Nick jr Easter 2012 round up

You may have noticed by now that we're big cartoon fans in our house! I love watching them just as much as my little boy so we often snuggle up and watch something together - it's lovely to chat about what we are watching and I could never get bored of watching him act out his favourite bits.

We're excited by the special entertainment Nick Jr are planning for Easter!

Dora the Explorer: Dora's Easter Adventure. First shown on Friday 30th March at 4.30pm and repeated over the Easter season,
7 year old bilingual Dora and her monkey, Boots must rescue the hip-hop bunny's basket of eggs from Swiper the fox before the big Easter egg hunt. Their adventure takes them through the Rainbow Garden singing Easter songs and riding on a giant rubber duck to save the basket!

Team Umizoomi: The Umi City Egg Hunt.

In a race against time, the team use their maths skills to find and save the special rainbow egg from being scrambled, this adventure takes Milli, Geo and Bot down a rabbit hole and into an amazing world of rabbits. I love the use of maths and patterns in Umizoomi and Blake, at almost 3 often is capable of counting along or, with a little help, figuring out the patterns.

Tickety Toc Launches Monday 23rd April at 8.15am (Mon - Fri 8.15am throughout April)
Brand new Tickety Toc, twins Tommy and Tallulah are fast paced and energetic and help children laugh as they learn. This is a special clock on the wall of a shop, Tommy and Tallulah pop out  of the clock as it chimes every hour but the cartoon is all about what happens when they go back in! We already love the puppy dog train, Owl and slapstick comedy this sweet CGI cartoon delivers and looking forward to watching more episodes!

Tickety Toc: Exercise Time. 11mins
Tommy and Tallulah race around finding people to exercise with including a ping pong playing cow who's moovellous!

Tickety Toc: Bubbles. 11mins
I have this to thank for Blake demanding I blow extremely large bubbles! If only I could produce bubbles as large as these!
