Super Bowl Fun For the Kids
Sunday night is the Super Bowl and most of the TVs in America will be tuned in to the big game. So, what do you do when your toddler starts screaming for some cartoons? Jennifer at Parenting Toddlers has some great ideas on how to include the kids in the game time festivities. Or, if your child couldn’t care less about those guys throwing a ball around on TV, I have a couple of other Super Bowl alternatives you might want to try. Of course they do require access to a second TV and possibly a DVD player or VCR.
The animated movie Open Season was released on DVD Tuesday and might be a fun treat for your kids while you enjoy the game. Boog and Elliot’s adventures are sure to keep little ones entertained. Plus, if any of the adults get tired of watching the big game they might enjoy a bit of the movie too.
Cartoon Network is running a Scooby Doo marathon through the afternoon and evening on Super Bowl Sunday (check local listings for times). Among the episodes airing will be “Aloha, Scooby Doo”, “Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase”, “Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire”, “Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders”, “Scooby Doo in Where’s My Mummy?”, and “Scooby Doo: Pirates Ahoy”. If your kids love Scooby and his pals this might just help keep them calm while the adults go crazy in the other room.
If neither of those alternatives fit your child’s taste, you can always run up to your local video store and rent some Dora the Explorer, Blue’s Clues, or a myriad of other cartoons on DVD or VHS for your child to enjoy while you enjoy the game. Just be sure to make it a special time for them too. If they have something special to watch, you’ll have a better chance of actually watching the game.
