Sid the Science Kid (2 DVDS) & Dive Olly Dive DVD Review & Giveaway!

When EC wakes up in the morning I let him snuggle up on the couch and watch his cartoons for a bit. So I'm always on the look out for educational yet entertaining shows.


I recently got the opportunity to review one of the top new shows for kids to premier this past year: "Sid the Science Kid." It's an Emmy nominated PBS series that is produced by The Jim Henson Company and KCET-LA. They sent me both DVDs titled "Change Happens" and "The Bug Club." Each DVD contains four episodes from the TV show!!!

Also included for us to review was a brand new DVD from "Dive Olly Dive." This is a Emmy-nominated, 3D-animated underwater series that airs on PBS Sprout.
Here is some information on "Sid the Science Kid: Change Happens" and "Sid the Science Kid: The Bug Club:" "Featuring the delightfully inquisitive Sid the Science Kid and his precocious pals, both DVDs celebrate and explore the great outdoors, tackling such questions as why bees live in hives and ants live in anthills, and observing such phenomena as how the heat from the sun can change matter."

EC has never seen these cartoons, but I have heard of them. I was pleasantly surprised!!! Because he is obsessed with all sea animals right now his favorite is the "Dive Olly Dive." This cartoon is soo cute and colorful!
PBS describes "Dive Olly Dive!: Ship Shape Sub" as A "3D-animated DVD for preschoolers that features five episodes, which explores the many interesting facets of ocean life in an entertaining and educational way. With Exciting underwater adventures featured throughout, this lively DVD is a perfect way to cap off a fun-filled day at the beach!"

I won't just let EC watch any cartoon. I'm a bit picky about it. But I highly recommend all three of these cartoons. Honest truth! They're great for all age groups as well.

The giveaway:
One lucky person will also get the opportunity to win "Sid the Science Kid: Change Happens & The Bug Club" and "Dive Olly Dive: Ship Shape Sub" -one set (3 DVDs). Thank You to the people at PBS!

My son loves to watch Sid the Science Kid on PBS. I keep calling him Sid the Science Guy (Rhymes with Bill Nye the Science Guy - I'm a child of the 70s/80s.).

He always tells me it's too short though. So he'd love to have a DVD he can watch over and over as long as he wants.
