TLDR: looking for a way to share spiderman with young children without violence or inducing ADD in child.
I have a 4 year old that I have pretty successfully sheltered from media. She's watched some stuff - but think PBS instead of cocomelon - slower paced and no cuts every 5 seconds and noises / explosions / annoying blippi people. I think that's the right choice and we're doing well with it.
However, her friends, mostly boys, at day care all like to play spiderman. She gets enough about it to play along in the game. But she has never seen media about spiderman. And hasnt watched anything with violence - thats scary for her.
I'd like to share the character with her to help her with fitting in - while sticking to our media rules, in a kid friendly way.
My first thought was comic books - but even those are pretty advanced for a 4 year old.
I could edit down one of the spiderman movies into a few clips and show that.
But - would appreciate your suggestions. Do you have any spiderman books / media that you think are age appropriate?
Not a parent (saw your post on the all feed and wandered in), so you'll have to screen a few episodes to make sure the content fits what your looking for, but I know Disney has a Spiderman show for young audiences as part of their Disney Jr. lineup called Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Can't say I've seen it myself, but I'd be willing to bet it's most likely where your daughter's classmates are encountering the characters, so it might be a good spot to start your search. That said, while YouTube might have clips and snipits from the show, I'd avoid it like the plague, any local library with their salt will almost certainly have a selection of DVDs for kids that you could borrow (and failing that there's also Disney+).
Actually, the library idea got me thinking... Given the popularity of the show, there's almost certainly going to be tie-in kids books if you wanted to go that route. Probably not board books, but definitely something with pictures that you could sit down and read tougher.
