What does every little boy love? Tools and Tractors! Bob the Builder snags the attention of the viewer by starting out with a catchy song about Bob the Builder. The song introduces the Tractor, Dump Truck, and Bob himself. The song talks about working together to get things done and when a group of friends work together, anything is possible!
The tractors and big machines have fun names such as, “Scoops, Lofty, Muck, Dizzy, and Rolly.” They play together like good friends should.
In this episode Lofty, the tow truck, is nervous and scared of everything. He starts feeling bad and feels as if he is no help to anyone. He cries and goes off on his own. Lofty explains that he is afraid of everything and this doesn’t help anyone. Wendy, the human character, explains that it is okay to be scared. This is a great lesson for all kids! I want my son to understand that it is okay to be scared and that he can accomplish his fear. This episode teaches just that!
There is scarecrow that plays the trickster in this show. He teases Lofty and plays the part of a “Bully.” The scarecrow’s name is Spud. Spud is very mean to Lofty and chases Lofty away. Then…a good lesson is taught. Spud gets stuck in a tree and no one but Lofty can save him. Lofty puts his feeling aside and agrees to help the scarecrow that has been bullying him. Lofty is afraid of heights but becomes brave to help his bully.
Even though people can be cruel and mean, it is still important to put feelings aside and do the right thing. In the end, Spud apologizes to Lofty and they become friends. This is the type of lesson I want my son to understand and put into practice. Thanks Lofty!

You know I really love Thomas the Train. There is something charming about our little friend the train. I feel comfortable allowing my girls to watch the Thomas the Train cartoons without having to sit in the room with them every moment.
Splish, Splash, Splosh is no exception. While Thomas is a bit more naughty then he normally is…he is quick to accept the responsibility, realize his error and change his ways.
There are four episodes in the Splish, Splash, Splosh but the title episode is my favorite. Watching it with the twins was enlightening as they were quick to inform Thomas of
his errors. Thomas creates a lot of “big” and “messy” problems by carelessly enjoying too many puddles. Completely clueless to what his little fun has done for his fellow train friends…he is quick to rectify
the situations and helps John and Emily to carry out their duties.
Splish, Splash, Splosh just released in January but you can find it on sale for $12.97 at the Thomas and Friends website,

I found this video to be a great “quiet down” DVD before bedtime. The entire DVD is only 46 minutes long and also includes games!
This particular DVD is an animated cartoon rather then the live models type of cartoon. Personally I enjoy the animated versions considerably more then the
model type of cartoon. My twins seems to be much more interested in this version of animation as well.
Whether you are a train lover, cartoon lover or a Thomas lover…you are going to enjoy Splish, Splash, Splosh
