Do your kids watch Sprout?

Sprout is a 24-hour preschool network.  Their programming is different then other networks.  They are launching FLOOGALS a new original series created for kids ages 2-6.  

FLOOGALS follows the adventures of three exuberantly inquisitive aliens exploring Planet Earth.  Every day an exciting mission of experimentation, learning, and discovery awaits Captain Fleeker, First Officer Flo, and Junior Boomer as they explore the human way of life.  FLOOGALS follows the aliens’ hilarious antics as they learn about the oddities of the world, offering an unexpected and fun perspective on everyday life.  Each episode features the Floogals on a mission of discovery, using gadgets and teamwork to learn about this new planet.  The show features vibrant CGI animation alongside live action, and captures Earth from the perspective of these pocket-sized creatures. FLOOGALS encourages curiosity while grounding the excitement of exploration in the realities of a child’s world.

Each character has their own personalities.
-Captain Fleeker is a seeker of any open door to adventure.

-First Officer Flo is a collector of clues and explorer of animals, water and more.

-Junior Boomer, the tiniest Floogal who likes to dream big and has an eager eye to discover the “hooman” creatures living on Earth.

FLOOGALS encourages preschoolers to “floogal” their own world—to explore, observe, and view things from a different perspective.

FLOOGALS premieres on Sprout today at 8pm ET/5pm PT.

***CLOSED***Giveaway-SANUS TV Mount

***Disclosure-Sample product will be received to review.  All opinions stated will be based on personal experience.

For many Americans, a flat panel TV is a great way to enjoy family time and entertainment. However, most parents are unaware of the safety risks that flat panel TVs pose for kids. Due to increasing size and new ultra thin designs, today’s flat panel TVs can easily tip over when bumped or pulled, toppling off of furniture and causing injury or even death.
Bringing this risk to the forefront, SANUS, the leading designer and manufacturer of flat panel TV wall mounts, has partnered with Safe Kids Worldwide. By educating consumers on the risk of unsecured flat panel TV’s, SANUS and Safe Kids Worldwide offer safe solutions for families across the nation by reducing TV tip-over related injuries and fatalities.

A 2011 US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) report on flat panel TV safety revealed:

· A child is killed every three weeks from an unsecured TV

· Every 45 minutes a child visits an emergency room due to a TV tip-over related injury

· Between 2000 and 2011, 215 fatalities have resulted from TV tip-over

· An estimated 17,000 people each year, the majority of which are children, are treated for injuries from TV tip-overs

· Reported cases have increased almost 25% from 2006 to 2010, and over the last 10 years, injuries have increased by 31%

Kaijudo Duel Masters In-Home Premiere Party

"Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters" premiered on Saturday, June 2 at 8 pm ET/PT on The Hub TV network, but my son and his friends were able to be among the first to experience this animated action-fantasy series! The show follows the adventures of a young hero, Ray, who possesses the rare ability to befriend and duel alongside fantastical creatures from a parallel dimension. Evil forces would have these creatures tamed and enslaved, so Ray and his two best friends must join the ranks of the mysterious Duel Masters to ensure the survival of both races before it's too late.

What is summer without some summer fun?  New show for the kiddos to be on the look out for.  Matt invited over some of his friends and their little brothers.  And they watched:

•Episode 101: "The Natural - Part 1": Ray and his friends are introduced to the world of the Kaijudo Duel Masters, a secret order of heroes sworn to protect mankind from fantastical creatures - and from the evil forces of The Choten, who would use those creatures to conquer the world.

•Episode 102: "The Natural - Part 2": Ray, Allie and Gabe explore the wonders of the Kaijudo Temple and learn the basics of creature dueling. The Kaijudo Duel Masters are impressed by Ray's abilities (but skeptical of his unconventional techniques) when he summons the powerful Tatsurion The Unchained.

•Episode 103: "The Natural - Part 3": Ray, Allie and Gabe pay a visit to the Temple Stables and bond with some new creatures only to find themselves preparing for battle when one of The Choten's followers releases a deadly threat in the Temple.

The boys really liked Kaijudo!  They are adding this show to their favs!
