Entertainment for Toddlers

My 1 year old daughter is not crazy about TV shows. She won't care when I am watching a certain show unless if she sees somebody singing or dancing. I find it good that she is not a nut with television and I don't want to raise her with addiction into it. We only watch TV at night when my husband relax in the couch with his ice cream and our daughter likes to sit with us not to watch the show but to mooch her dad's ice cream. She would rather watch Barney for an hour. She loves to watch the kids play and sing. I am not sure if it Barney's face that she like or the kids. I am just wondering because when I let her watch cartoons she won't go for it, but with Barney she go nuts. As soon as the intro music played I'd see a big smile in her face. It's a real treat for her to sit in the floor and learn something from Barney and his backyard gang. Barney is a good entertainment tool for toddlers like my daughter. She learns ABC, songs, animals and numbers from it. How did I know? I am a mother and I am always with her 24/7. She tried hard to say ABC by saying, "Eduhbuh....Eduhbuh......Eduhbuh. When I sing Barney's songs she would ask me, "Up, up, up", which means to pick her up and dance with her and sing together. Of course she sings on her own way. Barney is not only an entertainment for your toddler but very educational also
