Wheels on the Bus

60Watch it awake.

Kind, clear, and aimed at a toddler. A good twenty minutes. Not a moral education, and it should not pretend to be.

The review

For a two-year-old, this is a competent teacher with a kind face. The songs are public and old. The pace respects a child who cannot yet rush. That is more than most of the children's shelf manages.

It will not raise the child. You will. When the song is over, sing it once yourself, badly, in the room. If the only voice who knows the words is the one on the screen, the film has replaced you, and that is the failure.

Journal

Keep Wheels on the Bus in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 60. Yours can differ.

The glance

Piety and Courage are the thin ones.

Can conscience actually stop someone, or is reverence only in the shot so it can be mocked?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

The eight

7
Industry
She is doing a job: teaching a small person a song, a word, a gesture.
8
Household
The adult is invited onto the floor. That is the household part, and it is the best part.
3
Piety
No creed, and none is claimed. Kindness is not yet conscience.
4
Courage
Nothing is risked. Nothing has to be.
5
Republic
A child learns to answer a person, which is the start of a neighbor.
8
Temperance
The pace is slow on purpose. It does not whip the child into the next video.
7
Truth
The songs are the old ones. She is not lying about what a bus is.
6
Stewardship
A song can be kept. The screen should not be the one who keeps singing it.

Backyard Squirrel Maze

59Watch it awake.

Real engineering, spent on a joke the children will love. Fine for a Saturday. Not a life.

The review

The squirrels are the advertisement. The thing worth keeping is a man who builds a machine, watches it fail, and changes the machine instead of the story. Children understand that faster than a speech about grit.

Do not let it become the whole evening. It is a good half hour and a thin meal. When it ends, hand somebody cardboard and a problem. Watching an engineer is not the same as becoming one.
