Who is Driver Dan?

I watched Driver Dan’s Story Train, on CBeebies the other day when my grandson was asleep.

It was created and designed by Rebecca Elgar; the main character Driver Dan is voiced by Peter Serafinowicz. The theme tune is catchy, the animation is great.

                                                       
This children’s series is about a friendly lion called Driver Dan who takes his friends on board his train and takes them on a journey to story corner to read a story.

                                            

Twinkle the bird assists Driver Dan at story corner. Twinkle opens the giant book where cushions tumble out, made ready for the friends to sit and listen to a story; the story is then read by Driver Dan.

It’s definitely worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s educational and encourages children to read.

My final thought: if I was a child I would definitely like to ride on Driver Dan’s story train it looks like great fun.

Is Mr Maker A Creative Genius?

I watch Mr Maker with my grandson every time it comes on television; it has a very catchy theme tune and is fun to watch.  
                                                  

Mr Maker is a great arts and crafts programme for children presented by Phil Gallagher as Mr Maker.

Mr Maker creates lots of pictures and models out of all types of things, boxes, yoghurt pots, grass and leaves, you get the picture!

It reminds me of Blue Peter in the 70’s, when I used to made paper mache models.

Mr Maker travels around in his Maker Mobile creating priceless works of art, assisted by children.

My favourite characters are the Shapes; the music is brilliant my grandson loves dancing to it including me, “I am a Shape,” I wish it was on longer I enjoy watching the children and adults dancing with the Shapes.

It’s definitely worth watching, it’s a brilliant programme, as a creative person myself I think it’s wonderful, it encourages imagination and creativity.

In my opinion it is very inspiring, creative, imaginative, informative and educational.

It should be shown in schools.

My final thought: is it safe driving the Maker Mobile, it looks like it’s stuck together with glue!

Can I Cook With You?

I watched I Can Cook with you, the other morning when my grandson was playing.

The children’s programme “I Can Cook with you,” is presented by Katy Ashworth on CBeebies. 

It was created by Sally Brown and Kate Morris.

                                                       
The programme starts with a catchy theme tune as Katy travels to a location singing the travelling song.

This is a wonderful children’s cookery programme that show children how to cook simple recipes.

Katy sings songs throughout the show encouraging washing hands at the beginning and cleaning up at the end of the day.

Katy is a great character she’s funny, creative and has fun with the children, making the cooking experience a good one.

It’s definitely worth watching the children will love it, I’ve even picked up some cooking tips, so brilliant for adults too! 

In my opinion it is very informative and educational it should be shown in schools.

My final thought: it’s a great children’s cookery programme that encourages children to cook simple recipes and to try foods they have never seen or tasted before.

Why not try out one of the recipes, and tell me what you think?

Is Andy Scared Of Dinosaurs?

I watched Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure with my grandson the other afternoon he was not amused and went off to play with his toys.

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a children's programme shown on CBeebies. It features Andy Day as “Andy,” and Kate Copeland as “Hatty.” Patrick Makin is the writer. It's produced in a CGI digital format.                                                       

Andy’s Dinosaur Adventure is a modern day telling of Dinosaurs in their own territory during Prehistoric times.

The stories start off with Andy accidentally breaking or losing a piece from Hatty’s dinosaur display when she leaves him in charge.

With the aid of a time travelling grandfather clock he goes back in time to find a replacement within that Dinosaur’s time frame; he also finds out how they lived without being eaten.

However, Andy only has a short time to find a replacement and display it back at the museum before the visitors arrive. Will he do it in time?

Andy is against the clock you never know if he will reach the museum in time, thrilling and exciting to watch.

My favourite character is Andy he’s like a big kid; he’s funny and great to watch, a great entertainer.

It’s worth watching, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it’s a brilliant programme for children, every episode shows a different prehistoric creature in its own territory; it’s informative, educational and very interesting to watch even for adults.

My final thought: Andy is so clumsy I wonder how he ever got a job at a museum?

Why Are The Cloudbabies So Adorable?

I watched Cloudbabies on CBeebies with my grandson; he smiles when he watches the programme and touches the television screen to touch the characters.

Cloudbabies is an animated children’s programme that is shown on CBeebies.

It was created by Bridget Appleby.

                                                  

The stories are wonderfully told the character voices adorable.

The theme tune is beautiful and lovely to sing along to, it’s like a lullaby; the animation crisp and perfect.

The stories are about the Cloudbabies Baba Pink, Baba Blue, Baba Yellow and Baba Green who live on a cloud with Bobo White.

They ride skyhorsies to see their friends the Sun, Moon, Rainbow, Fuffa Cloud and Little Star; they work really hard keeping everything clean and bright in the sky.

I love all the characters they are so cute, innocent and adorable and I want to give them big hugs.

The mischievous Bobo White made me laugh in the episode, "The Right Colour To Be," when he paints the sun a new colour. 

This is a wonderful children’s programme, the children will love it. 

In my opinion it is the most beautiful children’s programme for young children that I have watched on CBeebies.

My final thought: it's perfect for very young children.
