Thomas & Friends has always been a favorite in our household. The episodes are well thought out, written and very entertaining. I love the incorporated life lessons in Thomas & Friend episodes and this special 3 DVD set lives up to this aspect. Because of the quality of the Thomas & Friends shows as well as the built in life lessons, Thomas & Friends always receive a green light of approval as shows allowed to be watched in our household. However, I do agree with the age ranking for Thomas & Friends of ages 3 to 5. My youngest who is 5 and turning 6 soon does still watch Thomas & Friends on occasion, but it is becoming less frequently now.
I find that Thomas & Friend DVD’s affordable which is good for having them on hand for your little Thomas & Friend fan.
I am happy to announce a giveaway of one Thomas & Friends Full Steam Ahead 2 DVD Set. This giveaway is open to residents of the US who are over the age of 18 and where permitted by local laws to enter and win giveaways. Please ensure to read all the giveaway terms and conditions found at the bottom of the Raffelcopter Entry Form.
