SpongeBob SquarePants
Needing no introduction, SpongeBob SquarePants is the best friend of a kid on school holidays. The sentient sponge and his underwater friends go on countless adventures in Bikini Bottom, providing hours of endless fun. The bright animation is perfectly balanced with jokes that will satisfy the oldies, meaning you’ll probably want to plop down beside your kid for this one.
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
If your kid saw the movies and still couldn’t get enough, we’ve got good news for you. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs now has its own dedicated television series. The series takes you back to the high school days of inventor Flint Lockwood, where he and his best friend Sam must tackle the challenges of his overactive imagination with all the usual school shenanigans.
The Wild Thornberrys
Get back to nature with the world’s favourite travelling family, the Thornberrys. You can join iconic dad Nigel, mum Marianne, original teenager daughter Debbie, adorably feral Donny and of course the star of the show, Eliza as they travel across the world, learning the secrets of the animals. Paramount+ also has the The Wild Thornberrys movie, perfect for a school holiday move night.
Rugrats
Entertaining kids since 1991, Rugrats is an absolute staple when it comes to kids TV. However, the favourite show has also had an update, meaning that there is an entire new library of content for the kids to consume. While the animation may look a little strange to the Rugrat OGs (mum and dad), the show still has the same sweet and funny storylines told from a kid’s perspective, making this wholesome series a timeless winner.
Hey, Arnold
Hey Arnold is one of the best shows around. It brought every day kid problems to the screen and made sure they were dealt with, with the right amount of consideration, humour and poise. Impossibly hard to keep down, our hero with the football head reminds kids that life can get weird, but it’s usually pretty great. Just watch out though, ‘Hey football head!’ will be ringing through your house for months to come.
