Team Umizoomi DVD: Giveaway and Review CLOSED

Have you been looking for a way for your kids to brush up on their math skills this summer? Then check out the new Team Umizoomi DVD from Nickelodeon.  This team will lead you on adventures to learn about numbers, patterns, and important early math concepts. 

 

Here is a list of the episodes and their synopsis, which are included on the Team Umizoomi DVD.

The Rolling Toy Parade- Nick has been picked to lead the Rolling Toy Parade going through Umi City.  As he proudly makes his way to the Park, his lion toy tumbles down a hill, breaks apart and is foraged by park animals!  Team Umizoomi must decode Mr. Squirrel’s doorbell pattern, search his tree trunk burrow for the missing wheels, embark on a high altitude chase with Mama Hawk and teach the Baby Hawks how to braid a pull string.

The Legend of the Blue Mermaid- Team Umizoomi discovers the statue of the Blue Mermaid (Jordin Sparks) while visiting the beach.  According to legend, the mermaid with her sparkly blue scales once lived happily in the water by Umi City.  But one day, a scheming squid named Squiddy captured the mermaid so that he could keep her sparkling light all to himself.  The team must count, recognize shapes and identify patterns in order to rescue the Blue Mermaid from Squiddy’s secret sand castle.  It won’t be an easy task as Squiddy will stop at nothing to keep Team Umizoomi from using their mighty math powers to save the day.

Kite Festival- Today is the Umi City Kite Festival and Jeannie is ready to fly her beautiful dragon kite.  Out of nowhere, a strong gust of wind blows the kite out of her hands and scatters its colorful shaped pieces throughout Umi City. Luckily, Geo is a shape expert and the Team is positive they can find all the missing pieces.  They rappel down city billboards, build a hot air balloon and search the tops of skyscrapers.  Can they get Jeannie’s Dragon kite back together in time for the Festival?

Wild West Toy Train Show- Geo can’t wait to meet his friend Ethan at The Smokey Mountain Toy Train Show and see all the cool trains! As he gets ready to leave the Secret Headquarters, the Umi-Alarm sounds.  Ethan’s golden ticket for the show has blown into the exhibit and landed somewhere at the top of Smokey Mountain!  Team Umizoomi springs into action and hops a ride on the toy trains to the top of Smokey Mountain.  Along the way, they use their math powers to get through Crystal Cave, cross Rumble Bridge, pan for gold and build a new engine with Geo’s super shapes.

Nickelodeon was nice enough to send my boys a copy of Team Umizoomi on DVD to review.  This is one of the few programs that entertains both of my boys and educates them at the same time.  Wyatt really enjoys when they do patterns and Blake loves the music.  Wyatt loved the Kite Festival episode while Blake was all about the Wild West Toy Train Show episode.  This show is geared toward pre-schoolers, but is a great repetative tool for older kids.

Team Umizoomi has a running time of approximately 95 minutes and includes the Special Features: The Blue Mermaid Shapes Under the Sea Game and Team Umizoomi Videos- Meet Geo, Meet Milli, and Meet Bot. This DVD also includes a one-year free subscription to Parents Magazine!  Team Umizoomi is available for purchase now from amazon.com and retails for $16.99.

    My 3.5 year old doesn’t exactly need to build his math skills, but he really enjoys doing so!

    My four year old son has a special condition, apraxia of speech. He actually interacts with the show and tries to talk with them and he tries the math. This would make his day.
