Christ-Centered Television for Kids
We are picky about what our kids watch on TV. We don’t have cable or TV hook up, and any movies the kids are going to watch have to be pre-screened by us. Some of the movies my 12 year old is just able to watch this year as he grows a bit in maturity, he still has to watch with his dad present.
Now, our way of handling TV might seem strict to some, while others would choose not to allow some of the movies we do. Different parents will make different choices in this area!
However, as Christian parents you probably would love more wholesome and Christ-centered television for kids, right? Wading through the shows available in library, on Amazon, or on Netflix can be a bit discouraging because of the lack of selection.

Well, I have a solution for you: Minno!
Minno is a Streaming Video On Demand service, similar to Netflix or Hulu, with over 300 hours of Christian programming for kids and families. It is unlike any other Christian streaming service, because it is dedicated to kids and families. It was started by VeggieTales creator Phil Vischer (and was originally called JellyTelly). He also also created What’s in the Bible?, which is one of our favorite shows that we even use as a supplement to our Bible curriculum!
Minno collects the best in Christ-centered television for kids all in one place for families to enjoy. You can try a FREE WEEK to test it out!
Here are the shows and movies that are our favorites so far:
- VeggieTales
- What’s in the Bible?
- Superbook
- The Torchlighters missionary stories
- 3, 2, 1 Penguins
- Friends and Heroes
- Holiday shows
- A selection of FULL feature movies
- And more!
When it’s time for a little relaxation or a much needed break from the homeschool routine, I let my kids pick from whatever they want in JellyTelly. It’s nice not to have to worry about what they’ll land on!
I also really like how accessible it is. I can call it up on my phone in the app, on my computer, or through streaming devices. Here are some highlights:
- Trusted, Biblical Content For Kids
- Stream VeggieTales And More
- Available On All Major Platforms
- Enjoy On Your Favorite Device
- Download and Go
- Stream On Multiple Devices Simultaneously
I also want to mention that Minno has much more to offer with fantastic encouraging and practical blog posts for parents, family devotions, “church” at home for those who can’t make it in person that week, and more!

Veggie Tales!
I didn’t know this existed! So exicited to have a chance to stream some of the shows my older girls used to love to watch on DVD like Hermie, Veggie Tales, God’s Little Princess, and so on. Now my newest blessing will get to see them too.
Our family loves Buck Denver and would love to have all of those shows on-hand! My daughter like Gigi and would probably like to see Mandie. My son would really like to try out several of Jelly Telly’s action shows (that look perfect for a 5-year-old boy!). I am also interested in the 1-minute/other short Bible devotion options for our family. (Maybe a great way to start the homeschool day???)
My youngest is 15, so we have kind of outgrown Jelly Telly. But I’d love to gift it to a friend with a 7 year old son!
My youngest LOVES the Torchlighters series, but we only have a couple of them. It would be great to have access to all of them!
What a cool service for little ones! We have loved veggie tales for 17 years!
My favorite show from jelly time would be the worship but my kids would probably enjoy either friends and hero’s or the bug time one.
I am really impressed with all of the available content. I am most interested in “Friends and Heroes”, “The Jesus Storybook Bible” and “The Nature of God”. There are lots of other categories that I would love to explore as well.
