Free First Episodes of Nick and Disney Shows

CouponCravings.com has a post about free first episodes of various Nickelodeon and Disney Channel TV shows you can download from iTunes for a limited time (appears it's until Monday, June 14, 2010). Most are shows for older kids (such as Hannah Montana), but there is at least Dora the Explorer. Check it out, if you're interested.

Science for Little Ones: Sid the Science Kid

Have you or your kids seen "Sid the Science Kid"? It's a fairly new (Sept. 2008) kids show on PBS from Jim Henson's production company; it's one of my favorites. It has great science lessons taught in ways little ones can understand and get excited about (I'd say Sid himself is in preschool). For instance, learn about weather, why it's important to brush your teeth, and why pancakes don't always turn out just right. You can then re-create the experiments at home. Plus, I want to go to the school Sid goes to! And have his room. So inviting and fun.

For a preview of the show and Sid's world, head to pbs.org's Sid page for episodes, games and activities.
