10 Movie Recommendations When You’re Sick, Snowed In, or Stuck at Home #NetflixKids

I’m a compensated member of the Netflix Stream Team.

We’ve had one heck of a crazy weekend here in Texas. We endured a stomach bug AND a winter storm almost simultaneously (and we’re gearing up for more icy weather again)! Having the kids unexpectedly at home for both reasons, it’s tough to keep them occupied, especially when they’re sick and feeling too punky to do anything that exerts too much energy.

I am so thankful for our streaming Netflix service, so the kids can watch whatever shows and movies they’d like on any devices, especially while under quarantine. (I can super-clean my iPad, tablet, and game controllers later.) Here are six flicks that can turn sniffles into giggles.

1. Daddy Day Care 2. Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves 3. Hoodwinked Too! 4. Escape from Planet Earth 5. The Croods [coming to Netflix 1/29!] 6. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 2 7. Beverly Hills Chihuahua 3

For your young ones, you can stream these TV episodes to show them that even their favorite characters get sick like they do.

1. Magic School Bus: Inside Ralphie 2. Sesame Street: The Ten Commandments of Health 3. The Adventures of Chuck & Friends: The Checkup 4. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Daniel Visits the Doctor 5. Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Daniel Gets a Shot
