Sid the Science Kid the Movie Review and Giveaway! - CLOSED!

Earlier this week NCircle Entertainment released Sid the Science Kid the Movie to DVD!  My kids and the daycare kids were so excited to see this full length movie since they are such big fans of the show: Sid the Science Kid that airs on PBS.  In this movie, Sid and his friend Gabriella get to visit a new science museum before it opens to the public after winning a contest!  The kids meet a scientist (voiced by Christopher Lloyd from Back to the Future) who designed robot tour guides.  One of the robots isn't working properly and Sid and his friends must find it to save the day and save the grand opening of the museum.  The kids loved this movie and asked to watched it numerous times.  This is a great movie for all fans of the adorable program, Sid the Science Kid!

DVD Synopsis:

Sid and his classmate Gabriela enter a contest and win the exclusive opportunity to visit a new modern science museum before it opens to the public. There the kids meet a quirky scientist, voiced by special guest star Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future), who has designed robot tour guides of the future! Then one of the robots goes haywire and the grand opening is in jeopardy! It is up to Sid and his friends to work as a team to find the rogue robot and save the day!

NCircle Entertainment Halloween DVDs Review & Giveaway! - CLOSED!

NCircle Entertainment has got us covered with Halloween DVDs for our preschoolers' favorite shows!  We received 3 DVDs to review and the kids have been loving them!  They are all geared up for Halloween and watching Halloween episodes of their favorite shows, makes their excitement even greater!  The first one we watched was The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That: Tricks and Treats.  There are 3 stories with a running time of 35 minutes.  The kids love watching Sally, Nick and The Cat happen upon other animals!  These episodes feature bats, spider monkeys and a coconut crab!  The kids love learning about the different animals and of course the fun Halloween costumes!

DVD Description:

A new spooky adventure this DVD brings, with The Cat, Nick and Sally, Fish and the Things. Meet the eeriest critters you have ever seen, arrived just in time for this Halloween! There will be lots of tricks and, of course lots of treats, to share with the animal friends you will meet! There's a coconut crab, spider monkeys and bats, and plenty more fun with The Cat in the Hat!

Word World is a super fun show that the kids love to watch on PBS Kids.  They were super excited to see Word World: Kooky Spooky Halloween.  This show is so unique.  All of the animals and objects are actual words - just in the shapes and colors of the object.  This show works with kids on phonics, spelling, vocabulary and more.  All of this while having fun!  This DVD contains two episodes: "A Kooky Spooky Halloween" and "Sheep's Halloween Costume".  The kids had a great time watching this DVD and have asked to watch it over and over again since!

DVD Description:

• A Kooky Spooky Halloween - The WordFriends get their share of scares the night before Halloween, when Pig sleep walks and everyone thinks he's a ghost!
• Sheep's Halloween Costume - Sheep is making herself a super special fairy costume to wear for the big Halloween party. But what will she do when her WordFriends need pieces of her costume for their own use?

My favorite of the three was Sid the Science Kid: Sid's Spooky Halloween!  I'm such a fan of Sid the Science Kid - the kids love it too!  I just love how every episode, Sid asks a science question and learns the answer from his parents and at school with the help of his classmates and Teacher Suzie.  The songs are so catchy and I love that the kids are learning about science.  (I sometimes learn a thing or two also!)  This DVD contains fun Halloween science as well as a bonus story "Sid's Healthy Day".  The kids loved learning about bats, spiders and human skeletons and of course Sid and his friends dressed up for Halloween!

DVD Description:

It's Halloween! Join Sid and his friends as they discover how bats catch mosquitoes, why spiders are expert engineer web builders, and how skeletons make up the foundation of our bodies. The kids dress up to celebrate Halloween at school, and Teacher Suzie leads them in a special Halloween parade song to show off their costumes! With Sid the Science Kid, Halloween can be spooky and scientific!
