Please and Thank You by Barney and Friends
January 4th, 2010
There are lots of things
We can do to be nice,
Sometimes they’re hard to remember.
But there are two little things
You should never forget,
From January through December.
He’s talking ’bout please and thank you,
They’re called the magic words,
If you want nice things to happen,
They’re the words that should be heard,
Remember please and thank you,
‘Cause they’re the magic words.
(From the Please and Thank You song)
.
Manners are such an important factor in life that is often overlooked. I think we should be teaching our children from a very early age to be kind, considerate and respectful of one another. This is done through manners and Please and Thank You can go a long way when needed.
Preschoolers learn the importance of being kind and courteous to others when BarneyTM: Please & Thank You debuts on DVD January 5, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. Trusted by moms and adored by children, Barney displays sharing, caring, imagining, dancing and learning on television, online and through live events, home entertainment and publishing. The Emmy® award-winning series, Barney & FriendsTM is one of the top-rated preschool shows today, airing on PBS KIDS® and PBS KIDS SproutSM.
When Baby Bop forgets to say “please” and “thank you,” Barney realizes it’s time for a lesson on how magic words can make other people feel good inside. As Baby Bop daydreams about a world without good manners she realizes that being polite is not only important but it’s easy to do after all. The DVD features 19 favorite Barney songs including, “Please & Thank You,” “Being Together,” “Clean Up” and more.
Episodes include:
· Magic Words
· Tea-riffic Manners
· Caring Hearts
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES
- Baby Bop’s Tea Party Games:
- “Cakes, Cups and Colors” Interactive Game
- Alphabet Cookies” Interactive Game
Barney: Please & Thank You is available at retailers nationwide on Jan 5th, 2010 with a suggested retail price of $14.95.

Olivia (Giveaway)
August 18th, 2009THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED !!!
Olivia is Nickelodeon’s hit new series for Preschoolers. Olivia believes she can do anything - she’s a 6¾-year-old girl (well, girl pig that is) with limitless energy and lots of big ideas. And now she has her first full-length DVD. Olivia faces typical challenges that many preschoolers face. OLIVIA features a never seen before episode and three new-to-DVD episodes, along with an exclusive Olivia Photo Gallery introducing Olivia and all her friends. Olivia’s world is created in CG animation, giving the show a 3-D look and feel to entertain your child for hour after hour.
Very young children are innately playful and imaginative. They sing and paint and dance with abandon and Olivia is just like them. She moves in and out of fantasy and reality, imagining herself as a super hero, a pop star, or a mommy.
Created by Nickelodeon Home Entertainment and distributed by Paramount Home Entertainment, OLIVIA was available on August 11, 2009, for the suggested retail price of $16.99.
Want to learn more about Olivia? Visit her page on Nick Jr. where you’ll find free printables, recipes, crafts, and games.
Synopses
Olivia Acts Out: It’s time for the annual school play, but Olivia’s stuck playing the part of “Cow #2,” while Francine lands the starring role. It’s up to Olivia to make the most of her small part. With a little help from Julian, she choreographs a climactic “mooove” for herself and has the crowd on their feet.
Olivia Plays Piano: Olivia sees herself as a great concert pianist, though her piano teacher thinks she needs a little more practice. But when her little brother Ian begins taking his own piano lessons - and turns out to be pretty good - Olivia isn’t sure if there’s room for two prodigies in the family.
Olivia Trains Her Cat: When Olivia’s class holds a pet talent show, nobody can beat Francine’s amazingly talented cat Gwendolyn. Olivia’s lethargic cat Edwin, who barely moves, suddenly goes missing. Olivia then fancies herself a cat detective as she tracks down the missing cat.
Olivia Packs Up: Tired of having to share with her brother Ian, Olivia sets out on a trip around the block in search of a place free from little brothers. She imagines herself crossing a vast desert by camel - which isn’t all it’s cracked up to be - and eventually decides that having a little brother might not be so bad after all.
*The first OLIVIA picture book by Ian Falconer was published in 2000 to rave reviews. Since that time, Falconer has been the recipient of numerous awards and the Simon & Shuster book series has sold an impressive six million copies worldwide in 20 languages.
Enter to Win Olivia’s new DVD! Just leave a comment on this post telling me what your little ones loves about Olivia. All entries must be received by August 28 at 5 PM EST.

She is of Chinese heritage and will provide many adventures and learning opportunities for your PreSchooler.

They will learn to overcome their fear of trying new and different things and will have a great time looking at all the new and exciting things that China has to offer Kai-Lan and friends. Would you be scared to ride a boat if you had never been on one? Would you be willing to try new foods in a far-away country if you had never seen foods like that?
