I have kids ages 4-7 and they quite like watching a little snippet of something while they brush their teeth.

One thing they have been into recently is these stop motion videos on youtube on a channel called Peapea. However, it’s obvious that M&Ms and Coke give them lots of money because it’s all you see in many of the videos. But these are good videos, as the kids like them and while the full youtube videos are 30 mins long, within this there are lots of shorts only a few minutes long each. Perfect for bushing teeth. Also a bonus is those videos don’t rely on sound, so they can watch and understand it without telling each other to brush queiter.

Does anyone have suggestions for anything similar that isn’t plastered with Cocacola and is suitable for the 4-7 age range?

    They Might Be Giants have some kids’ albums for which they also made music videos.

    The band OK Go also has some fun videos that kids would enjoy and couple kid songs videos.

      Ooh I like that suggestion. They would probably love the OK Go ones. I’ll have a look at They Might Be Giants music videos too. Thanks!

    Puffin Rock episodes are 20 minutes

    Charlie’s Colorforms City episodes are 14-25 minutes

    Word Party episodes are 13 minutes

    Number Blocks episodes are 5 minutes each

    How’s It’s Made have 3-4 shorts in each 20 minute episode, so each clip is about 5 minutes long

    Music videos are usually about three minutes long

    Storybots is a great one. Fairly educational and some of the songs are genuinely good. There are both shorter videos on YouTube and long form episodes available.

    Bluey is great for that age, I can’t recommend it enough. For brushing teeth maybe Bluey shorts?

    The Disney plus app has lots of shorts if you have that. We’ve done the spidey and his amazing friends, Winnie the Pooh, and Bluey. There’s lots more on there, even like Cars and Frozen ones

    I loved the 1940s Superman cartoon as a kid. they are about 10 minutes each and don’t have dialog. just music and sound effects. Totally still hold up.

    We use the little mole for brushing teeth, but our kid is a bit younger. However, I don’t remember a time in my life where I would not enjoy that little fella. You have videos from 5 (most) to 30 minutes (2) on youtube. There is no speech too.

      Most of us even take them into the toilet. It’s not a big deal.

          I livestream it.

          If a state actor wants to hack into my phone and spy on my face as they hear the sound of water splashing, eh I’ve got bigger more realistic concerns.

      Not sure if it meets your hygeine standards, but we actually take the toothbrushes out of the bathroom.
