JOIN DORA FOR EXCITING UNDERWATER ADVENTURES!

Available on DVD January 13, 2015

Are your kids into Dora the Explorer.  Ever since the new Dora and Friends: Into the City series premiered, they really haven't been watching a lot of of the old Dora animated show.  Have you found this with your Dora fans in your house?  

But, thanks to Santa for bringing the girls Dora the Explorer and Boots toys, as the recent screener of Dora the Explorer: Mermaid Adventures Collection, which I was sent this past weekend, they are getting back into the old Dora the Explorer series.  While I have to admit I am liking the newer, grown up Dora, I am still a fan of the old series, which has Dora hanging out with Boots and her animal friends.  This animated series has really helped my girls in learning Spanish, as well as new vocabulary, thanks to the repetition of words and catchy songs.  

When I heard that Nickelodeon and Paramount Home Distribution were releasing this new DVD, which arrives in stores tomorrow, Tuesday, January 13rd, I couldn't wait to share it with my girls.  They have been busy watching the Christmas Dora DVD we had, since the holidays, and I was looking for a new Dora DVD to switch it up with. :-)

Savannah and Bella were so excited when they saw me taking the Dora the Explorer: Mermaid Adventures Collection out of the mail, and couldn't wait to watch it.  We received this 2-DVD set on Saturday morning, and have since watched it 4 times.  The girls even went to bed early last night without a problem, as they asked if they cooperated with bedtime, if they could watch the Dora the Explorer: Mermaid Adventures Collection in the AM if there was no school.  How could I say "no?"  And, like that, the girls were fast asleep at 8PM.  It was a miracle! :-)

In addition to the 6 full-length, already aired episodes, this 2-disc DVD collection also contains two catchy music features, including one from "Yo Gabba Gabba!, that are not to be missed.  Halfway through each of these songs, the girls already had down the chorus and were ready to sing the songs again and again.  I even found my husband tapping his feet to the "Clean-up" song. He even used this song to get the girls to clean up their toys last night. :-)  

If you have a Dora the Explorer fan in your house, who is a fan of the old Dora animated series, then you will want to pick up the Dora the Explorer: Mermaid Adventures Collection, when it arrives in stores tomorrow.  This DVD collection will provide hours of entertainment to your little ones, as they go on underwater adventures with Dora and her friends.  My girls can't stop raving about it, and I don't see them growing tired of this collection anytime soon. I know your kids will love the Dora the Explorer: Mermaid Adventures Collection, too!
