Not only children love to watch cartoons, often parents also watch with interest the adventures of bright heroines. And what cartoons do girls of different ages like and why do they choose these particular stories?
While parents and grandparents argue about the benefits or dangers of cartoons, children continue to watch the good stories of fairy-tale characters with pleasure. Kids like to believe in the reality of what is happening on the screen with their favorite characters, these observations help to learn the world, teach them to be friends and communicate.
Often the patterns of behavior that are depicted in your favorite cartoons can affect the further development of the baby, so it is very important that the child sees good kind stories with a cognitive plot. And, of course, without elements of violence and cruelty.
For the little ones
Early childhood development specialists and child psychologists are sure that children under two years old should not watch cartoons without the presence of adults, and more often than twice a day. You should not turn on cartoons before daytime and nighttime sleep, the baby may become overexcited and refuse to rest.
You need to give preference to positive developmental stories with understandable characters. It is desirable that the series lasts no longer than 15-20 minutes, the eyes of children are not able to follow the rapidly changing bright pictures on the screen for a long time.
At this age, children are still poorly aware of gender differences and different models of behavior, so many cartoons will be of interest to both boys and girls. Of course, bright beautiful stories about fabulous animals or good sorceresses are more suitable for little girls. But it is better to focus on educational cartoons that help the child better navigate the world around him. It is difficult to list all the popular and useful cartoons for kids, but we will try to form a list of the most interesting ones:
- Fixies. A measured story of funny characters living in technical devices and repairing them. A lot of useful information, safety tips and rules of conduct. Moreover, everything is set out in an accessible and interesting form for children.
- Luntik and his friends. The plot is quite fabulous, little Luntik came to our planet from the Moon, so everything around him is new and unfamiliar, but this does not stop the hero. Together with new friends, he gets to know the world around him, learn the correct behavior and interaction with other guys and adults. The creators have a surprisingly kind, informative story, each episode of which the kid will watch with interest.
- Dora the explorer. The story was created by the best animators in the USA and Canada and is aimed at children aged two and older. According to the script, the main character and her friends find solutions to complex riddles and are happy to help others. Each episode is conceived as an interactive dialogue with a child, Dasha asks the audience questions from the screen and the effect of "live communication" is created. This technique well develops the baby's communication skills, attentiveness and observation.

Favorite magic worlds
When, if not in childhood, you can believe in sorcery, beautiful fairies, schools of wizardry and the whole country of cute talkative ponies? Therefore, cartoons about unreal, but such attractive fairies and unicorns are adored by girls all over the world. Let's try to figure out which of the fairy tales are popular with modern girls and why:
- My Little Pony. The action takes place in a fairyland, inhabited by friendly ponies and other magical, sociable animals. The life of the inhabitants is quite eventful: ponies control the weather, grow crops, fly under the clouds, study and make friends. Lovely pony girlfriends learn to solve life's problems, help others and selflessly do good deeds.
- Winx Club. A beautiful colorful series that tells about the daily life of young winged sorceresses. Each of the girls learns to control not only their magical abilities, but also their emotions. Most of the heroines' problems are familiar to all adolescents: first falling in love, friendship and competition, the desire to be better and at the same time not to lose oneself. In addition to seven seasons of the cartoon, based on the adventures of the Winx girls, a series of books, a musical production, an ice show and a huge number of electronic applications and games have already been released.
- Fabulous patrol. A very successful version of the magical world from domestic animators. Four young sorceresses with unusual abilities live in the small town of Myshkin. The girls encounter familiar characters from Russian fairy tales and legends, help the residents of the town and protect the peace of the ordinary world. So far, episode 26 of the first season has been released, but the cartoon is so popular that the creators are already preparing the shooting of the next episodes.
Almost real life
In addition to fabulous mystical worlds, many popular cartoons for girls "tell" about the life of characters whose concerns are not much different from the emotional experiences of any schoolgirl.
- The adventures of a Barbie doll and her friends. A very beautifully made multi-part story about the life of a popular Barbie doll and her friends. In each episode many adventures await the heroine, any funny and carefree situation can become alarming, but the heroes always find a way out and save themselves from the most serious troubles. Of course, these are classic cartoons for girls, kind, a little romantic and naive. But this is how it should be in cartoons …
- LEGO Friends. Best friends. The life of the girlfriends from Heartlake City does not subside either. The cartoon is based on the theme of the popular construction set and the possible life of its many characters. Each girl has her own interests and hobbies, but this does not prevent them from making friends, visiting, spending holidays together and helping each other. A bit naive, but very kind and informative cartoon for girls of school age.
- Masha and the Bear. Stories about a naughty little girl have long found fans in many countries. Of course, Masha can hardly be called an example to follow, but her childish spontaneity and talent for antics make it a pleasure to watch each new episode. By the way, the restless Masha and the uncomplaining Bear have many fans among the parents of fidgets.
Of course, the fairy-tale world of cartoons will not replace girls with live communication with their parents, real examples from life and everything that is called upbringing. But with the right choice, they will not only give the baby pleasure, but can also teach many useful things.
