Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Fantastic Gymnastics Adventure Episode Synopses:

Dora’s Fantastic Gymnastics Adventure
Dora and Boots are practicing for the Fantastic Gymnastics Show when Dora gets a special delivery – a beautiful rainbow ribbon.  This means Dora gets to start the Big Gymnastics Show with her ribbon dance!  But Swiper comes in and steals the ribbon so Dora and Boots set out on an adventure to get the ribbon back in time for the show.

A Ribbon for Pinto
Pinto is really excited about the Big Horse Show and he’d like to win his very first blue prize ribbon.  Dora, Boots, and Pinto are taking a train to the show, but the train breaks down and they worry they won’t be able to make it!

Swiper’s Favorite Things
Swiper is packing all of his favorite things for a sleepover at his Grandma’s House – his pajama trunk, his favorite puppy book, and his very special funny bunny.  Just as he is about to leave, a big wind gust comes in and blows everything away! Dora and Swiper journey to Crocodile Lake, through the Jumbled Trees, and race to Strawberry Hill to get Swiper’s favorite things back.

This Dora DVD came just in time for my 5-year-old daughter!  She is currently going through a gymnastics phase and is obsessed with round offs, cartwheels and “hand-stand-splits”.  I’m not sure hand-stand-splits is the correct term, but she is pretty good at whatever it is!  When she saw the cover and I told her it was called “Fantastic Gymnastics” she went crazy!  Both of my daughters ran up into the playroom to watch!  They loved mimicking the moves and singing along to with Dora.  The only problem now is trying to find a ribbon to match Dora’s!  My 3-year-old boy loved the “Swiper’s Favorite Things” episode.  Swiper is his favorite character and he was so happy to see the soft side of him with his stuffed animals!  He also thought it was cool that Swiper goes to his Grandma’s house for sleepover just like he does!  Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Fantastic Gymnastics was adorable and I would recommend to any preschool aged girls or boys!

Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Fantastic Gymnastics will be released July 31, 2012.  It retails for $16.99 and is available on Amazon, Target and Walmart.
