Entropymama Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 What are your favorites? I have a five and seven year old, so they have to be fairly tame, but I'm usually ok with PG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I like Wildest Islands; I've only seen a couple episodes, though. 10yo dd thinks they're boring--not enough lions and tigers. :rolleyes: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILiveInFlipFlops Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 My kids loved Wild China at around that age and one still asks for it (at 13!). Beautifully done, and the narrator is the actor who played the King of Rohan in the LOTR movies. He has an amazing voice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Entropymama Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Thanks guys! We've already seen Wild China and Mysteries of the Unseen World - those were both good. We watched Myth Hunters.. it was okay. I'll let you know if we find any gems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Our two recent favorites are "On the Way to School," about what kids from other parts of the world have to go through to get to school every day, and "Antarctica: A Year on Ice" about people who live in Antarctica for a year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 You might also want to check out PBS online. They have a variety of shows about culture, cooking, history, science, etc. I don't have specific ones to recommend as I'm just discovering it all myself.

MistyMountain Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I really like the David Attenborough documentaries. There are other animal ones they like too. We also watch some of the NOVA documentaries if the are interested in the topic. All my kids like Your Inner Fish, How the States got Their Shape, and Cosmos. They also liked On the Way to School, one about living on a dollar a day and Brooklyn Castle.
