back to school with ncircle entertainment :: review + giveaway

It’s October and we have officially survived the first month of Back-to-School. WOO HOO! As I’m sure you all know, this is a serious cause for joy and celebration. Thankfully, most of us are now in the groove of recharging kids after a long day at school, or just entertaining the ones too little for all day school. {Who knew that big siblings would be so handy when you want to do things like take an uneventful shower?}

Even with homeschooling my girls we have to take some time every afternoon to wind down and recharge and I was ever so grateful when NCircle Entertainment contacted me about their Back-to-School promo for five wonderful and educational NCircle Entertainment DVDs! Not only do I get a chance to just sit quietly and rest, my girls are having some much needed downtime while still learning!

Octonauts: Deep Sea Mission :: On this exciting DVD, join the Octonauts as they explore the hidden depths of the Midnight Zone! Peso must conquer his fears to treat a Vampire Squid! Dashi and Inkling go head to head with hungry Gulper Eels! Then, Barnacles, Kwazii and crew must rescue sea creatures before an underwater volcano erupts! This DVD includes 6 episodes with a run time of 70 minutes.

The Wiggles: Apples & Bananas :: Join the Wiggles as they add their special Wiggles magic to favorite nursery rhymes and songs, including “This Little Piggy Went to Market,” “Itsy Bitsy Spider,” The Wheels on the Bus,” and “This Old Man Came Rolling Home!” This DVD includes 22 favorite songs and has a run time of 65 minutes.

Cat in the Hat: Show & Tell Sure is Swell! :: Summer is over, and fall is now here. Let’s go back to school; the best time of year! Our favorite part about going to class? Why show and tell, how great you should ask. But what should we show, oh what can it be? Tune in with the Cat to find out and see! This DVD includes 5 stories  about migration, growing up, and sight and has a run time of 60 minutes.

Animal Atlas: Animal ABC’s :: Introduce preschoolers to the alphabet using the amazing animal kingdom! Practicing your ABC’s has never been so fun! This DVD has a run time of approximately 60 minutes.

Sid the Science Kid: The Ruler of Thumb :: Sid learns all about the science of tools like rulers and magnifying glasses and how they help us. In fact, Sid even finds out how to measure a giant blue whale! This DVD contains 4 episodes with a run time of approximately 115 minutes plus bonus content.

As always, my girls have their favorites (still stuck on a learning kick about all things animal related) but really, you can’t go wrong with these great educational DVDs from NCircle Entertainment!
