Children and parents alike are very much familiar with hit Dora the Explorer TV show. Many will still contest any assertions to place the show in equal footing in comparison with the legendary ‘Sesame Street'. But there are just too many ways how the animated television series effectively facilitates learning. As an animated series targeted at Western-culture children aged 6 to 7 years, Dora the Explorer TV show is an entertaining and engaging tool for interactive and fun learning. There are numerous reasons and ways how the show facilitates unconventional learning activities. Here are the most interesting points.

1. The show facilitates interactive learning, which has been proven to work well for children. Have you noticed how the show's main character, Dora, is talking to viewers personally? Through this strategy, creators and producers of the show are interacting with kids, engaging them, and at the same time, instilling learning. As Dora counts or recites the alphabet, kids are going along with her. The adventures injected and the fun interaction with supporting animated characters make the show all the more exciting, engaging, and informative to viewers.

2. Dora the Explorer TV show is training young kids to perform problem solving approaches. In every episode, there is always a little adventure, making the show more exciting and enticing to children. With the little situations Dora and friends encounter, children are posed to theoretical and imaginative what-ifs and situations. The show then trains kids to make educated and logical decisions and generalizations, as summed by Dora's actions.

3. Children are exposed to foreign language, particularly Spanish, since Dora is a Hispanic kid herself. Some kids and parents might be unaware, but creators of the show admit that the demographic features of Dora are a strategy to make young followers appreciate foreign races and descents. At the same time, kids are slowly exposed and conditioned to respect, acknowledge, and recognize foreign language. This way, Dora the Explorer TV show is contributing to set children's mind that the world is full of other races, languages, and cultures.

At the end of every episode, you will not only see the joy and satisfaction in kids' eyes. You will be delighted to observe that kids are starting to: apply the simple problem solving approaches they learned from the show, recite the alphabet, count correctly, and recognize and even speak several foreign words. Delicioso! Dora the Explorer TV show is really a must-see series for children.
