Woolly and Tig:First Day DVD - Review and Give Away

Both of my children enjoy watching Woolly and Tig, the CBeebies show about the adventures of young Tig and her toy spider Woolly. Each episode gives us an insight into an everyday scenario that I think many parents and their youngsters face and recognsie, whether it be a trip to the dentist, the first day at nursery, learning to share toys, fussy eating and so on, which Tig and her Mummy and Daddy encounter. This is what I think makes the programme so appealing to children and parents alike because we can all relate to the events which we see unfold, because they show typical child behaviour that has or will happen to our own kids at some point in their young lives.

When Tig is naughty, or doesn't do as she is told, finds it hard to make a decision, refuses to do or eat something or is scared, it is her toy spider Woolly who magically comes to life in Tig's eyes and is the voice of reason who makes her see sense and calms her down/reassures her/tells her to say sorry etc.... It is Woolly who saves the day really and prevents or stops a tantrum, reminds Tig to do what she is told etc... He makes her realise that what she has been doing is not acceptable and encourages young Tig to think about what she has done and the consequences, which results in her behaving herself and recognising that she was wrong.

I like the lessons this TV programme teaches children about what is acceptable or unacceptable behaviour, showing examples of right from wrong and revealing that children cannot get their own way. Also that places like dentist surgeries and nursery schools are not scary places. I have often used the show's storyline as an example when I am explaining something to Burton if he has done a similar thing to Tig. It also shows that spiders are friendly and nothing to be afraid of - after all Woolly is only a toy spider (repeats this mantra to myself as a spider hater).

Abbey Home Media have just released a Woolly and Tig DVD which features 15 episodes and runs for 75 minutes which is good value for entertainment I say!

The DVD also comes with a reward chart and stickers 

which is a perfect freebie for this particular DVD seeing as though the majority of the Woolly and Tig ethos is her behaviour and learning important life lessons. Burton will be using this chart that's for sure!!
