PBS Programs never disappoint us!
I have always loved PBS and the fact that the shows that are on there are great for my little ones. Not only is it great programming for the entertainment factor, they also have educational aspects that is a great way to help "teach" younger minds without boring them with lectures! We don't always watch the television, but I love having it on for background noise. It is fun to see what actually grabs the attention of a little one and we mix it up with different shows from time to time. Another thing I love? Having the shows on DVD so that if its a time when that particular show isn't on, we still have the option to watch! Also to take when we visit grandparents as they don't have the kids shows ready to watch when we are there! Ha ha ha!!!! We were recently sent a few new DVDs of great PBS programming and I want to share with you a few newly released DVDs.
