Dora the Explorer is an animated series starring a 7-year-old girl and her friends. The show is designed to actively engage pre-schoolers in a play-along, computer-style adventure.
Dora the Explorer teaches children how to observe situations and solve problems as they explore Dora's world with her. Along the way, kids learn basic Spanish words and phrases, as well as math skills, music, and physical coordination. The show is highly interactive, and Dora's young viewers are encouraged throughout the show to respond to Dora and to actively participate in the adventure through physical movement.
