Out this month, are new installments to our favorite preschool shows. As many of you know, we love Bob the Builder, Barney & Friends, Thomas & Friends and all of the other HIT preschool shows. After watching the same episodes over and over, I look forward to new additions to each of these series.
Barney: Hi! I’m [...]

Hip Hop Harry: Move Those Feet - I am admitting to you now…I’m a reality show-addict. As such, I watch all of the dancing shows. I admit it…even the latest addition on Bravo. One late Thursday night, while trying to get my oldest to finally settle down and go to sleep, he became enamored with [...]

Any parent or grandparent of preschool-aged child knows about Bob, Barney, and Thomas. I have to admit that with Thomas and Bob, my family has become a little too involved in getting the boys as much Thomas and Bob toys as possible…resulting in incredible amounts of trains, tracks, earth movers, and tools. However, new DVDS [...]

From the moment I brought my daughter home from the hospital, I was worried about her care.  It seemed hard to believe that just one newborn care class prepared me for caring for another life.  When it came time for my husband and me to leave our daughter with a caregiver, I insisted that it [...]

In my former non-mommy life, I used to work with kids with developmental disabilities. I loved the work but, found some of my most challenging goals involved teaching kids social skills.

Unfortunately, I remember finding much of the movies or television [...]

If you’re like me and have two little guys that love all things trucks, then you know all about Bob the Builder. Bob is the guy with a dump truck, an excavator, a concrete mixer, and, don’t forget about the atv, Scrambler! I have to say I, myself, was extremely excited to see that Bob the [...]

This cold, nasty weather has meant, unfortunately, more inside time for my little ones.  They watch DVDs more in the winter, and we have tried to keep most of the DVD content educational and fun.  When these three new DVD gift sets arrived from Little Laureate, we were excited to check them out to see [...]

As many of you know, we are huge fans of the shows often seen on Sprout, especially ”Thomas and Friends” and “Bob the Builder.” Here are some new DVDS out this week on January 29,

A great collection of our favorites. I love that it includes a short episode from Thomas and Friends, Barney, Fireman Sam, Bob the Builder, Kipper, [...]

When learning about social skills, kids learn the most by watching and interacting with us, their parents. We show them how to patiently wait for a turn, we encourage them to make eye contact, help their friends, and a whole lot of other important skills. As we all know, it’s good to have back up, [...]
