This afternoon I read the first two issues of Batman Vs The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I have been looking forward to reading this series and am glad that I finally got some time to do so. I like the artwork inside and the story thus far. The Turtles are in Gotham City for some reason and they are trying to get back to their reality but so is Shredder and the Foot Clan. Batman shows up and they get in a fight like any super hero team up happens and then they team up. I am looking forward to the next two issues.
I found a few more Sick Bricks figures on clearance at Target tonight. I was looking for the Captain America Civil War cereal but they didn’t have it. They still have some Avengers Age of Ultron cereal which is far superior since it has Iron Man front and center.
On Monday January 18th while the kids are home from school you can take the time to get them into Nature. Nature Cat that is. Nature Cat is a funny new show on PBS Kids about a house cat named Fred who dreams of getting outdoors as often as possible. Once his family leaves for the day he does just that. He gets out and has adventures in nature with his friends. I learned about this show last year at the PBS Annual Meeting and even got to meet David and Adam Rudman the creators of the show. These guys are quite funny and really want kids to watch the show and then get out and explore their own backyards.
To help me and my kids in our backyard nature adventures we were given a special Nature Cat kit that included fun printouts on how to make tracks with Paint, Crayons or Play Dough. There was also a book titled, “I Love Dirt” which is an outdoor activity book. The thing is, we just had our first snowfall and getting outside to play in the dirt and mud is going to have to wait for a while. We’ll have to hold off on that for now and try and do some cold weather related outdoor activities. We will be saving the Kaleidoscope Flower Garden for the Spring because we’d like to get the more flowers around the yard.
The kit also included a screener of the episodes that will be part of the special on Monday. They are four 11 minute episodes with topics on city animals, streams, seeds and rainbows. Full descriptions are below. I would also like to point out that the special will repeat during the week, be available for free on the Nature Cat website and on the PBS KIDS Video App which is accessible on a variety of mobile devices and on platforms such as Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Xbox One and Chromecast.
