"Top 60 Must-Watch Shows for Kids 8-12 (Including Latest Additions!)"

Discover 100 enthralling TV shows for kids between 8 to 12 years {Updated!} Crafted by Jamie C. Martin from Simple Homeschool alongside her venture, Introverted Moms.

60 TV shows recommended for ages 8-12

Who would have thought that my research-based article would be one of the most searched results on this site for years! I believe it's because parents are constantly seeking useful resources in this era of streaming.

So, I revamped this post to make it more helpful to you. Interestingly, the initial article listed just about 60 shows, but this updated article outlines 100 shows!

To simplify your search, I've grouped the TV shows under Amazon Prime, Disney Plus, Netflix, Peacock, and Other categories. Bear in mind that the relevance of these categories might vary as time progresses.

Why did I initially create this list in 2014? Well, my husband and I finally entered the modern age and upgraded our old TV for a widescreen one. Our kids used to pick one show every weekend, and after discovering numerous options, I had to research and sort it all out to optimize our screen time.

Determining age-appropriate TV shows has become so easy since finding Common Sense Media, where they provide ratings and reviews on shows, movies, music, games, websites, and much more. I've linked most of the shows directly to Common Sense Media for a more detailed review. Bear in mind, however, that I have found adding two years to the recommended age from Common Sense Media fits better for our family.

Before watching any show, I always visit Common Sense Media for insights, and here's a summary of TV ratings (Find more on the link provided):

  • TV-Y: Virtually suitable for all ages, especially kids aged 2-6.
  • TV-7: Suitable for ages 7 and above
  • TV-G: Although not entirely age-specific, it's relevant to most kids.
  • TV-PG: Inappropriate for younger kids
  • TV-14: Not suitable for children under 14 years
  • TV-MA: Not designed for children, equivalent to an R-rated movie.
  • Sit back, relax and enjoy the shows!
