Eva and I were sent some brand new toys to review. We received three packages of toys from the Waverly and the Magic Seashells line which will be available this Fall.

Eva and Andrew have been thoroughly enjoying the new show on PBS called Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood. Set in the land of make believe from the classic Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood, Daniel Tiger is an animated interpretation of that magical place. Now the original Daniel Tiger puppet is grown and has a son named Daniel. The series revolves around young Daniel Tiger experiencing life in the land of make believe. Each episode kids learn social emotional lessons in the form of musical strategies that are repeated within both of the 11 minute mini episodes contained within each regular episode. The strategies are repeated by the adult characters and the children characters in the show and are pretty catchy. We’ve noticed Eva repeating them and even using them on occasion.
To go along with the release of the TV show there is also an iOS app. With the app children 2-4 can experience interacting with Daniel as he goes about his routine at the doctor’s office, using the bathroom and also bedtime routines. Kids can interact with Daniel Tiger’s home and even use stickers to decorate the rooms of Daniel Tiger’s house (as seen above). Below is a full overview of the app in a press release.
