The Melon Patch
Parent and Kid Reviews
What's the Story?
In THE MELON PATCH, Ms. Appleberry is a kind teacher who makes learning a fun place by combining lessons with play. She's joined by Mr. Acorn, an explorer who loves nature; Ms Twist, who can really dance, and Mr Doodad, who turns everyday objects into art. Together, they introduce viewers to cognitive skills, musical instruments, Spanish vocabulary, and much, much more!
Is It Any Good?
Crafted with the help of educational experts, this series prioritizes viewers' development and parental approval—and delivers on both fronts. The Melon Patch takes a cue from Ms. Rachel but dresses it in CoComelon's characters and world, making it an appealing choice for fans of the original series. The show's gradual lessons, split into several short segments, ensure ease and enough variety to keep young kids engaged.
