subject: Watch Hip New Kids Shows Together With Satellite Tv [print this page] Summertime for a lot of parents means getting to spend quality time with their young children that they wouldnt normally have. With nicer weather they can take trips to the beach, go to the park, play in the pool, ride bikes, or just go for walks. But when the weather is so hot that the local weatherman puts out a heat advisory, then parents and children are limited to activities that are either in a pool or at home. As most people dont have everyday access to a pool, parents need to get creative. One way to spend quality and still entertaining time with your child is to stay at home and watch educational kids shows and movies together on satellite tv. Some of most creative, interactive and fun childrens shows can be found in your local satellite tv listings.
Dora the Explorer, for example is a great animated show that helps to teach your child Spanish. The shows is interactive every step of the way and as the lead character, Dora, is always asking for help to solve problems. You and your child can work together, from the cool comfort of your air conditioned home to help Dora find her way. For the little boys in your life, she also has a male counterpart named Diego, who also needs help finding his way through the episode.

A new childrens show that is catching the attention of audiences young and old alike is Yo Gabba Gabba.
