Do you have a preschooler who "wants to know everything about everything"? Well then he'll be in good company with Jim Henson Productions inquisitive 5 year old Sid. Bunny girl loves Sid the Science Kid and honestly I love settling down on the couch and watching him on PBS Kids too!

One of Bunny girl's favorite parts in each episode is when Sid shouts his name into his microphone and it echos out powerfully.(That somehow tickles her no end!)
If your little one loves that part too, you really should pick up Playskool's Sid the Science Kid Gotta Know microphone

Perfect for little hands to grasp, this replica of Sid's microphone is 6.5 x 3.5 x 9 inches in dimension and uses 3 AAA batteries to work. The 4 colored buttons when respectively pressed resound laughter, provide an applause, play the Sid the Science Kid theme song and (Bunny girl's favorite one of all...) create an echo when spoken into the set.
The little ones will also be humored to hear silly sounds (like the moo-ing of a cow!) randomly popping up when they press the 'theme music' button.

This is an entertaining toy for your child especially if they like 'pretend play' and if they're Sid fans, then all the better!

Pair the toy with the Sid the Science Kid-Gizmos and Gadgets DVD

Your preschooler will spend 115 minutes with Sid, learning about how heavy things can be lifted and what helps make our lives easier, with the 4 featured episodes

• The Broken Wheel
• My Slide
• Sid's Amazing Invention and
• The Tree House

Not only will your child enjoy watching Sid but he/she will walk away learning something new. (Thanks to the DVD Bunny girl now knows what a pulley is.)

CLOSED: Weather Kid Sid (+Sid the Science Kid dvd Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

Bunny girl loves Sid the Science Kid and recently she has been full of questions about the weather, so it was perfect timing when we received the Weather Kid Sid dvd for review.

If you haven't watched the Sid the Science Kid shows your preschooler is missing out on one of the cutest ways he/she can learn about 'everything and anything'. Sid and his friends spend each episode learning about something new.

In this dvd the 4 buddies learn about

• Why the rain is important and the role clouds have in helping bring on the rain in Sid's Rainy Play Date
• The importance of the sun, protecting one's self from the glaring rays and more in Special Sunny Dad Day
• Changing weather temperatures in Sid's Holiday Adventure and
  
• Whoosh! The wind and its effects in The Wind Did It.

Each episode also includes fun upbeat songs, great lessons with Teacher Susie and laughs with the gang's 'Good Laughternoon' segment.

I haven't, personally, seen an episode I don't like yet and would definitely recommend Sid the Science Kid to any preschool aged child who loves music and fun learning!

Weather Kid Sid is an NCircle Entertainment and Jim Henson Company release with an approximate run time of 115 minutes for all 4 episodes.


Buy it:

You can buy the Weather Kid Sid dvd for 12.49 US$.


Win it:

One reader will have the opportunity to win a copy of the Weather Kid Sid dvd.

CLOSED: Sid the Talkin' Science Kid Plush (R&G)

Bunny girl has a few tele-programs she loves watching. One hot favorite is PBS Kids educational show Sid the Science Kid.

Produced by Jim Henson Productions and KCET, this inquisitive but very lovable preschooler takes the viewer to his preschool class every morning and introduces the viewer to the whens,whats and whys there are in the surroundings and the world.

I remember when Bunny girl was initially a little apprehensive about going to Preschool for the first time, we watched a lot of Sid on PBS as I wanted her to see how her Preschool class could be as much fun as teacher Susie's class. By God's Grace her teachers are just as awesome as teacher Susie!!

Hence I was obviously excited to show Bunny girl the new Playskool Talking Plush replica of Sid when it arrived.

Each time you press cuddly Sid's belly he shouts out one of six of his famous phrases and I think by far our favorite is his "Sid the Science kid" echo.

Sid the Talkin' Science Kid Plush is suggested for children aged 3 years and older. Bunny girl is presently 3 years, 9 months old and though she had fun pressing Sid's belly for quite a while, I personally felt she was perhaps a little grown up for the talking plush.

What did grab her attention the longest though, was Sid's Sticker Chart episode on dvd that comes with the Plush. (Great idea to add the dvd as well!)

If you haven't introduced your preschooler to the Sid the Science kid series yet you're missing out on a fun world of learning...do check your local listings and tune in to have your child meet and learn with Sid and his buddies.


Buy it:

You can buy a Sid the Talkin' Science Kid Plush for 24.99 US$ from Toys R Us. Vlub it with the 3$ off coupon from Coupons.com to get it at only 21.99 US$!
