Review and Giveaway: Sid the Science Kid: Weather Kid Sid DVD CLOSED

Wyatt loves anything to do with science. From books to television shows, he always seems more interested in the things that are science related. Which is probably why he loves watching Sid the Science Kid! I am always on the lookout for Sid’s newest releases, because we are never home when it airs. Luckily, a new Sid DVD is now available, Sid the Science Kid: Weather Kid Sid.

Here is the synopsis of the newest Sid the Science Kid DVD:  In the PBS KIDS® Emmy-nominated television show, Sid the Science Kid from The Jim Henson Company and KCET/Los Angeles, Sid is excited to play soccer with his Dad outside in the Sid’s Special Sunny Dad’s Day episode–but he’s not excited to lather up in sunscreen, because it takes way too long to put on!  At school, Sid and his friends discover that sunscreen is a great way to protect your skin from the sun. And they also learn about the amazing ways the sun helps the Earth.  Sid the Science Kid learns about various weather-related topics, in addition to learning about sunshine, in the Weather Kid Sid DVD release. In Sid’s Rainy Play Date, Sid is supposed to have a play date outside, but the forecast calls for rain! Sid isn’t too happy and wonders if the rain knew he wanted to play outside? At school, Sid and his friends discover that rain actually comes from rain clouds! They also learn that rain is really important because it helps living things grow.  In Sid’s Cool Holiday, Sid loves celebrating the winter holidays where he lives, because it’s always sunny and warm. But this year, Sid and his family are visiting relatives where it’s chilly and cold. Sid wonders why it can’t be warm everywhere? At school, Sid discovers that temperatures are different all over the world!  And in The Wind Did It Sid can’t figure out who messed up the pile of leaves he raked up in the backyard. At school, Sid and his friends discover that wind is strong enough to make sand dunes, waves, move sail boats, and even blow away a pile of leaves! 

As you can see this DVD teaches kids all about different weather scenarios and why all of them are important.  Sid the Science Kid is created for 3–6-year-old children.  Developed to inspire a lifelong curiosity and love for learning in young children, Sid the Science Kid appeals to preschoolers’ instinctive quest to figure out how things work, using humor and music as key teaching tools. Sid, the show’s energetic and inquisitive “star,” starts each episode with a new question and embarks on a fun-filled day of finding answers, inspiring preschoolers at home to think about how to find answers to their own questions.

The Jim Henson Company was nice enough to send us a copy of the Sid the Science Kid: Weather Kid Sid DVD to review.  Wyatt was very excited to see that it was a new Sid the Science Kid DVD.  We watched it in the car one day and both boys were entertained.  Wyatt sings the songs and was really interested it what happened to the construction paper after being left in the sun.  He always wants to try the experiments he sees at home.  I was happy to see that they addressed the issue of sunscreen with kids, so that they understand its importance.

Sid the Science Kid: Weather Kid Sid has a running time of 115 minutes and includes 4 episodes, plus bonus content.  This DVD is available for purchase now from NCircle Entertainment and retails for $12.99.
