Curious Buddies - Exploring at the Beach DVD

Surf's up as the Curious Buddies head to the beach for seaside exploration and discovery in this 30-minute Nick Jr. program combining live action footage, animated games, and kid-friendly music. From swimming and sandcastles to sailboats and surfboards, the sea is an engaging setting for toddlers to learn about the natural world around them. In one scene, kids collect seashells in sand buckets before an on-screen game invites viewers to sort ocean objects into similar groups. In another sequence, schools of tropical fish swim in tidepools, followed by footage of squealing children jumping in waves. An upbeat dance with the Curious Buddies teaches the meaning of "stop" and "go"; later, youngsters are challenged with simple games to develop reasoning skills of comparison, counting, and sequencing. As the sun sets over the sea, viewers will hear one last song about beach walks while watching parents and children stroll the shore and savor some tender memories.
