Dos y Dos, review and giveaway

Dos y Dos, have you heard of them?

The name translates to “Two and Two”. They are a sweet “wiggles” type group, but in Spanish. You have cast members Sofia, Fernando, Adriana, and Andres who must solve a “Riddle of the day” by finding puzzle pieces, which when placed in the “Puzzle Board”, will reveal the topic or theme of the show for that day.

It’s all in Spanish, with very few words in English.  It’s meant to stimulate a preschool age child to learn and speak Spanish through a live cast who sing, dance, entertain and educate in Español.

My thoughts: It a really nice show… if your child is somewhat bilingual. My kids, unfortunately are not.

Yes, yes… I know, bad mommy!

But, if your kids are bilingual, and know basic Spanish, then this show is truly for your nenes.  They repeat the words a lot, and explain what the word is.  With the words that are in English, they translate (through repetition) the word in Spanish.  My kids (the little ones) sat for a while, then got up and walked away.  Again, not because it was a boring show, but because they didn’t understand. I watched the whole thing, and think that it is a great show to watch.

Dos y Dos is designed to build skills deemed critical for early childhood development. As the cast solves the “Riddle of the day”, they teach fundamental core values like sharing, helping, and the importance of teamwork. Every show has three music videos performed by the cast in Spanish, with one of those music videos performed also in English, making a total of four educational music videos per half-hour episode.- Dos y Dos website
