(this is a ressurection of a page of inspirations from around 2014)
As a family we've taken to watching 10 minutes of video before the bedtime story - the topics are often chosen by the kids, and we then see what we can find on Vimeo and YouTube, or we followed suggested videos linked from the ones we loved - it's amazing the level of creativity and entertainment that we often find, as we discover them I'll embed our favourites here (most recent at the top):
