Frosty Friends DVD (Giveaway)

It has snowed once here in Texas since my daughter was born. She was only 6 months old so I'm pretty sure she doesn't remember it at all, but she sure looked cute sitting next to that snowman her Daddy made. She's fascinated with snow though, and recently started pretending there's snow on the floor at home. Too cute. With winter fast approaching I thought it would be fun to introduce her to the wintery world of snow with the help of some of her best friends.....you might have heard of them.... Barney, Thomas, Bob, and Kipper.



Yes, our favorite preschool characters that we love watching on Sprout, entertained us with wintery fun in the brand new DVD release from HIT Entertainment............ Frosty Friends.

You'll find the following episodes all on this one DVD:

Thomas and Friends - "Percy's New Whistle"
Barney - "Gift of the Dinos"
Bob the Builder - "Snowman Scoop"
Pingu - "Pingu & the Hose"
Kipper - "The Big Freeze"

Bonus Episode:
Fifi and the Flowertots - "Doctor Webby"

Frosty Friends runs approximately 50 minutes and after it ended, someone I know wanted to watch it again. Anyone else have a toddler like that? She wouldn't pick a personal favorite out of all the episodes we watched. Me, I liked Bob the Builder's "Snowman Scoop".........someone was going around stealing all the carrots off the snowmen in town. Of course I liked them all for different reasons.....Percy learns an important lesson about safety and responsibility, Barney deals with "giving" vs. "receiving" at Christmastime, and well, I just think Fifi and the Flowertots are cute!!

Right now at amazon, you can find Frosty Friends for $13.49.
