Streaming service Hulu has unveiled Hulu Kids, an ad-free, kid-friendly video streaming section available online at hulu.com/kids and for the Sony Playstation 3.

The new video hub for Hulu Plus subscribers features 43 popular children’s series from kidsnets including Nickelodeon (SpongeBob Squarepants, Teenage Nutant Ninja Turtles) and PBS (Super Why, Dinosaur Train, Arthur).

Categories include Cartoon Favorites, Dino Time for dinosaur-themed shows (Barney, Dino Time) and Shows You Watch which compiles shows based on a child’s viewing habits.

Age-appropriate sections are also broken down from two- to four-year-olds up through eight- to 10-year-olds.

The new service follows in the footsteps of Netflix which launched its Just For Kids section more than a year ago and recently made it available for the iPad. It’s also available for XBox 360, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Apple TV, PC, Mac, and select Smart TVs, Blu-ray players and streaming media players.
