What's the Story?
Who better to blow bubbles into shapes that babies and toddlers can recognize than BLOOP & LOOP, a colorful pair of pals whose heads are topped with bubble wands? As the friends' bubbles float into the familiar forms of caterpillars, pumpkins, penguins, and more, young viewers will learn the art of imagination with a side of cooperation.
Is It Any Good?
Parents won't be wowed by Bloop & Loop (and might even find their babble borderline maddening). But that's OK, because this effectively entrancing series was created for a much younger audience. Babies and toddlers will be the most interested by far, thanks to the eye-catching colors, the soothing music, and the bubble-guessing game that never wavers from its formulaic pattern, not to mention Bloop & Loop's unique way of communicating outside the constructs of conventional language.
So what are kids learning from Bloop & Loop? Well, the lessons are subtle for sure, but they include abstract thinking and object recognition -- and if a parent is actively watching with them, learning the names of the pictures they're seeing on-screen. The main characters also do a fair share of positive role-modeling, demonstrating cooperation and imagination with every squeal and giggle.
