Beyond Watching the Show: Activities for Fans of The Backyardigans

by

Welcome to this week’s edition of Beyond Watching the Show, where I give some ideas of activities for kids that enjoy a particular show that go beyond just watching the show. If you have more ideas of activities for this show please comment and share your ideas. Also, please comment here if you have a request of a show to feature in an upcoming edition of Beyond Watching the Show.

This week’s show is The Backyardigans.

Backyardigans Coloring Pages: This part of the Nick Jr. website has several coloring pages of the Backyardigan characters including Cowboy and Cowgirl character placemats that they can color and you can laminate for use. Here they have color by number coloring pages of the Backyardigan characters. Other coloring page packs include the Super Secret Spy coloring pages.

Backyardigan Puppets: This printable set of paper puppets is a fun craft to start with. Plus, it leads into letting the kids put on their own Backyardigan plays. They can act out their favorite Backyardigan episodes or better yet use their imaginations to create new adventures. This could be a fun on going craft making new outfits for the puppets and new backgrounds for different adventures. There is also a set of printable Backyardigan puppets already decorated to be knights here.

Backyardigans Song Sheets: These printable song sheets have the lyrics of some of the Backyardigan songs. They can be a good way of teaching kids to read by showing them lyrics to their favorite Backyardigans songs on the colorful templates. For those that fans that can already read they can be used to sing along with the show.

The Imagination Factory: This website has a lot of ideas for using your imagination (one of the key things the Backyardigans promote). Best of all is that the ideas that involve recycling.
