Balamore-ish!

Advantages: Fun, great characters, catchy songs, very educational
Disadvantages: Can get irritating for mum and dad after a while!

Balamory is the latest of Harry's favourite TV programmes. We have a nice little routine in the mornings of eating our breakfast and watching a few of our favourite shows, and Balamory has now been added to that list. When it was on a while ago, he didn't pay it much attention to it, but lately the fun songs and colourful pictures and scenery really appeals to him so when we saw this DVD called Balamory: Mysteries with PC Plum, in Woolworths, we ...
...on the television. Balamory is made by BBC Scotland, and is set on the fictional island of Balamory. It is actually filmed on the island of Tobermory in Scotland and features a colourful host of characters who live and work on the island. Each of the characters wears one colour and lives in a matching coloured house so that the children can easily identify them and start to learn their colours at the same time. Miss Hoolie is the main character in ...

...missing or the cooks want to find out more about on of the items they will be using so Little Cook Small flies off on his spoon to teach us more about it.

Are You Ready To Play?

Advantages: Keeps your child amused whilst they learn
Disadvantages: None really!

Tweenies Party Games and Giggles Are You Ready To Play At the moment I seem to be going through my daughters DVD collection for reviews as there does not seem to be many reviews on childrens television DVD’s and we have brought a few bad ones so hopefully my reviews will help make your decision about whether buying these DVD’s are worth it or not. This DVD, though, I will say now – if your child is a fan, it is well worth it. My daughter started ...
...my daughter wanted to watch Tweenies more than once a day so as Cbeebies didn’t step up the mark and play it more (which was annoying as Tweenies are educational and great compared to many programmes on this channel which are repeated many times and are just not what you want to watch), we decided to buy our daughter a few Tweenies DVD’s. TWEENIES The Tweenies are four fun loving, lovable full sized characters, Milo, Bella, Fizz and Jake and alongside ...

Welcome To Lazy Town

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids.
Disadvantages: None

For anyone that has kids would know about Lazy town and for anyone that does not have kids think your self's very lucky. The new kids show that has lively music that also is annoying and sticks in your head for days. You can't watch a show without singing to at least one song. Though the best thing about this kids show is that it helps towards eating healthy and bans junk food. Lazy Town Well for anyone that does not know by ...
...and about the characters. Lazy Town. For me this has to be one of the best shows that my kids watch. I like the fact that they are promoting healthy eating and getting active. Though don't except your kids to start eating fruit and veg immediately. My son does not and has not done since he was weaned. Though he has got a tad better in picking up the fruit. Anyway back to the review……… Lazy Town is a upside world with only having 3 human characters ...
