Today was the Annual Christmas is for Kids Toy Drive sponsored by Achin’s Garage. I’ve been talking about this event all month and today it finally arrived. I got home from work and packed up the car with all of the toys that we had collected for the past couple of months. Allison took the kids to Eva’s Dance class and I finished up a few posts then headed to Attleboro Farms for the event. I got there and helped Sarah Achin bring a bunch of toys in to set them up in a display.
Curious George, that good little monkey who is always very curious, is taking a trip to Australia in the season 7 opener of the hit PBS show. This time George is being joined by Bindi Irwin, daughter of the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. We received a screener of the first 3 episodes of the seventh season and “Monkey Down Under” was the first episode of the season.
George and the Man in the Yellow hat take a flight to Australia. They are greeted at the airport by Bindi who takes them into the outback. There they encounter various Australian animals like Dingos, Emus, Koalas and Kangaroos. It was a cute episode and then at the very end when the show goes to a short segment with kids they were at our zoo, Capron Park Zoo! They were there with kids to talk about the Emus and Kangaroos that live at our zoo. I was so excited to see that.
Curious George’s seventh season starts on Monday, December 3. Check your local listings for times or go online to pbskids.org/curiousgeorge
