The Real Lesson Disney World Teaches

A few nights ago I was having a bedtime chat with my eldest son. You know, the chats which fall under the category of “stalling because I don’t want to sleep yet”?

Playhouse Disney Mini-Shows

If you found my blog about PBS Kids Sprout mini-shows informative, then this one will be just as interesting for you to read.

Are you looking for something good to throw in your DVD player this week? We just might have something that will fill the bill. We started out our week with a look at “The Magic School Bus: Creepy, Crawly Fun,” which teaches children some basic principles of science in a fun, entertaining way. I always learn something myself when I watch these shows with my children. Then we learned about “Wall-E,” the phenomenal new film by Disney Pixar. You’ll be blown away by the effects and the charm of this film that blogger Heather Long called “Quite simply the best … Continue reading →
