Playhouse Disney Canada – Review & Giveaway – CLOSED

by MARIA on August 3, 2010

My kids first discovered the Playhouse Disney channel at their Yiayia’s (Grandma’s) house, a short while ago. Both my 3 year old and 6 year old fell in love with one show in particular – Special Agent Oso. They really enjoy it and the two of them enjoying some quiet time together, while I do as well, is never a bad thing. We have also seen some episodes of the other shows offered on the channel including Mickey Mouse Club, Strawberry Shortcake, and Handy Manny. What I like about this channel is that it is both age appropriate and a joy for my kids to watch – which is a win-win when they get t.v. time at their yiayia’s.

The Playhouse Disney Canada website is also a fun place for kids to discover – its a safe website where they can play games, watch videos, and do activities. You can see the daily schedule of what to watch and enter contests. There is also a section that parents can check out to subscribe, and also get some good tips about web safety.

Playhouse Disney is offering a great prize pack to one winner that includes: a Playhouse Disney DVD with five full episodes, stickers, crayons and a magnet to colour, and a magnetic pen. To enter, leave a comment below letting me know what your favorite show was when you were a kid. For an additional entry, join my new blog site using Google Friend Connect and leave a comment letting me know you did! This contest is open to CANADIANS only and ends August 18th. GOOD LUCK!

As a member of Mom Central Canada, I was chosen to be part of the Playhouse Disney Canada Blog Tour, and received a prize pack, and a gift card in return.  As always, my opinions are my own.

UPDATE – NOW CLOSED!

THE WINNER IS #7 – DAWN!! CONGRATS!!

I watched anything and everything, TV was a great escape tool for me. But I really enjoyed watching the Disney Movie of the week on Sundays after dinner.
