The catchy educational songs of Big Block SingSong come to DVD Oct. 28th! #Giveaway #Review

I was home on mat leave with Hannah the first time we saw Big Block SingSong. It was definitely unlike anything I had seen before. Big colourful block characters sing catchy educational songs in a variety of musical genres. It caught Hannah's young eye because of the screenfuls of colour. I liked it because the songs have a great beat and quirky lyrics.

Now that she's a preschooler, Hannah likes watching Big Block SingSong for the music - and the quick story lines. She likes to guess the animal if there is one in that episode, and she often dances along while playing her tambourine. I still like it because it reminds me of Flight of the Concords for kids.

The fun and engaging animated musical series, which currently airs across the globe on TV (Kids' CBC in Canada), will be available on DVD for the first time ever in the U.S. and Canada on October 28th.

The DVD is jam packed with musical fun that you and your kids will enjoy over and over again. With 24 episodes and over 48 minutes of content, these big block characters will not only steal your heart but have you singing their songs long after you’re done watching the DVD. (And hoping for a CD for the car...which according to their website, they are working on!)

The 24 episodes on the DVD include: Monkey / Sleep / Hair / Happy / Teeth / Noses / Sad / Octopus / Bat / Big Foot / Mad / Eat / Frog / Moose / Good / Owl / Fruit / Brave / Ears / Colourful Day / Farmer / Spider / Robot / Different. You can watch them continuously, or pick a specific episode from the main menu (which is great, because Hannah can literally watch the same episode five times in a row so it makes it easy to access). The DVD also includes French versions of each of the episodes.

Hannah really likes the "Fruit" episode. A yellow block character with funky orange hair (with "cool glasses" according to Hannah) sings about his favourite 15 kinds of fruit. She often discusses the food she likes, so this is right up her alley.

My favourite Big Block SingSong episode is "Brave" which reminded me of a Queen song. When a green block character is faced with salad, his friends tell him he's brave when he tries it (take that Bart Simpson, I guess you CAN win friends with salad).

Big Block SingSong will also be On Demand starting Oct. 31, 2014.
