With episodes aimed at toddlers, early elementary school children, and even curious adults, Brain Candy TV introduces viewers to many fun topics: an introduction to colors and shapes, the alphabet and numbers, simple math, the meaning of prepositions, the solar system, and the universe. Dozens of colorful episodes, ranging from 2 to 30 minutes in length, are designed to engage children’s interest and arouse their curiosity.
- Watch this show with your child and talk about what you see.
- Provide your child with paper and crayons and encourage them to draw some of the objects they have seen – whether letters, numbers, or different vehicles.
- As your child begins to recognize the letters of the alphabet, point to letters within the words (not the first letter), and ask them to identify them.
- Illustrations in magazines and children’s picture books can provide an excellent array of objects and activities to point to and discuss with your child.
