Age Appropriate Kids Characters

December 11, 2011

Most parents and plenty of discerning kids would agree that the characters a 2-5 year-old enjoys are not the same ones a 6-12 year-old would choose to watch.  A character that’s appealing to a 2-5 year-old can be off-target for an older child.

Using both E-Score Character Kids and E-Score Character, we looked at which characters are considered most appropriate for age groups 2-5 and 6-12.
