Small Wonders Diverse Picks
If you have been looking for videos/shows with characters that resemble your child, and have the added element of the French learning, look no further!
The Bino and Fino Show is about a brother and sister. In each episode Bino and Fino, with the help of their friend Zeena the Magic Butterfly and their family, discover and learn things about Africa and the world. Some videos can also be found on Youtube.
"Es-tu prêt?" (Are you ready?)
A delightful series of mini clips that show children completing daily tasks, and explaining how to do so as they go about it. Here's Avery packing his bag for school.
A spin off of Mr. Roger's Dany Tigre, "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood" follows a 4 year old tiger and his all his friends who have fun as they learn all about growing up.
Follow Alicia and her friends around as they solve mysteries. My girls love this one.
I am showcasing the show Mini Yoga, but Mini ABC has a variety of videos for children.
This link will take you to the review of this wonderful series. "The series boasts standout messages about self-esteem and creativity, and its protagonist, Ben, is always willing to go out of his way to help others and to do the right thing. The show is set in the fictitious place called Motown (clearly intended to suggest Detroit) with homages to its historic musical and automotive past all around.
Urban scenery and the characters' ethnic diversity reflect the city setting as well. With Smokey Robinson on board as music producer and among the talented contemporary voice cast, and prominent themes about family ties, creativity, and embracing individuality, this exceptional series is a great pick for parents and kids to enjoy together."

“A hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank…but the world may be a better place because I made a difference in the life of a child.”
