I have a wonderful two and a third year old son (Hi Coby!!!) and once in a while he gets to watch some TV. Mostly we restrict him to purely educational shows (animals, nature, numbers etc) which mostly means CBeebies. One show is so cool I just had to blog about it.
Tommy Zoom is the story of Tommy and his dog Daniel and their adventures battling the naughty Polluto and his cat Smogg. The show uses live action and animation to help illustrate the small choices we all make each day and the impact they have and ultimately the small choices we can choose to do that make a difference to solve those problems.
Tommy Zoom does a great job of turning complex issues into fun educational story lines to get those little ones aware from an early age.

It's great to see things like this becoming the 'norm' on mainstream TV.
We have chosen not to have a TV, but this is definitely something Little Miss Green would be allowed to watch.
It's amazing to watch the little one's awareness. My daughter came up to me yesterday and asked what some packaging was made from so that she could figure out whether or not it could be recycled.
It wouldn't have crossed my own mind until a few years ago.........
it was also her decision, at the tender age of 6 for us not to have a Christmas tree. We were following a lorry full of cut down trees and she couldn't bear the thought of us being responsible for that.
What a girl :)
Enjoy your programme Coby ;)
