We do a lot of Dora and Diego. They are a bit annoying for us as adults, but she loves them and the characters are always kind and want to be helpful (except swiper the fox, but they even embrace him in a few episodes). She has also actually learned about 20 spanish words from those shows, although I would never claim that I am allowing them in order to TEACH spanish, it has just been a happy benefit. Another fun one is Pocoyo, they are only 7 minutes and can be found on youtube (type in pocoyo english). They are cute if any one character is being unkind it is redeemed by the end. Thankfully we got out of Elmo...that was just annoying. There are also some great sign language videos called signing with Leah that Áine has been loving. Okay, my list is looking like she watches tv all day...haha!Piperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879201509007151119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5780838804611245248.post-57251484607359877742011-03-06T23:34:44.117-06:002011-03-06T23:34:44.117-06:00I love Kipper!

It teaches science.<br /><br />My boys are really into Richard Scarry's Busytown Mysteries. The only problem is Pig Will and Pig Won't sound a little too much like them arguing. :)Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00411068031628918561noreply@blogger.com
