YouTube for kids

The Chicago Tribune has a story about parents showing YouTube videos to their kids. http://www.chicagotribune.com/features/lifestyle/chi-0601-parent-to-parent-youtubjun01,0,1712285.story

The parents named different programs their kids watched. One parent said her kids watch old Judy Garland and Fred Astaire clips and one mom said her kids tune into Spanish-language videos of kids songs.

We tuned our kids into YouTube awhile ago. Some of our favorites for them to watch are Old School Sesame Street clips (remember Ladybug picnic?) and a series of music videos named things like "The Iguana Song" or "The Green Anaconda Song," posted by squetch. Once we turned on a Dora clip put to Crank That by Soulja Boy. Guillermo wasn't interested. Maya watched and was a bit confused. We thought it was a riot.

Any of you let your kid watch YouTube videos? Can you recommend any?
