 Polkaroo's
Awesome ABC's
Young children discover the awesome alphabet with the
much-loved Polkaroo and Marigold of Polka Dot Shorts. Featuring
3-D animation with live action segments, programs are designed
to support preschoolers learning about language and spelling.
Twenty-six individual sequences feature Polkaroo and Marigold
bringing letters to life: for example, Polkaroo rides up a giant
letter E in an elevator, Marigold skates on an icy letter I, and
the pair blast into space in an R shaped rocket ship and more!
The final program reviews the alphabet to the new theme song.
The final program is an "A to Z" special.
Resource Materials: A micro-web site with educational games and
activities is available.
