All of us could use a little entertaining distraction amid the nonstop coronavirus coverage, including our kids, so we've rounded up our favorite TV shows and movies to stream right now.

Many parents are finding we need to rely on screens a bit more than usual to fill the day, so we tried to make these picks our favorites, meaning ones that we don't feel too bad about letting them gorge on or even watching with them (our laptops balanced in laps, of course).

Read on for more than two dozen of our parent-tested-kid-approved shows (and a few movies) that are streaming on Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, and Prime, including a slew of new releases headed to our TV screens early due to the closure of so many movie theaters. Find more at-home activities for kids in our Coronavirus Guide for Parents.

For families, creating a pandemic pantry might mean ensuring you have enough to cook three meals a day for multiple people. We're big fans of Trader Joe's recipes for easy weeknight cooking, so when the coronavirus crisis hit, I turned to Trader Joe's to start stocking up. 

Kids may love going to Trader Joe’s for the free stickers, hidden stuffed animals, and lollipops. But, for me, I have always loved the number of convenience foods this specialty food store provides, aka, entire gourmet meals I can microwave or throw into a single pan from frozen—and have ready sometimes in as little as 7 minutes. The (once) packed shelves can seem overwhelming for anyone to navigate, so we’ve created this list of 15 best meals from Trader Joe's recipes, combining veggies, proteins, whole grains, and flavor.
