Emma was over the moon when she opened the package containing this 3 DVD box set. Apparently she had been wanting Dora Saves the Snow Princess for quite some time (unbeknownst to be). I guess this all happened after playing the video game at her cousins? We love Dora in our house… they kids learn a little bit of Spanish, learn problem solving skills, map reading skills, that “swiping” isn’t nice and more

I learned that in each episode, Dora invites young viewers to join her on an adventure or an exploration with a clearly defined goal at the end. Using Map to point out the stops on the way, Dora and the viewer must solve problems and overcome obstacles along the way to their goal. At the end of each episode, Dora, the viewer, and Dora’s friends, celebrate with Dora’s signature “We Did It” dance.

Hi, I can’t copy your button code. Everytime I try to highlight it I get “stuff it” coming up. I would love to add you button to my blog so I can get that extra entry. Could you maybe email me at
waidekaren@gmail.com

Thank you.
I found your blog because I was looking for Twitter followers. I saw that you had teenagers and young children and I thought it was really neat. I have a 19, 18 and 15 yr old and then we have a 4.5, 3 and 1 year old.
Glad I stopped on by. I didn’t know these were out on DVD in a set. My girls would love this.
