Vaughn the Science Kid

I don't know how many of you let your kids watch tv but if you do I hope you have access to PBS Kids. We have recently discovered how wonderful the shows on this channel are.

I credit Vaughn knowing all his letters to Word World. It is a great show were everything is built with words. Vaughn loves to play "Build a Word", he gets out his letters and we build words together. It's not quite as fun as in the show because in the show when you build a word, the word turns into that thing . . .but we still have fun.

I am also totally in love with Sid the Science Kid. Sid is a kid that wants to know everything about everything. Each episode is about Sid, his friends and Teacher Suzy discovering and learning something new (there is also signing and dancing which makes it the best show ever). Our favourite episode is about Sid's slide to the side and that he can't slide in his shoes because there is too much friction. My 3 year old will now tell you about friction and how it stops you from sliding in your shoes and how it helps cars stop. We've also learned about simple machines and how pulley's can lift heavy things. The most recent episode I PVR'd was about Germs, maybe he will find a new love for washing his hands!

I know that bragging about your kids is annoying for other people to read but I love how much he's learning. I am so proud of my boy!

Really who said TV is all bad?!?!?
