Whether it be reading my childhood favourite books, playing with my brother's old school 80s Fisher-Price cash register or just colouring in a colouring book (colouring NEVER goes out of style), it's fun to share experiences with Hannah that I enjoyed as a child.
But my ultimate favourite thing to share with Hannah is easily the world of Sesame Street. And with the assistance of Netflix Canada, we can watch Sesame Street: Classics episodes together that I watched when I was her age.
She got excited when she saw Snuffy, so we decided to watch "The Ten Commandments of Health" which featured Snuffy getting sick and seeing a doctor for the first time. It's an episode from 1983, so much of it centres around the fact the adults (side note: Maria and Bob look SO young!) have never seen Mr. Snuffleupagus and still think he's just Big Bird's imaginary friend.
I enjoyed watching scenes I remembered from my childhood - a Sesame Street News Flash with Kermit the Frog waiting on the mouse from Hickory Dickory Dock, the cartoon Typewriter teaching us that U is the first letter in umbrella and the cartoon about a man who replaces the fallen "O" in his Store sign with a donut and a pizza unsuccessfully. Now I just need to find an episode with Grover waiting on Mr. Johnson (to the blue man's annoyance) and Teeny Little Super Guy.
Chris was a big fan of Curious George and I really liked Clifford the Big Red Dog so those are next on our list to watch.
Do you watch throwback kids shows with your child(ten)?
