What's the Story?
The Jim Henson Company's Word Party crew is back, and this time they're learning math. There is no shortage of song, dance, and preschool partying as the characters celebrate new skills they learn. In each episode, familiar friends Lulu, Kip, Bailey, Franny, and Tilly stumble upon a problem. They work together to brainstorm a solution, and with the help of Math Molly, they are able to use foundational math concepts to solve the problem. Along the way, they develop social skills and model positive behaviors like teamwork and manners.
Is It Any Good?
From babies to big kids (preschool big kids -- most likely no bigger than that), there's something for everyone in this celebration of numbers. Word Party Presents: Math! brings the party with song and dance, bright colors, and familiar characters that the little ones love from Word Party and Word Party Songs. It gives them content that they can relate to, like friendship and wardrobe that consists of only diapers. It engages and empowers by referring to the viewers as "big kids" and asking for their help with math concepts. And beyond teamwork, kindness, and creativity, it teaches them to celebrate success. For young viewers, each episode is certainly a party.
There are some shows that are great for the whole family, but this isn't one of them (and that's OK!). Kids older than 5 may enjoy the songs and dance but will likely be turned off by the more juvenile aspects. Parents who don't want to tune in can instead use this show as educational screentime for little ones in turn for a chance to take a break or to get something done.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
