dora the explorer: dora’s butterfly ball :: review and giveaway

dora's butterfly ballOn February 12, you will be able to pick up a copy of Dora’s newest adventure, Dora’s Butterfly Ball.  Highly anticipated to DVD (by my girls…and many others I’m sure)!  Let me tell you a little about it:

“Dora, Boots, and their friend Mariposa are on their way to fly, twirl and loop-de-loop at the Butterfly Ball! Will you help them make it there in time to get their magical wings?”

Not only does this DVD include the Dora’s Butterfly Ball episode, but it also includes:

¡Vamos a Pintar!
Join Dora and Boots on an art-filled adventure! To help their friend finish her mural at the Art Studio, they’ll need your help to travel through some famous paintings! 

¡Feliz Día de los Padres!
Join Dora for a Father’s Day adventure! When her present for Papi gets blown away, Dora needs your help to catch up to Little Kite before she flies out over the ocean!

Dora has been around our house for a few years now…and while I don’t enjoy every episode, a majority of them are acceptable to me. 🙂  this is a fun one with music and learning working together to make a great episode.

Dora’s Butterfly Ball :: $14.99 retail price, but on the date of this review it was found on Amazon for less.

A SIMPLE GIVEAWAY!!
One SIMPLE reader will win a copy of this DVD.  Here is how to enter:

    I like for the shows characters to be good role models since children also want to emulate what they see on TV.
