Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom DVD Review and Giveaway

If your kids like dancing and singing along with Dora and friends, they will be pleased with the new Dora the Explorer: "Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom" DVD.

Enter the magical, musical world of the Crystal Kingdom in the all-new Nickelodeon feature-length adventure Dora the Explorer: Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom. Along with this never-before-seen title episode, the DVD includes two additional adventures from the top-rated preschool series.

In Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom, Dora continues her magical storybook adventure from last fall (“Dora Saves the Snow Princess”), when the magic crystal that the Snow Princess gave her brings to life another character in her storybook – Allie of the Crystal Kingdom. A greedy king has stolen the crystals that give Allie’s kingdom color. Dora and Boots must help Allie locate the crystals and turn the pale gray kingdom back into a colorful wonderland before it’s too late.

One big thing that I like about Dora episodes is that they're very interactive for children. My kids just don't sit and watch in front of the TV the whole time they watch Dora. Dora has this way of making them get up and move. My four year old Gabriel even answers Dora's questions- both in English and in Spanish. (Too cute!) It's a great way for my kids to learn simple Spanish words here and there. The fun crystal color matching game and two additional adventures – “First Day of School” and “Boots’ Banana Wish” included in the DVD are all great bonuses as well.

Dora the Explorer: "Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom" was an instant hit in our family!
