Stocking Stuffer Idea - Daniel Tigers Neighborhood #MakingMyList

When I was young, I went to a day care.  I remember that every day, they would get us ready for when our parents would pick us up.  We would all sit and watch a couple kid friendly shows, they would wash our hands and face (day care was rough... we played all the time OUTSIDE!)  fix our hair and then we would go home...   One of the shows we watched?  Mister Rogers Neighborhood.
I loved it as a kid and when I saw that they had sort of "remade" Mister Rogers show, I was THRILLED!!!!   Granted, it is geared for the preschool age, but every now and then I still catch Broxton watching it.

The show I am talking about?  Daniel Tigers Neighborhood!
This cartoon show follows Daniel Tiger, son of Daniel Striped Tiger from Mister Rogers Neighborhood.  There are several other characters you will recognize as sons / daughters / nephews of the original Mister Rogers Show.  If you have a preschooler on your list, grab this and be the hit of the holidays!!!!

The first TV series inspired by the iconic, award-winning MISTER ROGERS’ NEIGHBORHOOD, DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD, from The Fred Rogers Company, stars 4-year-old Daniel Tiger, son of the original program’s Daniel Striped Tiger, who invites young viewers into his world, giving them a kid’s-eye view of his life. As they closely follow and share Daniel’s everyday adventures, preschoolers ages 2-4 and their families learn the fun and practical strategies and skills necessary for growing and learning. One of the key ingredients that sets the series apart is its groundbreaking use of catchy, musical strategies that reinforce each theme and that preschoolers and parents will both sing – and use – together in their daily lives. DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD, which debuted in September 2012, airs Monday-Friday on PBS KIDS (check local listings).
