LNC Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) I bought the set with a gift card for Christmas. We are studying American history Explorers-1800 this year. I love this series! We are going through them slowly. Studying/reading about a topic then watching the episode. It's a really thorough study of the Revolution for young kids I think. We are really getting a lot out of it. I'm enjoying it much more than the PBS & History Channel documentaries from Netflix!

Dawn E Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I love the series, too, as does dd. We've watched all the ones available online at Kewl Cartoons. I am planning to buy the dvd set asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen500 Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We loved them too. Just finished the last episode. The kids had seen a few episodes on tv, but it was much better watching the whole series in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beach Mom Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 We have become fans of this series as well. I just picked the last 2 DVDs up from the library this afternoon, we have been anxiously waiting to be the top of the hold queue. They have dovetailed nicely with our history studies and my kids have watched them over and over. They pick up so many details that we have studied and point them out in the cartoon. How nice to have a cartoon I feel I can say yes to whenever they want to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kim in TN Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Thanks for reminding me about these! We used to watch them on tv. I just found them on Tower.com for $33.99 with free shipping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We got the set for Christmas too, and we are loving them also! We are doing Ancients this year but I want the kids to get some exposure to US history. We are going to start TQ soon for some US history readings also.

sleepy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 what time period of history do they cover? Revolutionary War era: from the Boston Tea Party in 1773 to the ratification of the U.S. Constitution in 1787. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreakfromlife Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 we're going through them on Netflix and our kids love them so much. I want to get them for them for next Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 We just started watching them -- they really grab dc's attention and their interest in that period of history is beginning to grow. I am debating whether or not to buy these. I was wondering how many of you view these multiple times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
