Daniel Tiger arrives on DVD February 25

I probably should have had him hold the DVS while he watched Daniel Tiger. It is pretty much the only show he sits still for.

Daniel TigerDaniel Tiger is coming to DVD with two DVD compilations including Daniel’s Big Feelings and Life’s Little Lessons. There are between 8 and 10 11 minute episodes on each DVD. I am excited to receive these DVDs because that means that we can finally start to clear out our Daniel Tiger episodes on the DVR. Daniel has been my son’s favorite show ever since it premiered. We have probably watched every single episode twenty times. There was a stint where Andrew would wake up at 3am and we’d be watching Daniel until he fell back asleep or until the rest of the house woke up. I’ve done marathons of this show daily for weeks.

And the thing is, it is a very good show. Great messages for kids and adults alike. Keep reading for a description of the DVD contents. Continue reading Daniel Tiger arrives on DVD February 25

Tenkai Knights, Transforming the Brick


Photo-A-Day #3243

While at Toy Fair I was able to attend a special blogger breakfast for SpinMaster. They had a ton of great toys for us to see. Some from Paw Patrol, Air Hogs, Flutterbye Fairies and a company that I didn’t know much about, Ionix.

Ionix is the company behind a new building block line with some very special blocks. Their blocks actually transform and have several points of articulation. Figures can move in different ways and the blocks work with other brands like LEGO and Mega Bloks.

The first line of toys from Ionix are the Tenkai Knights. These are great looking figures and vehicles that go along with a cartoon of the same name. I tried watching an episode of that show and I just couldn’t get into it. however, I am impressed with the toys. I also cannot wait for them to release the How to Train Your Dragon 2 toys. I got to see some very fun toys from the movie.
