When my daughter opened the package and saw that we had gotten a new DVD in the mail, she was pretty excited. When she saw Elmo on the cover, she was a little confused. After all, Elmo was GREEN!
Any pre-schooler (and, consequently, any mom) could easily pick Elmo out of a crowd! With his round white eyes, slightly larger orange nose, bright red fur, and unmistakable voice, he is all too easily recognizable. But Elmo takes a slightly different look in Being Green, as he and Abby Cadabby learn different ways that they can help make our planet a cleaner and more beautiful place to live!
My daughter has always been very eager to help me when it comes to recycling. She is always asking if something can be recycled before she throws it in the trash but I don’t think she ever really understood why we recycle. Being Green actually showed her how our recycled glass is reused. She was so impressed! And that impressed me!!!
This DVD is packed full of songs, ideas, and suggestions from kids around the world as to how we can reduce, reuse, and recycle, all while keeping in true Sesame Street fashion with those lovable monsters! Elmo and Abby even get some “green” help from Mr. Earth himself (played by adorable actor Paul Rudd). The DVD also includes 16-pages of downloadable activities and story sheets to continue the “green” fun at home! You can begin the “green” fun today by downloading and printing an Elmo coloring sheet right here!
Being Green is a great way to celebrate Earth Day (April 22nd) with your kids and to either introduce or help remind them why we need to take care of the Earth! My daughter gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs-up — once she realized that her beloved Elmo was indeed still red and it was just one of Abby’s goofy magic spells that had him looking so odd!
We would love to help you celebrate Earth Day with your family by giving away THREE copies of Being Green! To enter, simply leave a comment on this post by Friday, April 17th. THREE winners will be chosen on Saturday, April 18th (US addresses only please).
