Being A Friend DVD (featuring Bob the Builder, Thomas, Barney & Fireman Sam) GIVEAWAY-CLOSED

by A Frugal Friend on June 11, 2010

***GIVEAWAY NOW CLOSED***
Congratulations to:
#94 Jessica

Where would we be without our friends? Having friends is so important, but first we must learn how to be a friend ourselves. That’s something even my 2 year old is learning how to do…… and what better way to reinforce some of the things I’m trying to teach her, than with a new DVD focused on exactly that, Being a Friend.

This new DVD just released in May is focused on the responsibilities and rewards of being a friend. It’s filled with so many of our favorite friends to help with the lessons…..Thomas the Train, Barney, Bob the Builder, and Fireman Sam. We love those guys! Lessons include being kind, making new friends feel welcome, and more. This DVD isn’t just fun, it’s practical….and as a parent, I appreciate that. These are life-long lessons that I’m determined to teach my daughter (and I don’t mind if Fireman Sam helps).

The SCOOP:

Running Time: 59 minutes
Special Features:

  •  New CGI Angelina Ballerina (Angelina’s Dance Partner)

Episodes Include:

  • Thomas & Friends: Emily and the Garbage
  • Bob the Builder: Lofty’s Banana Tree

  • Fireman Sam: Norm’s Invisible Friend

BUY IT: On Sale at amazon
