Joley has a December birthday. Actually, her birthday is a week before Christmas and it makes for some busy birthday time. I worry that her birthday gets overshadowed by Christmas and even worse, that she doesn’t get that special day the way the other kids do. So, this year I decided to start a new tradition with Joley and we celebrated her half-birthday. Luckily, Dora’s Big Birthday Pack arrived just in time for the festivities. Since Joley loves Dora and the entire 3-DVD box set is about celebrating, it worked out perfectly for our festivities.
Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Big Party Pack Episode Synopses:
Dora the Explorer: Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure
Dora’s Big Birthday Adventure
A twisting wind has blown Dora and Boots into Wizzle World, a land located in the Magic Storybook. Dora and Boots can’t jump out of the Magic Storybook without first taking Dora’s crystal to the Wishing Wizzle so he can wish them back home in time for Dora’s birthday party with all her family and friends. The episode guest stars Rosie Perez, John Leguizamo and Hector Elizondo.
Dora Helps the Birthday Wizzle
Dora is reading a storybook about a Birthday Wizzle who could make birthday wishes come true with his magic wand. Today was his birthday so it was his turn to make a wish, but a wind came in and blew the wand out of the book. Dora must jump into the book and bring the wand back to the Wizzle so he can make his wish.
Wizzle Wishes
Dora and Boots meet a cute little Wizzle who lost his bag of wishes and can’t get home. Our heroes set off in search of the lost wishes, but their friends keep finding the wishes first and their wishes get everyone into trouble.
Dora the Explorer: Super Silly Fiesta
Super Silly Fiesta
Dora and Boots are invited to the Big Silly Chicken’s Super Silly Fiesta. The Big Red Chicken loses the cake for his party so Dora and Boots set off to save the fiesta.
Boots’ Special Day
Today, Boots gets to do anything he wants because it’s his special day!
Stuck Truck
When Ice Cream Truck gets stuck in the muck at Play Park, Dora and Boots are off to the rescue.
The Big Potato
Benny the Bull finds a magic wand and turns himself into a potato by mistake. It’s up to Dora and Boots to bring their potato friend back to the Young Wizard so that he can change Benny back into a bull.
Dora the Explorer: It’s A Party!
Daisy, la Quinceañera
It’s Dora’s cousin Daisy’s quinceañera! The party can’t start until Dora and Boots teach everybody the mambo.
The Big Piñata
Dora and Boots are trying to win the Big Piñata. They need to collect ten yellow tickets by playing carnival games.
Surprise!
It’s Boots’ birthday, but Benny the Bull is stuck on a hot air balloon that’s leaking and floating toward Crocodile Lake. Dora and Boots rush off to rescue their friend.
The Fix It Machine
Boots has a hole in his boot but Dora knows what to do. The Super Duper Fix-It Machine can fix it right up!
Johnny and Joley have really enjoyed sitting down and celebrating birthdays and parties with Dora and Boots. I love that they learn something new all the time when watching these fantastic videos and that I can hear them playing along with Dora in her many adventures.
Be sure to check out the new Dora’s Big Birthday Pack when it is released on July 12, 2011. You will be able to find it in stores for the suggested retail price of $24.99.
