disclosure: we were sent the item mentioned for the purpose of review and giveaway
As regular readers of the blog will know, Daddy P comes from a long line of greengrocer’s. We’ve been actively involving my son in growing his own fruit and vegetables this year. So it will come as no real surprise that we’re rather fond of Mr Bloom’s Nursery on CBeebies in this house. On 14th October Abbey Home Media will be releasing Mr Bloom’s Nursery Giant Turnip DVD, featuring 4 episodes from the popular show.
My son, who’s nearly 4 now, loves Mr Bloom and finds all of his Veggie friends very entertaining. I like the fact that this series gets children interested in gardening in a fun, but educational way. There’s also lots of singing and dancing through the episodes as Mr Bloom and the Tiddlers (the children) work together in his Nursery.
The Mr Bloom’s Nursery DVD features 4 episodes and will keep your pre-schoolers entertained for just over 90 minutes. The episodes featured are:
Giant Turnip
Music
Worms
Underground
As well as learning about the Nursery, gardening and Veggies the Tiddlers learn about working as a team to get something done. My son will sit watching Mr Bloom’s Nursery and be totally enthralled by all the action. Doesn’t mean I am any more likely to persuade him to eat turnips in a winter stew, but I live in hope! We do love Sebastian the Aubergine, our favourite Veggie.
Our favourite episode is definitely Worms, Mr Bloom teaches us all about worms, their movement and how they help to make compost. He now wants to make his own compostarium!
We give Mr Bloom’s Nursery Giant Turnip DVD a big thumbs up.
If you have some little Tiddlers who love learning about Veggies in a fun and entertaining way then look no further. Abbey Home Media are offering 5 copies of Mr Bloom’s Nursery Giant Turnip DVD to my readers! Entry is via the rafflecopter below – good luck!
