truebluexf Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Mine were 8 and 6 this year. ;) I'd say my older got more out of them, but the little one picked up bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverland Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My son enjoyed the shows in elementary school. My daughter just watched them this past year, at age 11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My kids have watched them through at least twice, they both enjoy them. When we started watching them, my son was five. They both got a lot out of them. My son will have a second dinner or lunch if anyone is eating, he now likes to say, "I am like 'onri,' I am always hungry." (Henry is the youngest boy in the series, he is French.) My daughter might not have been ready for them at 5 or 6, there is a bit of violence. She was fine at 8. She was very sensitive when she was younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritaserum Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) All of my kids (3-11) enjoy the program. The older three (6, 9, and 11) understand what's going on. :) Edited June 29, 2011 by Veritaserum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollie010 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My 6 and 7 yo enjoy them. They have really learned a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessReplanted Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My kids watched it at 8, 4, & 3. They all enjoyed them. The 4 year old loved the theme song. The 8 year old was the only one that gleaned the history from it. We'll definitely watch it again at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyofsixreboot Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My then 9 yo loved them. The 7 yo thought they were boring and didn't want to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My 10 1/2 y/o and 5 1/2 y/o both really love that show, although of course my older child understands it better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RachelFlores Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My 5 year old likes watching them, the 3 year old doesn't. I don't think she is picking up on a ton of the history, but it does start some discussions about slavery and George Washington and the British. We will re-watch them when we cover US history in a couple of years and it doesn't hurt anything to have her watch them right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossFitMama Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My 4 year old likes them. Don't know how much she really gets from them, but she asks for them on occassion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 My 11yo old likes them. She just pulled out our copy recently to rewatch them. :001_smile: Just for the record, her 40-something, history-buff, animation-loving father also likes them. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I recently bought a used set. My dd is 7. She likes them....but I don't know that she's getting a whole lot out of it yet (I think a lot is way over her head....and I don't always have the time to sit with her and explain everything).

robsiew Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 We watched them this past spring with a 10, 8, 7 and 5 y/o. Everyone loved them! Of course, I'm sure my 10 y/o got different things out of it than my 5 y/o, but they all begged to watch them! My 7 y/o even picked George Washington as his "hero" when asked by someone who his "hero" is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatMomof3 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 My dd was 7 and my ds was 4 - both loved them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Success! DH recorded some from PBS and the girls love them. The only problem is that there's only one girl character so both girls are fighting over who gets to "be" her. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
