Come Snow, Sun or Rain..Sam will save the day!

Advantages: Great Safety messages
Disadvantages: none

My son is a huge Fireman Sam fan I think we have nearly all of the dvds now apart from the new computer animated ones. The Fireman Sam series is a fictitious village set in Pontypandy in Wales, the real towns that the stories are based on are Pontypridd and Tonypandy. I remember a long time ago when Fireman Sam first came out on S4C in Wales! On the front of the cover is a christmas scene but there is only one christmas episode which my son was a ...
...plants because that is what Fireman Sam would do! With each episode comes a safety message for children and I think this gets them thinking about what dangers could lurk inside and outside the house. Like for example we have a safety gate by the kitchen door which my son hates but he knows that when I am cooking the kitchen is hot and it is not safe for him. In the dvd Norman Price is told it is not safe to play with electric, dropping litter like ...

Advantages: Don't have to go out for the live show.
Disadvantages: Six foot Bob's!!

...this LIVE dvd version of Bob the builder, and try to do it justice as even though i feel parents should not be forced to watch some of the dreadful programmes that are made for children, feel i owe some loyalty to Bob, one of my main childsitters bar my mum!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Background~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob the builder and characters are clay characters created by Cody Hill.

Review of Bob The Builder Live! (DVD)

Aaaah ... peace and quiet for an hour or so!

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Kids only want to watch this and nothing else!

...and on for 'Here Comes The Big Red Car' for his Birthday, I am so glad that we bought it for our son. He is age 5, and really enjoys watching it, joining in with the actions he sees on screen, as well as singing along with the songs. His Sister, age 6, also thinks it is great fun. Who are The Wiggles? Greg, Murray, Jeff and Anthony are award winning children's entertainers who began writing children's songs whilst at University together and have ...
...great fun to watch. The main feature is approximately 49 minutes long, revolving around the fun The Wiggles have in their big red car, singing both classic Wiggles songs and some new ones. Included on the DVD are two TV episodes of The Wiggles, a story book (narrated with still pictures), a photo gallery (containing photos of the cast and crew) and The Wiggly Jukebox. The Wiggly Jukebox is a great feature as you can play the songs separately from ...

Review of The Wiggles - Here Comes The Big Red Car (DVD)

Party Time

Advantages: typical Barney fun to keep kids amused
Disadvantages: the annoying kids that go with him

Another great Barney dvd - full of learning and fun and loads of songs to go with it. It's just under an hour long and the emphasis is how to enjoy yourself at the beach by playing lots of games and eating ice cream - just the thing when its wet and windy outside, you know a typical British summer. Prices range from around £6-£10 depending where you shop which isn't bad value for this already much watched dvd in our house. It begins with the children ...
...to do - sounds familiar to most parents. However, we don't have a purple dinosaur on hand to save the day - well not unless we have this playing. The children are whisked off to a beach setting where they start singing and dancing almost immediately. Along the way we learn about colours, creatures under the sea and most importantly making sure we are safe in the sun. This message has already gotten through to my 3 year old who always asks to get ...
