Sago Mini Friends Earth Day Special: Treasure It
What's the Story?
In SAGO MINI FRIENDS EARTH DAY SPECIAL: TREASURE IT!, the whole gang gets creative in learning new ways to re-use their things. Soon their imaginations are running wild, taking them to outer space, on a medieval quest, and to the Wild West.
Is It Any Good?
This charming children's show features a group of animals who consistently model gratitude. The special episode also incorporates creativity and a sense of adventure to teach an important environmental lesson. Through play, the whole gang encourages viewers to use their imaginations to reframe worn-out belongings as potential new treasures. Along with the many make-believe adventures, the show is also brimming with original (and impressively catchy) songs. There's nothing scary in any of the animals' quests, only lots of sweet silliness, like a sad dragon who lost his lip balm. Preschoolers will delight in this new story, and likely will learn something about sustainable living along the way.
