Non-Violent Toys and Children"s Action Videos
In the past 15 years or so, television programming for children has taken a dramatic turn to the mediocre.
There are still some quality shows on on the public broadcasting channels, but by and large the majority of cartoons and even the live action shows do not hold any redeeming features for children.
Much like the physically unhealthy, sugary, flashy, but colorful cereals on the market, those cheesy power morphing characters that wear the rainbow tights are encouraging the future leaders of America to reduce their I.

A prime example is that "little yellow pokey creature" with a lightning bolt for a tail.
Most parents and families should demand better for their children.
Contrary to popular belief, children's shows can be entertaining and educational or informative at the same time.
All learning is fun, but the trick is in the presentation of the information.
History has shown every parent that, unbeknownst to them.

Dinosaurs are generally considered to be exciting and very interesting, but lizards aren't that exciting.
A garden hoe moves a little dirt for preparing the ground.

That would be a little more eye catching.

It may not be readily apparent how educational a bulldozer show may be, but all of that hardware depends upon practical physical science and chemistry.
Take the videos one or two steps further by picking up a few toy bulldozers or cranes and get the children creating their own structures.
For inspiration, take a side strip to where some construction is being performed.
Explain to the children why some feats of the giant machines are able to be pulled off and apply that to every day life's occurrences.
Teaching on the sly can be one of the most gratifying experiences a parent can have.
