What Parents Need to Know

About The Wiggles: Getting Strong

Parents need to know that this DVD is a wholesome, fun way for kids to spend an hour, and should leave viewers with lots of new ideas for activities and word games. While the relentlessly happy Wiggles and their cohorts might grate on the nerves of parents and older children, the preschoolers at which this DVD is aimed will love the goofy dances, cheerful songs, and easy-to-replicate games. The inclusion of live action shots of children with different ethnicities and abilities is welcome, but short. Special features include an American Sign Language option.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the many games that are demonstrated in the DVD, including musical cushions, jumping and running in place, and making origami whales. The Wiggles share some games to help promote language and literacy, like pattern recognition and reading practice; these are also good tools for families to have handy for quiet times.

    Great for the 2-8 set

    The Wiggles jump into some great learning with fun songs, actions and lessons in literacy and numeracy. My four year old watches it again and again. If you like the Wiggles who have a great respect for, and don't talk down to children, then you'll like this video. It is a bit different from their previous videos, as it is specifically aimed at teaching (but still loads of fun) and happens to be the first one with Sam Moran, the new yellow Wiggle, who is doing a fantastic job taking over for his mate Greg.
