendly versions while staying true to what the original has established?

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is one of those shows. It’s an animated series where the characters travel to an island inhabited by dinosaurs and embark on adventures with their friends.

While the animation is cute, the show’s lessons and themes can run deep. It explores not only friendship, teamwork, and resilience but also betrayal and loss, addressing how to cope with these experiences.

So, while it isn’t necessarily rated PG, you might want to lend a shoulder or a listening ear when things get emotional for your kids.

Young Sheldon

Young Sheldon has been popular for years now, so you’ve probably heard of it somewhere. But in case you haven’t, it’s a spin-off of The Big Bang Theory. It follows Sheldon as a kid, giving us insight into his family!

We see the young genius navigate everyday life as someone who doesn’t quite fit in. But it isn’t all bad for him. He grows in a loving, albeit imperfect, family and navigates his world as an awkward, out-of-place kid.

Despite this, Sheldon remains confident and comfortable in his own skin, never trying to change himself to fit the mold. Alongside Sheldon, we also see his siblings navigate their own lives and share their struggles.

Overall, Young Sheldon is a good, funny watch for the whole family that teaches the importance of family love, support, being there for each other, and enjoying just being a kid.

Note: The later seasons are PG-rated, so be sure to watch with your kids or wait until they are mature enough.

Sesame Street

Did you really think we would end this list without including at least one classic? Of course not!

Sesame Street has always been known as the children’s show that teaches inclusivity and acceptance. Its diverse cast of Muppets comes from different backgrounds and cultures, and their stories revolve around cross-cultural friendships and mutual tolerance.

Over the years, Sesame Street has continued to expand its cast, introducing characters like Julia, an autistic Muppet, and TJ, a Filipino Muppet! In whatever size, shape, personality quirk, or cultural background, your kid is sure to find a Muppet that resonates with them.

And that’s all we have for the 10 best kids' shows on Amazon Prime! Have you or your kids seen any on our list? Which ones are you checking out? Let us know in the comments!
