Little Einsteins is a great cartoon to get a child interested in the world around them. Despite the name, the series has almost nothing to do with Einstein's physics, but it shows children how different fields of knowledge can intersect. Each episode is usually associated with travel and research. The characters fly on a rocket and end up in different countries, see natural objects, animals, cultures and architecture. Sometimes it is criticized for "magical thinking": for example, you can speed up a rocket by clapping your hands louder. But for a preschooler, such an image does not so much distort ideas about science as it makes them closer and more understandable, creating emotional involvement that at an early age forms the basis for a child's further intellectual development.
