This is part of a compensated campaign with Latina Mom Bloggers and Discovery Familia. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
Having kids learn and discover from a very young age is really important to us. You have read plenty of times where we mention that learning about other cultures, language, geography and basic things like habits, traditions and food will build tolerance and understanding of others: first big step towards a more peaceful world, we think.
Part of all of the above is ensuring kids are curious about their planet. That translates into getting children start by getting to know the world around them.
The love of learning is easy to achieve when think of little ones whose sole purpose is a carefree living of discovery and play. So, for my little preschooler I make sure we have activities to share where I can sneak in education while we spend quality time together. I found with the older munchkin that doing this will make it easier to learn and definitively long lasting
For example, when we go play at the park, we do run around and play in the sand box. But we also take some time to examine plants, leaves, and insects. As we inspect these, conversations evolve into bigger topics like: a bee lives with many other bees and their home is called a bee hive. All the bees have a queen bee. The rest of the other bees have different tasks in the hive so it runs smoothly. Of course we inevitably talk about how honey is made and stored.
A day or two will pass when I will find little munchkin hiding under a blanket. When I ask what she is doing, she tells me she is a bee and is in her hive making honey. She proceeds to detail some portions of the honey making we discussed together. Then her imagination takes over as she uses her stuffed dolphin to be the “queen bee” and goes on to have a conversation with her on how they need to think of how they are going to share their honey with humans. It is then when she tells me she wants to have a honey stand like she had seen in a TV cartoon to sell the honey.
Wow, I was taken aback, not only was she really taking it all in, she went a step further thanks to her imagination to show the first signs of an entrepreneur in the making!
This is why I can’t wait for Doki, a new series for kids, to air next November 11th.
Doki and his amigos are all curious and have big imaginations, just like preschoolers, and this makes them prone to great discoveries and learning about the world.
Six friends will travel around the word in a plane. Landing to discover new places and people while solving day to day problems to encourage children not to give up whenever they might encounter obstacles.
music, biology, geography,astronomy, art and music are some of the topics that will be present in the show.
Of course it will all be done in a very interesting way. This mean that kids will learn with Doki things like where does silk come from, how does gravity work, or what is a time zone.
We will be able to enjoy Doki every weekday at 5:30 ET / 2:30 PA on Discovery Familia chanel, the only Spanish-language network fully dedicated to serving the needs of Hispanic moms that live in the United States and their preschool children.
Time to let the spirit of exploration take over! Invite Doki to your home for great learning fun just the way preschoolers do it: with curiosity and banking on their imagination!

Aw what a cute sounding cartoon 🙂 good luck to all who enter 🙂 x
My kids love Discovery and they even have a Doki plush, they are really looking forward the new Doki series.
I love that kids are learning while being entertained.what a cute cartoon
i’ve never seen this cartoon before but i do find that the show is very informative, kids would love this because they will also learn from Doki.
Sounds like a fun show….but we don’t get Discovery Familia.
That sounds like it is going to be a great show. I will set up a reminder so we do not miss it. My 4yo I am sure will like it.
This show looks interesting to watch. My daughter would probably love this when she was younger.
awe sounds fun and cute. I bet the kiddos would love this!
this show seems too cute! i have some students in my class that would love it!
That sounds like a great show! I try and encourage their imagination by just always pointing things out and talking and by trying really hard to listen when they are telling me about the things they are “inventing”
I am now following your blog, am I supposed to leave a new comment for each entry?
Sounds like a neat show! I don’t think we get Discovery Familia but I’ll have to check into it. 🙂
How fun!! Wish Doki had been around when my kids were a little younger – they would have loved this!
Another new one to introduce to my kids, thanks for sharing.
Oh how fun! We have never seen the show Doki and sounds like something new for the kids to watch. Thank you so much. 🙂
A mis chicos les encanta Doki. Ya son mas grandecitos pero todavia lo ven jajaja!
I would take my trio camping, and of course that sparked a whole lotta adventures in learning!
