10. Dora The Explorer

The show features the ever smiling Dora who as the title suggest, takes young viewers on an adventure of learning through all kinds of puzzles that need to be solved, to be join by her talking purple bag pack and boot wearing monkey friend called 'Boots'. They will often need the viewers to help solve a puzzle and stop reoccurring bodies such as swiper and the grumpier troll. In the process, preschoolers are taught how to spell words and count their numbers and stop the grumpier troll in the process, which is pretty good because the grumpy old troll sounds like he sucks.

Since then the lover board gigantic dog has captured the imagination and hearts of hundreds of thousands of kids all round the world. Two 15 minutes stories, made of each half an hour episode. One story shot as Clifford adventures with his friends which Cleo and T-Bone and the other was from the prospective of Emily, Clifford's human owner.  Clifford is still loved around the world for teaching kids lessons about appreciating differences in everyone no matter who you are, even if you're 25 foot tall dog.

8. Bill Nye The Science Guy

Bill Nye first hit our screen in 1993, with the aim of teaching kids about all things in science, in a lighthearted and funny way. It all took place in a Nye Laboratory where kids were shown all kinds of scientific concept through incitement such as the 'Nifty Home Experiment' and mock song parodies that took pop tracks and turn them into scientific round up of the episode topping. Unfortunately, i didn't get to see this show in my Country but in research in this blog post, i got to see a few episode on the internet and i got 2 things to say A- I'm jealous of anyone who got to see it and B- If you haven't seen it check it out.

7. The Magic School Bus

It was based on a book series of the same name, and meant to teach kids about science in a fun way. In a small school, a teacher named Ms. Frizzle takes up people on field trips in the magic school bus. A magical vehicle which can go anywhere throughout space in time, no matter how big or small to explore the scientific lessons of each episode. But if you missed the show when you were a kid, fail not because this year Netflix announced they're gonna make a new series called the 'magic bus 360' just another reason why Netflix is literally the best invention ever.

6. Barney & Friends

There are just three things you need to know about Barney. 1. He is a dinosaur 2. He is purple and 3. He loves music. Every episode barney shared educational messages aimed at children age 1-8. It runned for an impressive 17 years. Barney had it own theme song called 'Barney is a Dinosaur' and he will end the show with the 'i love you' song . Throughout the series, the audience was also introduced to some of Barney's friends including 'Baby Bop' and her brother 'B.J'. 

5. Teletubbies

When the teletubbies hit TV screen back in 1997, they took the world by storm. Starting in the UK, they won a ton of awards there and a teletubbies song even made to Number 1. They are four multi colours toddlers of a methodological alien specie. They are called 'tinky winky', 'dipsy', 'laa-laa' and 'po', and they communicated with each other basically in Jibrish. The strangest thing about the show for me is when their tummies use to light up like a TV screen and it will show a message teaching kids about something. It was pretty weird but i guess you got to do whatever it takes to teach toddlers. 

4. Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?
