Wisharoo Park & Capezio Giveaway! Do the Duckle Dance!!


Last month I had the pleasure of telling you about a fun children's show and interactive website, Wisharoo Park.  It is such a quality show with fun characters and a great mix of fun and learning.  It has been a huge hit with all three of my kiddos.  This month, I am so incredibly excited to tell you about an amazing sweepstakes which partners Wisharoo Park up with Capezio (you know them from their great line of dance wear!).  They are giving away 20 Capezio and Wisharoo Prize Packs and 5 $500 dance scholarships.   Amazing prizes, right??

The Duckle Dance Sweepstakes is presented by Capezio and Wisharoo Park and to enter all you need to do is submit a  video of your little one(s) doing the Duckle Dance.  What it the Duckle Dance?  Here is the scoop...

So what is the Duckle Dance?  It’s a little bit of ballet, a little bit of tap, and a whole lot of whatever you want it to be but, most importantly, its moving and grooving family fun for all!   Don’t let the smooth moves and solid steps by the video’s dancers intimidate though as they are trained pros!

Be sure to keep in mind that although our promotional Duckle Dance video teaches specific dance steps, the Duckle Dance Sweepstakes Presented by Capezio and Wisharoo Park is all about fun and dance submissions are completely open to individual interpretation.  In the Duckle Dance no step is wrong, no leap falls short, no tap is off, no plié is blasé and no arabesque is grotesque.  The sky is the limit as Capezio and Wisharoo Park applaud and salute the creativity and individuality expressed by each and every entrant with prize winners to be chosen through a random drawing.

To enter, have fun watching the fun video with your kiddo's and then tape them doing their interpretation of the Duckle Dance!  Once you have your hit video upload it to your Facebook or YouTube account and then submit the link to www.wisharoopark.com/duckledance!  That is all it takes to be entered to win one of those great prizes!  On top of an entry for your child to win you will have the benefit of all the fun you can have doing the Duckle Dance together. Trust me...it is a blast!  We have been doing it here all week and are pretty fab at it.  My video camera is misbehaving but if I can get it working I will show you a clip of our moves!  
Be sure you enter the Duckle Dance Sweepstakes today at www.wisharoopark.com/duckledance.  Have fun!!

I am thrilled to tell you that one lucky Reviewed By Mom reader will win a Capezio and Wisharoo Prize Pack!!  This is one of the prizes in the Duckle Dance Sweepstakes and it really is amazing.  We received one over here and I simply can't wait to enroll Baby R in dance lessons so she can break in those shoes which were included.  The prize pack is worth over $100 and includes...

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!


Wisharoo Park is generously offering SIX lucky RBM readers a Wisharoo Park prize!  Here are the details...

Three Grand Prize packages each consisting of one Wisharoo Park DVD and six WishStars = a $40 value each
