What are they, what are they all about and why are kids and adults alike all so crazy about them? It is apparent that the number of preschoolers watching these shows and playing with their Dora/ Diego toys is growing rapidly. Dora the explorer and her cousin Diego both of Nick Jr. are designed to be eye catching with bright colours and catchy theme songs. The kids are addicted, each ½ hour show just isn’t long enough. If it wasn’t for the structure of these programs which incorporates teaching vocabulary, language skills as well as music, and other lessons (math, science, observation and physical coordination) into their adventures then parents wouldn’t be so keen to rush out and buy the DVD’s available for both shows or the educational toys to match.
