Wisharoo Park...Review & Giveaway!

You all know how important I think quality children's programming is.  When the kids watch television I like it to be something of substance while also being something they find enjoyable.  Sometimes it is hard to find this balance though....educational AND appealing can be a bit of a tough one to master but I have found a multimedia line which does it to perfection...Wisharoo Park!


Wisharoo Park is dedicated to promoting positive self-image and self-esteem in preschool age children. It was originally introduced by airing as a children’s TV series on PBS stations across the country and is now rolling out as a dynamic multimedia program which includes the interactive website WisharooPark.com, DVDs and more! .


Unique among preschool programs, Wisharoo Park is designed to help children age 3 – 6 recognize and appreciate their individuality. With its groundbreaking technology-based curriculum, Wisharoo Park helps children discover and understand their personal strengths and put them on the road to developing greater self-esteem.  The Wisharoopark.com enchanting online community stars a whimsical cast of lovable animated, puppet and human characters who are featured in games, videos, music and more!  Each week exciting new activities and content are added that are sure to keep parents and their kids coming back again and again.


The kids and I were sent some some adorable Wisharoo Park Star finger puppets along with a 2 disc DVD set of the series and all three of the kids LOVED it.  It really is a fun series.  The characters are super engaging and the songs and stories really engrossing.  My boys really seemed to enjoy the characters of Pompy (a skunk rocking a cool Elvis hairdo!) and Monkey B ( a music loving, hat sporting monkey!).  The cast is just full of interesting characters which help drive home the positive messages the show promotes.  The little wish star puppets were tons of fun and the kids have been having a blast with these on their hands...such a cute and imaginative toy!


On top of the great DVD's, Wisharoo Park's website has been a big hit, especially with "W".  He especially likes the game section which includes jigsaw puzzles which he just adores.  We have also enjoyed the Activities section which includes printable sorting games, coloring pages and instructions on how to make a drum.  This is, for sure, a website in which you can feel comfortable with your children navigating.


Wisharoo Park gets thumbs up from mom and company for the DVD's, the website AND the finger puppets!  You can find all this fun over at Wisharoo Park!
