Join Dora the Explorer and her very best friend Boots the Monkey as they trek through one adventure after another laughing and learning everyday.
Dora the Explorer, the adorable bilingual heroine, teaches preschoolers and youngsters the value of friendship, family and fun as well as the joy of learning and cooperation.
Unlike other preschool shows which offer passive entertainment or easy solutions, Dora the Explorer encourages the viewer to get involved with a highly intereactive learning experience. Often times, Dora the Explorer turns to the viewer and addresses them directly asking for help or advice or even encouragement. And along the way she offers great mini learning experiences and always has a kind word for all. Of course, there are plenty of fun songs to sing and dance along to. And colorful characters like Tico the Squirrel, Talking Backpack, cousin Diego, Swiper the Sneaky Fox, Isa the Iguana and Benny the Cow.
Dora the Explorer actively engages younger viewers to use their intelligence, creativity and intuition to help solve complex problems that she faces during each show. Preschoolers have the option of pointing out the best course of action from the options presented on the screen or learning a new way of doing things.
During each show Dora converses directly with the viewer and asks them to really think about the problem before arriving at a conclusion and to use problem solving skills to come up with a happy ending.
And, when the adventure is at the end, everyone dances around and sings in celebration and with a sense of accomplishment.
To assist the child's education, each Dora the Explorer episode involves multiple intelligences including logical/mathematical, verbal/linguistic, bodily/kinesthetic, interpersonal/intrapersonal, visual/spatial and naturalistic to fully expand learning potential.
Educational games include counting, sorting, spelling, basic math, rhymes, singing, memory games, name games and many others work together to help the preschooler build a solid foundation in reasoning and logic. In any given episode you're likely to find numerous science, foreign language, math and social studies lessons along with a generous helping of singing and dancing; all presented at an age appropriate level.
Everything you would expect from the balanced preschool/kindergarten curriculum, right in your own home. The bilingual Dora character regularly uses Spanish words in context when referring to objects or places and then quickly provides an English alternate word and definition allowing the preschooler to grasp the Spanish language in a natural way.
Often, the bilingual characters converse entirely in Spanish language and then Dora translates. This puts the Spanish language in a more natural context while providing a solid basis for learning.
Dora the Explorer cartoon show is good, safe fun for the young child and chosen by parents world wide.
EachDora adventureprovides a safe haven from the harsher realities often portrayed in cartoons for older kids.
Notably lacking are references to world politics; suggestive situations; guns or violence often found in cartoons for older kids. The show's emphasis on learning through creativity and fun will captivate young audiences.
But what is sure to keep them coming back for more is Dora's 'can-do' attitude, ebullient personality and generous heart.
