If you are the parent of an infant, toddler, or preschooler, you know what a challenge going to the movies can be. To be honest, I usually just give my son some grandma and grandpa time so that we can have a fun date night together. There is a, however, a fantastic program called Kidtoons which helps parents connect with their children by offering family-friendly, animated movies to theaters across the country. I’ve never done this with my son but it sounds like it would be a lot of fun! And if I’m in the theater with other screaming, jumping tots then how much more insane fun is that?
Earth Day is rapidly approaching and I wanted to share with you how Kidtoons plans to celebrate. They have compiled specially-themed episodes of SuperWHY! and WordWorld, along with music videos from RAGGS, SteveSongs and Franny’s Feet which will run throughout the month at participating Kidtoons theaters. Here is a brief overview of the episodes that will be airing for the rest of the month.
SuperWHY!/Tiddalick the Frog: Whyatt’s mom tells him that he’s wasting water. So Super Why and his friends dash into the Australian folk tale of Tiddalick the Frog and make the acquaintance of a funny amphibian and learn how important water is to the planet, along with a valuable lesson about conservation.
WordWorld/ W Drought: It’s a hot summer day and all the WordFriends are using water to stay cool. But all the letter W’s start to disappear, and you can’t have “water” without the letter W! Sheep leads the gang in the hunt to discover just who’s causing the W drought.
WordWorld/The Rainbow Birthday Cake: It is Frog’s birthday, and Duck wants to make him a big, beautiful birthday cake frosted in the colors of the rainbow. Such a cake requires lots of cans of frosting, and Duck learns he can’t just throw cans anywhere—they must be recycled.
If you’re looking for a fun way to engage your children this Earth Day, check out Kidtoons! At the end of the film, be sure to stay for a slew of fun giveaways including stickers, temporary tattoos, activity books or toys.
