UNICEF, the United Nations Children’s Fund,promotes and coordinates this special day, which also works towards improvingchildren’s welfare.

As a partner, Zinkia Entertainment’s Pocoyo will help educate millions of children and adults about the protection of children worldwide.  As part of the campaign, Pocoyo will be featured in eight specially produced Public Service Announcement’s to promote the basic rights for and protection of children all over the world with themes including family,identity, equality, play, participation, health and education.

The PSA’s can be found online at http://www.pocoyo.com/unicef_en.html

Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD Giveaway with Langers Juice

New Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD, releasing August 16 at retailers. Summertime challenges even the most creative parents with how to keep the kids entertained, active and limit all day snacking. Pocoyo and Langers Juice may have the ideal solution!  Beginning August 1 through August 31, parents can receive an all-new Pocoyo DVD – Dance Pocoyo Dance!–with the purchase of 10 Langers Juices (plus $1.99 shipping and handling), while supplies last. 

 

The Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD, based on the Pocoyo animated television series, will encourage kids to get up and dance, jump and have fun for hours. The music provides high-energy participation, and Pocoyo and his animal friends, Elly the elephant, Pato the duck, and Loula the dog, add to the excitement. It’s a good workout for Mom and Dad, too. Kids can quench their thirst with Langers Juice after dancing with Pocoyo while watching Dance Pocoyo Dance!.

The multi-award-winning animated television series Pocoyo is now featured in a new half-hour time slot during the weekends on Nick Jr., on Saturday’s and Sunday’s at 1.00pm ET/10am PT, complementing the current weekday broadcasts at 4:25 pm Eastern/1:25 pm Pacific. Pocoyo also airs on Univision’s Planeta U on Saturday mornings at 8:30 am; and on select PBS stations nationwide(check local listings). Additionally, Pocoyo toys are available at Toys”R”Us and amazon.com

Langers Juice, in kid-friendly juice flavors like orange, red grape, white grape, grape with vitamin C, and pineapple, are available nationwide at retailers including WalMart, Albertsons, Econo Foods, Food 4 Less, Lucky, Market Basket, Miners, Ralphs, Smart & Final, Sprouts, and Staters, among others.

And as the temperatures soar, Moms and their kids can use Langers Juice to create their own healthy and refreshing fruit juice popsicles! Simply pour 4 oz of juice into a paper cup and pop it into the freezer. When the juice freezes, kids can eat the frozen treat with a spoon, or simply lick the cold concoction, peeling back the paper cup as needed.

Parents know that sodas, sports drinks, sweetened juice or fruit-juice cocktails have too much sugar, too many calories or too many additives. That’s why Langers 100% fruit juice is the smart choice for parents and their kids.

Mayo Clinic Nutritionist Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., says that while whole fruit is the best choice, certain types of fruit juice can be a healthy part of your child's diet. Recent studies have confirmed that drinking moderate amounts of 100 percent fruit juice doesn't affect a child's weight. What 100% fruit juice does offer is more vitamins and nutrients and fewer additives than other drink choices.

The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association recommends that children between 6 months and 6 years can safely consume 4 to 6 ounces (118 to 177 milliliters) of 100% fruit juice a day; while those 7 years and older can consume between 8 to 12 ounces (237 to 355 milliliters) per day. About 4 ounces (118 milliliters) of 100% fruit juice equals one serving of fruit.

 

One Reader will win the Dance Pocoyo Dance! DVD.  Also, check out FREE Pocoyo content available on the Pocoyo YouTube channel and plenty of fun and games in Pocoyo World www.pocoyoworld.com.

New Dinosaur Train Premiere

All-new episode of Dinosaur Train premiering Monday, January 17 on PBS KIDS® “The Good Mom;” “Diamond Anniversary,” Mrs. Pteranodon meets fellow mom Millie Maiasaura, who is a little too over-protective of her kids. The two moms share some time comparing mothering methods in a play date at the Big Pond. And, Mr. and Mrs. Pteranodon decide to surprise each other with gifts on their anniversary.

Regarding the first part of this all-new episode, “The Good Mom,” you might be interested to know that Maiasaura, meaning "good mother lizard", was a large duck-billed dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous. There is evidence that Maisaura lived in large nesting colonies and that the parents diligently cared for their young!

My son is a Dinosaur Train fan and I'm a fan of all the facts he is learning from the show:)
