Expand your child’s Spanish vocabulary with the help of Dora and Season 6 of Dora the Explorer, now in Noggin!
Did you know that when preschoolers go on learning adventures with Dora they sing, dance, learn math, reading, and also expand their Spanish vocabulary? Before you start exploring more Dora episodes, take this 5-question quiz to see how many Spanish words you and your little explorer already know!
Quiz: Test Your Spanish Skills!
What does el pájaro mean?
What does las estrellas mean?
What does el árbol mean?
What does la luna mean?
What does las nubes mean?
💡 After you finish taking this quiz, try practicing the words you and your little explorer weren’t familiar with. When you look out the window, say “el sol” instead of the sun, or “la casa” when leaving or returning to your home. When watching Dora the Explorer, listen for new Spanish words you and your child can learn to say two ways!

Hi! I’m Frank. An animator from Noggin. Today, I’m going to show you how to draw a Bubble Guppy! First, we start by drawing a circle for the head. Circles are hard so I like to scribble when I draw. It helps me get the shapes better. Now it’s your turn. Next up, I do the body. Guppy bodies are super simple. Almost like a banana. And what Guppy would be complete without a fin? Your turn. I hope you’re keeping up. Oh, I can’t forget the arms and hands! They can be super simple just sticks and circles. Now I’m going to trace over. Make sure I got what I like. Perfect. Now you draw the eyes, nose, and mouth. Like everything else, really simple shapes and lines. Your turn. Can you guess which Guppy I’m drawing? Goby! He’s so much fun to draw. Did you know Guppies are similar but have cool differences just like us? Watch me turn this into another Guppy. Can you guess who? Deema! How could you miss her with her amazing hair? Hmm, I wonder what I would look like as a Guppy? Well, if it really was me, I’d draw a beard. Okay, okay, enough games. I have an idea. How about you draw your very own Guppy and share it in the comments below. I can’t wait to see what you all make. Thanks for watching everybody and keep doodling!

Posted by NOGGIN on Monday, July 13, 2020
Get ready for an action-packed activity with your young athlete!
What Campers Will Learn:
Jumping, balancing and doing other exercises help campers learn about sportsmanship and keep their muscles strong!
Tap to print this block set, and then try the challenges listed below!
Try these 5 challenges with your athlete!
1. Balance Block
Place a block on your athlete’s head and have them walk from one end of the room to the other without letting the block fall. Can they run and do it?
2. Block Roll
Start in one spot with your athlete. Each of you pick one block and roll it as far as you can. Now roll another block— which one rolls farther away? Try again!
3. Block Jump
Put a block on the floor. Jump over it with 2 feet and then have your athlete do it! Now put another block on top of the first block and jump again! Keep jumping— how many blocks high can you and your athlete jump?
4. Hide and Dash
Have your athlete close their eyes while you hide the blocks around a room. Then count down slowly from 10 while your athlete dashes around trying to find all of the blocks before you get to 0! Switch places!
5. Block Toss
Stand in front of your athlete. You throw one block to them and they throw it back. If you both catch the block, you both take a step back. Keep going— how far can you get without dropping the block?
Try This Together! Make up your own challenges like balancing a block on your toe or tossing it like a hot potato. What other awesome ideas can you and your athlete come up with?
Athlete Fact:
Exercises like running and jumping keep your muscles— including your heart— strong. When you do these exercises, your heart beats fast. Put your hand on your heart before you run or jump, and then feel it right after. Does it beat faster after you exercise? Keep exercising, Athlete!
