Summer Birthday Bash! Nickelodeon Favorites: Summer Vacation DVD Review
My favorite kind of kids DVD are the compilations that include a few episodes from all my kids' favorite shows. Nickelodeon will be releasing a new DVD just like this on June 21st. Its called "Summer Vacation", and it brings together lots of fun characters like Dora, Diego, Blue Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba and more. All of the episodes center around different ways to enjoy summer time fun in the sun. There are six episodes including the following:
Dora the Explorer – Baby Crab
Dora and Boots are having a blast at the beach when all of a sudden they hear a call for help. A baby crab has gotten stuck in a net on his way to bring his mother a present. Fortunately, Dora finds a pair of scissors inside Backpack and quickly frees Baby Crab, but he's forgotten which way to go. Dora and Boots need help to take Baby Crab through the Squishy Squid's Musical Sand Castle, over a mountain of rhythmically Snapping Clams and across the ocean to his mami on Crab Island.
Go, Diego, Go! – Panchita the Prairie Dog
At the Rescue Ranch, Diego and Alicia find Panchita, a Mexican Prairie Dog who needs to find a nice grassy prairie for her family. Diego and Alicia turn Rescue Pack into a wagon and head out with Panchita and her nine brothers and sisters. At the train tracks, two prairie dogs fall off the wagon and they need help to jump over the train tracks. Next, at the Dry River Bed, Panchita gets caught on a floating log, but Alicia uses her Rescue Rope to lasso her. Finally, Panchita and the family make it all the way to the grassy prairie where they make a new underground home.
The Wonder Pets! – Save the Hermit Crab! / Save the Dolphin
The Wonder Pets take a break from their vacation in Cancun to help a Hermit Crab who has outgrown his shell. Afterwards, the Wonder Pets travel to Hawaii to save a Young Dolphin who has gotten caught in a fisherman's net.
Blue's Clues – Blue’s Big Car Trip
Blue’s Clues is hitting the road! Blue puts her booster seat in Carmen, an animated talking car, and sets off on a journey. Along the way, they enjoy the fun of riding in a car: buckling up, singing songs and using the sights out the window to play interactive games. There are exciting stops along the way and new places – the gas station, the post office, the tollbooth and many more.
Yo Gabba Gabba! – Summer
All the characters in Gabba Land use the outdoors and friends to capture the happiness of summertime. In “Bubbles,” “Summertime” and “Jumpy Jump,” everyone has fun doing different outdoor activities. Finally, the gang has a pool party and learns to take turns on the slide in the “Wait Your Turn” song.
Ni Hao, Kai-lan – The Hula Duck Dance Party
Kai-lan is going to a party at the Hula’s Ducks’ new island beach house, but when the party games lead to Rintoo having to sit out each time, he starts to cry. Kai-lan, Rintoo and Ho-Ho need help to figure out a new way to play so no one is left out.
If you have any Nick Jr. fans in your household, this DVD is a must have. If you have any any kids with summer birthdays, this will definitely be on their wish list. If you want a copy for yourself, it will be available in stores nationwide including Target and Walmart and online starting 6/21/11 for the great low price of $16.99.
