Dora the Explorer Episodes:

I often tape episodes of the girls' favorite shows, label them and pull them out when doing a particular theme.  This is especially useful for birthday parties and may come in handy for teachers and daycare workers.  For example, if I'm having a fairy tale theme during the week, I might choose Episode #112 of Dora (a Little Red Ridinghood story) and show it.

I've added links to some of the sections on the site that I might use to go with the episodes.  They aren't Dora the Explorer crafts -- they're generic crafts that would go with the story.  For specific Dora the Explorer crafts, check out the Dora the Explorer Section of the site.

Episode #111:  Wizzle Wishes 

Dora and Boots meet a cute little Wizzle who lost his bag of wishes and can’t get home.  Our heroes set off in search of the lost wishes.  But their friends keep finding the wishes first, and their wishes get everyone into trouble.  Dora and Boots must overcome a giant sunflower in Isa’s garden, a storm of raining nuts in the Nutty Forest, and slippery slopes at the Wishing Well.
