We have started letting the kids sit down and watch tv for a total of an hour a day (30 min in morning, 30 min in the afternoon). We are still searching for shows we think are okay, but we have found one - Handy Manny. They LOVE it...and I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I like the show too!
They like the music and will watch intently for 5 min then play for 10 with their toys or walk around the house, then come back and watch for 5 min. Today at Target, Chris said they heard a Handy Manny toy and kept looking around for it. Guess they know the music too!
The characters are all really cute, the animation is simple, the stories teach a lesson, plus it even teaches some Spanish! The 'tools' are all characters...could they be any more creative with the names?
Hammer - Pat
Screwdriver - Turner
Phillips Screwdriver - Felipe
Tape Measure - Stretch
Pliers - Squeeze
Saw - Dusty
Wrench - Rusty
Flashlight - Flicker

Hey, if you like those names, don't forget the candy store owner next door to Manny's shop. The owner of the candy store is a balding man with a comb over Mr. "LOW PART" Lopart...LOL
