Preschool Fun!! Team Umizoomi: Umigames!

My preschooler has an evening ritual: right before bed each night she watches an episode of Team Umizoomi on Nick Jr. I really don’t like many cartoons out there, but Team Umizoomi is on my list of mommy approved programming for her. I love that they teach her math skills such as counting, measuring, patterns, and more! My little mathematician even takes my measuring tape and tries to measure objects around the house. When I ask her where she learned to do that, she says “Umizoomi!” What more can a mama ask for? Hopefully she is better in math than I am!

Get in the Olympic spirit this summer with Milli, Geo, and Bot on Team Umizoomi: Umigames. It will be released on June 5, 2012, but you can preorder now through Amazon and get it for a discounted price. This price will only last until June 4, 2012, so hurry and take advantage now before it goes up to full price of $14.99!
Team Umizoomi features a tiny team of superheroes, Milli, Geo and Bot, who use their mighty math powers to help little kids solve big problems.  The series combines action-adventure missions with an interactive math curriculum designed to help kids develop self-confidence in their math abilities and appreciate the many ways in which math shapes their world.  The Umi Team is not complete without their Umi Friends (home viewers), who help the team along the way while practicing various math skills.  Set to a soundtrack of preschool-friendly pop songs, the series is designed to build upon preschoolers’ conceptual understanding of math as they are exposed to core mathematical concepts like numbers, counting, computations, measurement, patterns and shapes.
