Persian shows for kids — dubbed cartoons and Iranian kids TV

K-Time carries 2,134 titles that clear its under-7 kid-safe filter as of September 2026, and 1,111 of those play in Persian — 746 with a Persian dub and 407 Iranian productions that are in Persian to begin with. There is a PIN-locked Kids mode on the TV app and in the browser, and 6 Persian-language children’s channels in the live grid. No geo-block, no VPN: open ktime.app/app or install the Android TV, Fire TV or Google TV app and pay with any foreign card.

How much Persian content for kids does K-Time actually have?

1,111 kid-safe titles on K-Time play in Persian, out of 2,134 that pass the under-7 safety filter. The Persian half splits two ways: 746 titles carry a Persian dub — 497 of those are animation — and 407 are Iranian productions whose original audio is already Persian; 42 titles sit in both groups, so the two figures overlap rather than add. The other roughly 1,000 kid-safe titles on the service are original-audio only, mostly English, which is worth knowing before you assume every cartoon in the catalog will speak Farsi to your four-year-old.

That is a real library rather than a token shelf, and it is the reason a lot of diaspora parents sign up in the first place: the child gets an hour of screen time and it is an hour of Persian rather than an hour of English.

Are kids shows on K-Time dubbed in Persian, or subtitled?

Dubbed — and for children that is the only measurement that matters. A four-year-old cannot read subtitles, so the honest number is not the 2,134 kid-safe titles or the subtitle count; it is 746, the number of kid-safe titles with a Persian audio track, plus the 407 Iranian titles that never needed one. Everything else in the kids section plays in its original language.

Iranian children’s programming is the part that needs no dub at all. Kolah Ghermezi (کلاه قرمزی), the Iranian children’s puppet character created by Iraj Tahmasb and Hamid Jebelli that has been on Iranian television and in Iranian cinemas for more than two decades, is on K-Time in Persian, as is the stop-motion satire Dirin Dirin (دیرین دیرین) and the animated history series Pahlevanan (پهلوانان).

Which Persian cartoons and kids shows can I put on tonight?

The table below is a sample from both halves — Iranian originals in Persian, and international animation with a Persian dub. Every title is on K-Time’s own disk and plays now.

Two of the Iranian films in that list are worth putting in front of an older child specifically. Bacheha-ye Aseman (بچه‌های آسمان, Children of Heaven, 1997) was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 1998, and its plot — a brother and sister sharing one pair of shoes — is legible to a seven-year-old without a word of explanation. Khane-ye Doust Kojast? (خانه دوست کجاست؟, Where Is the Friend’s House?, 1987) by Abbas Kiarostami is the first film of the Koker trilogy and is, on its surface, simply a boy trying to return a schoolmate’s notebook.

Does K-Time have a Kids mode or a child profile?

Yes, and it is a real lock rather than a filter you can click past. Kids mode is a 4-digit PIN on the account: turn it on and the app serves only kid-safe rows, and turning it off again requires the PIN. On the Android TV app it lives in Settings under “Kids mode & PIN”, with three age tiers — under 7, 7 to 12, and 13+. In the browser at ktime.app/app it sits in the Account section and is fixed to the safest under-7 tier, so a child using the family laptop gets the narrowest set by default.

Separate kids profiles with their own age group are supported alongside that, so a six-year-old and a twelve-year-old do not have to share one setting. The safety filter itself is not just an age-rating lookup: it also carries a curated denylist for adult animation that carries a misleading G rating, which is the category that leaks past every naive “is it a cartoon” check.

Are there Persian kids channels on live TV?

Yes — 6 Persian-language children’s channels sit in K-Time’s live grid, including Pooya & Nahal, Pooya TV Plus, Persiana Junior, GEM Junior and GEM Kids. They are in the Kids category alongside the international children’s channels, so a parent scrolling that category will see them together. Live channels are a different proposition from on-demand for a small child: no choosing, no next-episode decision, just something Persian playing.

The live grid as a whole runs to 5,000+ channels, and the full live TV setup works the same on every device the app runs on.

How do I set this up on the TV for my children?

Install K-Time on an Android TV, Fire TV, Google TV box or Nvidia Shield, sign in once, set the Kids PIN in Settings, and the remote is enough after that. On a phone, tablet or computer, ktime.app/app runs in any modern browser including Safari on an iPhone or iPad — there is no native Apple TV app and no AirPlay, so on Apple hardware the browser is the path. A subscription plays on one device at a time, which in practice means deciding whether the tablet or the television has it.

If the household that needs this is your parents rather than you, our guide to setting up Persian TV for parents covers the version of this where nobody wants to configure anything, and ktime.app/how-to-watch is the short list of steps per device.

Watching on K-Time

Browse the animation and family shelves, the Iranian family films collection, or all films and series. Older children who have moved past cartoons often land on the Korean catalog or the Turkish catalog next, both subtitled in Persian. K-Time carries 24,000+ films and series in total.

Watch on Android TV, Fire TV, Google TV or Nvidia Shield, in a browser on any phone or computer, or on the native Android phone app — no VPN, no Iranian card. New here? Create an account at CA$9.99 a month, CA$54.99 for six months or CA$99.99 a year, or get the TV app for the living room. If setup is the obstacle, the pre-configured K-Time دستگاه sold at Iranian shops in the Greater Toronto Area arrives ready to use.
