Holiday Gift Guide 2011: The Wiggles “It’s Always Christmas With You!” {DVD Review + Giveaway!}

We almost daily can be caught rocking, boppin’, swaying, singing, and  dancing along with The Wiggles! So when we heard that they’d be offering a brand new Christmas DVD this year, we were super excited. Another reason we were very excited is because this is their first Holiday album in seven years times!

The Wiggles “It’s Always Christmas With You!” DVD features 14 original tunes and seasonal favorites.  The Wiggles travel across three continents where they discover the diverse ways the holidays are celebrated by different cultures.This is great learning experience for the kids. I particularly loved the addition of the Irish choir!

“Dorothy the Dinosaur Meets Santa Claus” a fun animated special is included as a bonus feature. This special is 50 minutes long!  It was certainly a hit with the kids and unexpected treat! There’s also a fun holiday photo gallery to enjoy.

Celebrity guest Joey Fatone from “NSync makes an appearance to help out the Wiggles! Total runtime is about 2 hours long! This DVD is not rated and is great for the whole family.

We’ve been waiting a while to be put back into the Christmas Mood with our favorite friends from Down Under and that wait was well worth it! Their latest DVD  has done an excellent job in getting us into the Christmas spirit!

The suggested retail price is $9.99, and right now The Wiggles “It’s Always Christmas With You!” DVD on Amazon.com is $8.49! You can also find this DVD at places like Toys R Us, Target, Wal*Mart, www.NCircleEntertainment.com , to name a few places.

Christmas Colored Paper Chain

 

I’ve been looking for fun crafts to do with my three year old daughter to celebrate the Christmas season. This weekend we created a paper chain in Christmas colors to hang around the house. It doesn’t get much easier than this and it provides for a lot of fun. You can pre-cut or let your child cut our strips from red,white, and green colored construction paper. I pre-cut and then let my daughter use a glue stick to attach the ends together adding link after link in the pattern we choose. We plan on making another one soon as part of the decorations for my sons first birthday party!
