Most kids in public schools return to reality tomorrow. Can the winter break really be over already? To celebrate the last day of winter freedom, our family spent the evening playing board games, and we watched one DVD together -- the last holiday movie of the season. Tomorrow, I will put all of the holiday movies back on the shelf to sit until next year.
Although, there is one DVD that might be pulled from its resting place by tiny little two-year-old hands despite my efforts to save the holiday movies for the holidays. My two-year-old has been obsessed with Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas since Halloween. The movie works for Christmas too, so we've humored her in watching it about once a week. You might think a child would be scared by all of the ghosts and ghouls in the movie, but not our little girl, she thinks Jack the Pumpkin King is the best thing since she discovered chocolate. Hopefully, she will be dissuaded by the numerous learning to read DVDs I have lined up for her as part of our little preschool activities over the next few months and bid Jack a fond farewell until next Halloween.
If you are looking for good DVDs or TV shows to help your young children get back in the swing of things, here are some ideas:
