Episodes:
“Timmy Steals the Show” – While bossing everybody around during rehearsals for the nursery’s talent show, diva Yabba loses her voice! Yabba is crestfallen that she may not able to perform, but Timmy saves the day by performing for her.

“Timmy’s Picnic” – The class is off on a picnic! But during a game of soccer, the ball bursts on Apricot’s spikes. Apricot feels guilty that the little animals no longer have a ball to play with, but soon finds a good use for her prickly spikes – picking up the picnic litter!

“Timmy Brings a Smile” – Apricot has brought her favorite blanket to the nursery – of which she will not let go! But when she briefly puts it down, the other animals mistake it for a rag which they use to clean up paint and mud. Timmy tries to console Apricot with substitutes, until he discovers a pleasant surprise in Stripey’s sand pie!

“Timmy Can’t Dance” – Led by Harriet and Osbourne, the class is exploring various dance styles, from hula dancing to line dancing. But Timmy just cannot get into the groove! He soon discovers a passion for hip-hop music and wows his friends with his break-dancing moves.

“Timmy Says Sorry” – Timmy accidentally kicks a soccer ball through the preschool window! After a time out, he tries to be more careful, but ends up knocking down Otus’ sandcastle with a careless kick of the ball. After much soul searching, Timmy realizes it’s not enough to say sorry, you have to show you’re sorry, too.

Our Thoughts:
As I’ve stressed several times, Isabella is not a TV watcher. She normally watches 1-2 minutes at most before she is off doing something else. Recently that has changed. We popped this DVD in and she ran in front of the TV as soon as the Timmy Time song came on. She stayed there for at least 10 minutes before moving. It has been a week since she first saw it and it is still the only show she will watch.

Up until about a month or go, Evan wasn’t a huge fan of Timmy Time, but he has been asking to see it more and more. I don’t know what it is about this show, but it manages to capture both of my kids’ attention. The DVD has a run time of about 45 minutes and is a great addition to our collection!
