Growing up, my sister, brother, and I all had Christmas stockings that would be filled with goodies when we awoke on Christmas morning.  Even though we knew when to expect them to be filled, we would continue to squish them each morning just in case.  Of course, there were times when they appeared to have bulges (and were still empty) which added to our daily fun and anticipation of what Christmas morning would bring.  Now that I am a parent, I like to find some fun things to include in our children’s Christmas stockings each year.  I was happy to partner with PBS for this review on some stocking stuffer or Christmas gifts ideas.

~Caillou’s Holiday Favorites~

Caillou’s Holiday Favorites is a three pack boxed set that includes “Caillou’s World Of Wonder”, “Caillou’s Winter Wonders”, and “Caillou’s Holiday.”  This is a great set to get everyone in the holiday mood.  Caillou’s Holidays shares Caillou’s love for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  Caillou’s Winter Wonders is a collection of four episodes: Caillou the Snowman, Caillou’s Christmas, It’s Cold Outside, and Winter.  Caillou’s World of Wonder joins Caillou in his everyday life as imaginations take over.  Lots of pretending and role-playing is sure to spark fun and inspire.  Currently available at shopPBS.org for $14.99.

~Super WHY ‘Twas The Night Before Christmas’~

Super WHY Twas The Night Before Christmas includes four episodes including the episodes: Twas the Night Before Christmas, The Ghost Who Was Afraid of Halloween, The Three Feathers, and The Stars in the Sky for a running time of 100 minutes.  Super WHY is a great show that encourages interaction and learning.  I am thrilled with the fundamental reading skills the kids are learning while watching.  Super WHY encourages children to investigate the alphabet, practice spelling, and looking for answers in a book.    Currently available at shopPBS.org for $9.99.

~Dinosaur Train ‘Dinosaurs in the Snow’~

The Dinosaur Train Dinosaurs in the Snow DVD contains eight short episodes with running time a total of about 120 minutes.  This is a great educational series where characters search for answers by riding taking a ride on the Dinosaur Train and going through the time tunnel.  I love that children are encouraged to make a hypothesis and explore characteristics of animals.  Currently available at shopPBS.org for $9.99.

~Seasons of Adventure ‘PEEP and the Big Wide World’~

PEEP and the Big Wide World: Seasons of Adventure is an 8-episode collection about a little chick (Peep) and his robin and duck friends (Chirp and Quack).  With a running time of about 100 minutes, Duck will have giggles abounding throughout.  Exploring the wonderful world we live in with Peep and his friends is sure to be a fun way to pass some time.     Currently available at shopPBS.org for $9.99.

~Caillou ‘Let’s Go Sledding’~

The single DVD Caillou ‘Let’s Go Sledding’ contains three fun episodes: Caillou Learns Patience, Caillou in the Garden, and Caillou the Snowman.  Join Caillou in his daily adventures while he learns life lessons.  Packed full of Caillou imagination and fun, Caillou ‘Let’s Go Sledding’ has a run time of about 75 minutes.  Currently available at shopPBS.org for $9.99.

PBS is a station that I have come to know, love, and trust in their children’s programming.  Our kids have enjoyed all of the characters and movies above and we look forward to having them in our collection so we can view them time and time again.
