So I think I have established how much I enjoy Netflix for when I want to go crazy and binge watch entire seasons of shows. (Also known as "Netflixing"). In fact, I just finished season 2 of Once Upon A Time last night. But Netflix is also great for watching some of your old favorites as well. There are so many shows on here that either myself or my husband loved as kids and it has been a blast introducing some of them to our own kids.
Prepare to feel super old in 3...2...1....
- Saved by the Bell
- The Baby-Sitters Club
- Family Ties
- Jem and the Holograms
- The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries
- Spiderman and His Amazing Friends
- Transformers
There are also some great classics for your younger kiddies to get into. I can even begin to tell you how obsessed I was with Care Bears as a little one. I had all the dolls and the VHS movie in the big puffy plastic case. Remember those? I think I may even have those dolls up in the attic somewhere. Plus of course there are the classics Sesame Street episodes. Cuddling down on the couch with your preschooler and watching some of these is a lot of fun. The only thing Netflix needs to add is Rainbow Brite!
- The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
- The Care Bears Movie
- The Smurfs and the Magic Flute
- Strawberry Shortcake
- Curious George
- Sesame Street
- Dumbo
Classic Crafts
If you really want to go all out with the oldies movies and shows, you can throw in some old school craft fun as well. I am embarrassed to admit how excited I was when I found out that you can buy Shrinky Dink paper. How cool is that? Have them draw some pictures from their favorite "oldies", or whatever they want really, and then watch them magically shrink in the oven.

What were some of your favorites shows or movies as a kid? Have you introduced any to your children?
