For the preschool group and their parents who may be looking for ways to entertain them now that the big kids are back in school, here is a little something. "Imagination Movers" will be premiering on Playhouse Disney at 10am/9am (central) on Saturday, Sept. 6th.
Kids are probably already familiar with the blue cover-all clad singing group from their videos that have been showing between shows on Playhouse Disney for a couple of years. The Imagination Mover's website explains the show will feature music performances, stories and skits. The skits and stories are designed to teach children problem solving skills. The band members will work hard to solve "idea emergencies" by brainstorming. They hope that brainstorming will become a part of your child's vocabulary. You can also download coloring pages and play online games at the For Kids section their site. The Playhouse Disney website also has "Imagination Movers" coloring pages and music videos. I personally liked the ones on Imagination Movers better.
If you want to hear a little bit about the background of Imagination Movers and about New Orleans where the show is being filmed, listen to the MommyCast podcast about their visit to the set of "Imagination Movers". Paige and Gretchen, hosts of MommyCast, tell how the band members of Imagination Movers felt there was a hole left in children's educational TV when Mr. Rogers and Captain Kangaroo passed. They also talk about the bond between the band members and why the show is being taped in New Orleans. (To listen to the podcast, click on the MommyCast link. From there you can download it to your mp3 player or play it on your computer. You can also find all the MommyCast shows on iTunes. Look for show #319.)
