Wow! Wow! Wobbzy is an Emmy-winning educational series
designed for Preschool aged children - but that doesn't mean their older
siblings, parents, and grandparents won't also love this adorable video. It has six
episodes, each with an important lesson for your child, and fun songs to
help with retention. The songs are frequent and quite catchy - you'll find
yourself singing along with your child.
The first episode, Run
For Fun, encourages viewers to lead an active life because exercise can be
fun. The characters stress, 'prepare, practice, and have fun!' and "if it's
done with fun, you already win!" What a Card teaches that you shouldn't
be nice to someone just because they have something you want - you should be
nice to everyone because people deserve to be treated well. Wubbzy learns in The Nutty Shuffle that no one likes to
play with cheaters, as well as the importance of being a gracious winner. In Hoop Dreamz Wubbzy learns the old lesson
of two wrongs not making a right; just because Wubbzy's friend left him out
earlier doesn't mean he should leave him out of his fun now. Wubbzy's Big Idea teaches that too much
of a good thing can end up disastrous. The final episode, Rush Hour, stresses that when a job is not done well, it creates a
bigger mess than before; it is better to take your time and do things correctly
the first time. Help your child understand the lessons in
each episode by asking questions about how the lesson may be relevant to his or her life or situation. What forms of exercise does your child
like to do? What would your child do if his or her friends were too busy
to play that day? What sorts of things does your child do to show his or
her friends that they are special? It's also fun to sing and dance along with
the songs after each episode!
My three-year-old friend, Dano, loves to hum along to the
songs at the end of the each episode while he dances around the room. He asked
me to join in, so I shook my booty right along side him, laughing the whole
time.
