instead of buying DVD, can i suggest you get a Digital set top box- they are around $30 plug it into you tv and you pick up ABC2 which has ABC kids on it from 10-3pm weekdays and on part of the weekends
well worth the investment!
I'm shattered to here you dis the Night Garden Shell! I love it to bits and I'm strangely excited that the toys will be here soon. DD would love an Iggle Piggle doll!
Shell and Lulu - Oh lordy - In the night garden... what is it with that freaky show!!!!??? She loves it as well - not sure what the fascination is - must be some sort of subliminal message I'm sure coz those things are WEIRD!!!!
Odette - we have a built in tuner so we get ABC2 already - some of the shows she doesn't really like though and I like putting something on that get's her full attention!
I think I will definately go for Hi-5 next and maybe the Justine Clark stuff - I have heard that they are pretty good too. Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming peoples!
Hmm.. DS likes Raggs, In the night garden, play school, in the night garden, thomas, in the night garden, bob the builder, did I mention in the night garden?
Funny thing is, he'll carry the bob dvd over to me and say something similar to bob and point to the tv, but he only wants the theme song!!!!! arghhhh... so I have to listen to the damn theme song over and over....
How about Dora The Explorer. My DD's have a Dora dance thingy.
It comes with a DVD, Dance mat, Your own Dora clothes, & Maracca's. It's noisy, but keeps them busy, coz Dora gets them up to dance with her.
My mum got it for them. Jaz is a bit old, but Bri loves it. It cost around $40 at Big W.
I like it coz it gets them off their butts. Or they can just sit & watch if they want. It still has all the problem solving that she usually does, but it may work better than expecting her to sit still the whole time.
Ok is it just me or are Hi-5 annoying?? I taped it the other day for her so she could watch it when she woke up from her nap (didnt' even realise when it was on, no TV on during the day here really!) anyway, she did like it and danced and sang (babble) but far out - they are annoying! I might keep Hi-5 for when she actually asks for it rather than subjecting myself! I think Id rather hear Queen of the Roses a billion times a day!
Mel - at the theme song - that is sooo cute!
Might look into a more musical Dora one, she loves pictures of Dora and her Dora couch as well as music and songs right now to dance and sing to rather than listening to much talking, but likes In the night garden - go figure. I still think they are weird.
Thanks again!
