Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Ice Skating Spectacular! Episode Synopses:
Dora’s Ice Skating Spectacular
It’s up to Dora to help the Snow Princess and the Snowy Forest creatures get their ice skates back from the Ice Witch so everyone can enjoy ice skating again.

Catch that Shape Train!
Dora and Boots are making a Shape Train in Boots’ sticker book, but the train goes rolling down the track without Círculo the steering wheel.

Dora and Perrito to the Rescue
It’s a barking big rescue when Dora hops aboard her talking Scooter and sets out with her brave puppy Perrito to fish Boots out of the Big River before he goes over a waterfall.

Dora the Explorer, created by Chris Gifford, Valerie Walsh Valdes and Eric Weiner, is a play-along, animated adventure series starring Dora, a seven-year-old Latina heroine whose adventures take place in an imaginative, tropical world filled with jungles, beaches and rainforests. She explores her world just as preschoolers do every day, and the show is designed to actively engage its audience in an interactive quest using a variety of learning techniques.

In every episode, Dora and Boots invite the audience to participate in an exciting adventure, where each step of their journey consists of a problem or puzzle that Dora and the audience must think their way through in order to solve the next problem. Dora is proudly bilingual and uses her knowledge of English and Spanish to communicate with her friends, overcome obstacles and reach her goals. In each episode, Dora teaches Spanish words or phrases to the viewers and then asks them to use it to solve a problem and forge ahead. Ultimately, Dora and her best friend, Boots, triumph, and the story always ends with a “We Did It!” anthem.

Abby is absolutely in love with this fun new Dora DVD! She has been real big into ice skating lately and when she saw that Dora was ice skating she immediately started asking if we could go skating! Considering we hardly get much snow, ice skating will definitely have to be put on hold until they create the ice rink down at the River Market again. Plus, I’m not quite sure how talented we will be on ice skates! For now, she can happily enjoy watching Dora and Boots as well as the Snow Princess in these fun new episodes! This wintery DVD would definitely make a great stocking stuffer!
