If Toddlers Ran the Morning News

June 27, 2016 By Katy 10 Comments

Watching the local morning news is part of my weekday routine. I sip a cup of coffee and let the TV news anchors fill me in on what I missed while I was sleeping.

Honestly, 99% of the time I seem to have missed a new cat video that went viral.

And that’s it.

Watching is a comforting part of my routine, though.

Somehow I got the idea that the morning news could easily be run by toddlers and preschoolers, with a few minor tweaks. Here are the segments and lead-off stories that would appear if wee ones ran the morning news:Here's what would happen if toddlers ran the morning news!

Breaking news

This would literally cover what furniture or objects in the house were broken in the last 24 hours.

Weather

Forget partly sunny with a chance of precipitation. If little kids ran the morning news, the weather report would consist of whether the day will be good for:

  • puddle jumping,
  • running around naked,
  • changing clothes 5 times in an hour, and
  • how many dandelions may be ready for picking.If Toddlers Ran the Morning news Weather forecasts would include if the day was good for playing in the Mud!

In Good Health

I could see preschoolers and toddlers covering pressing questions like, “How many blueberries are too many blueberries? Should you taste those smelly markers? Why won’t you just potty train anyway?”

Community Events

Here we would be provided with a long list of playgroup and stroller stride meet-ups. Plus, the low-down on library story times.

Traffic

Picture a cute toddler reporting the following:

If Toddlers ran the morning news Community happenings would include things like playgroups and story time meetups!

“Peyton, age 2, got a new Little Tykes car so watch out for him. The usual congestion is expected around the coffee maker this morning as moms and dads try to ingest some caffeine, feed the cat, and keep you little guys happy out there.”

That’s what I envision the morning news would look like it if was run by toddlers and preschoolers. What about you? Would you add any segments? Would you watch if wee ones were in charge?

    Funny! I think I’d add a cooking segment. Always a delight to watch them fling around the sprinkles, goosh their hands in the batter and lick the beaters.

      Oh, a cooking segment would be awesomely messy and entertaining. They could chat about making Goldfish snack mix, those Gerber puff things, etc. Great idea!

    I like the toddler version of the news! I think a quick replacement from the old powerhouses to these new little guys is in order. The weather people always get it wrong anyways, so the toddlers would make the mistakes worth it by just being so dang cute1

    This made me chuckle partly because if it actually happened everything would be SO TRUE! Thank you for sharing this with us, Katy! Your humor is just what I needed today

    Cooking segments that includes a list of things they will and won’t eat today (with the disclaimer that none of it’s written in stone!)

    I love it! My kids might not have time for anything after they were finished reporting the breaking news, though.

    Brilliant! What about a Culture section – toddlers can analyse the latest episode of Peppa Pig or discuss the finer points of Richard Scarry…

    Hahaha I love this! My son is not a toddler YET but this really made me laugh. I shared it with my boyfriend too, I think Breaking News and Community News. I can’t wait until my son is old enough to talk about flowers. : ) Thanks for the laugh and sharing with #StayClassyMama!
