The Zula Patrol: Explore Space and Explore Weather
The Zula Patrol introduces young children ages 4-8 to the wonders of science in ways they can appreciate - cartoon characters, wild adventures, and lots of laughs. Ethan has been learning about weather in school and doing weather science experiments so this DVD was a chance to bring a bit of that theme home for him too. The first thing he found was the pack of planet window clings inside the front cover of the DVD. He snagged them immediately. I thought I’d find them plastered all over his bedroom window, but instead he took the to school and they’re on display in the classroom windows. He is in love with this show, he’s watched it twice now and he’s taking it to school with him this week for his classroom to watch too.
You can grab Zula Patrol DVD’s and goodies at Borders Books. We watched Explore Weather, but there is also another one called Explore Space, which I think I’ll probably pick up for Ethan and his class as well. I really want to thank Parent Blogger Network for introducing me to Zula Patrol, I would have overlooked these great DVD’s otherwise. It’s got the Ethan Seal of Approval for sure!
