If you can imagine, we aren’t home enough to watch a lot of television (just read my blog or follow me on Twitter). However, those times when I’m trying to get the three of us out the door to start the day and he is trying to get into mischief, I’ve been known to turn on Playhouse Disney for a few minutes. There are distinct shows he won’t watch…and I know this because he’ll actually turn the television off (I can’t complain about that, can I?) There are also those shows that I struggle to get him away from, particularly if the episode has not finished. Timmy Time is one of them.
Who would have guessed that an animated series, sans dialogue, would be so appealing to preschoolers? I wasn’t even sure my son would get it. But as we were watching, my son started telling me why Timmy was so sad during one of the episodes. And then he started waking up early to watch it! Here is a little more information about the show from the site:
Timmy Time follows the adventures of Timmy, a little lamb with a lot to learn as he enters preschool. Fans of Aardman’s hit children’s series Shaun the Sheep will recognize Timmy as the baby lamb on the farm who is frequently drawn into all kinds of chaotic adventures by the mischievous older sheep. Used to having his way by being “the only lamb in the flock,” Timmy is now heading to preschool to graze on some important life lessons about playing nicely with others, namely his fellow classmates of the furry, feathered and spiky types.
Timmy Time really requires that children watch and think about what’s going on, as opposed to shows that children can “watch” without really watching them. In reality, it’s more accurate to portray animals that don’t speak. Timmy Time uses “expressive character animation, gesture and reactions, comedy and slapstick, bleats, quacks, oinks, and the like” to portray everything from snacking and napping to painting and making music. You can imagine that the storylines must be relatively simple for a preschooler to “get it,” however, children will watch as Timmy and his friends help someone in need and show respect to others.
Timmy Time’s Halloween-themed episode airs on Monday, October 25th at 7:00 am and 11:00 am with repeat airings on the 29th at 11:00 am and the 31st at 5:30 am (eek!).
