Holiday Gift for Young Children

Ring in the holidays with five great new DVDs from NCircle Entertainment! Whether you’re looking for a DVD of one of your child’s long-time favourite shows or something fun and new, NCircle has something for you!

The Fairies: Christmas Wishes in Fairyland

From the phenomenally popular Australian preschool series, The Fairies, comes the premiere of their first-ever holiday DVD for U.S. audiences. It’s 60 minutes of magical fun, with classic carols and new songs that will have little ones singing and dancing to the music all winter long!

The Wiggles: It’s Always Christmas with You!

The newest DVD from The Wiggles is a real treat for the entire family filled with 14 original new tunes and seasonal favourites. It’s the first holiday DVD in seven years from the gang from Down Under, featuring special celebrity guests (including ‘N Sync’s Joey Fatone) in performances filmed around the globe. In It’s Always Christmas with You! The Wiggles travel across three continents where they discover the diverse ways the holidays are celebrated by different cultures.

The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That: Told from the Cold

This brand new DVD contains four episodes from the popular PBS Kids series that premiered in fall 2010, The Cat in the Hat Knows A Lot About That starring the voice of actor-comedian Martin Short. The four episodes on this learning-and-fun-filled DVD are Snowman’s Land, Flight of the Penguin, A Long Winter’s Nap and Reindeer Games.

WordWorld: Happy Holidays WordFriends

A brand new DVD from the multiple Emmy Award-winning PBS Kids series, WordWorld, featuring three holiday-themed episodes – The Christmas Star, A Christmas Present for Dog and Duck’s Family Reunion – plus a bonus music video, Dancing Dog.

Chloe’s Closet: Chloe’s Winter Wonderland

NCircle’s debut DVD from this charming animated series will unlock preschoolers’ imaginations as they try on all the fantastic winter treasures in Chloe’s Closet. The DVD features four episodes from the PBS Kids Sprout series: On Frozen Pond, Best in Snow, Icing Escapades and Getting to Snow You.

This collection really does have something for everyone. My boys were so excited to see The Cat in the Hat Knows a Lot About That! in the collection and Benjamin had a great time singing and dancing along with The Wiggles.

WordWorld was another old favourite in our household, but we had never seen The Fairies or Chloe’s Closet before. I loved the concept of Chloe’s Closet and my boys really enjoyed the episodes as well. I saved The Fairies DVD for one of the days when Zackary’s friend Jossy was over and she immediately fell in love with it! Almost any girl will adore the magical world of Harmony and Rhapsody, the purple and pink fairies that live in Fairyland.

To help spread a little holiday cheer this year, NCircle Entertainment is offering one lucky Mommy Kat and Kids reader a prize pack containing every one of the five holiday movies featured in this review! NCircle’s holiday DVDs are a fun mix of classic shows and new favourites and would make a great stocking stuffer for preschool children. Check them out for yourself and enjoy a Christmas filled with unique holiday entertainment!
