BoohBah (PBS)    http://pbskids.org/boohbah/parentsteachers/parents.html
Boohbah is different from most educational TV. It is intended to foster a style of active viewing in which the things that children ages 3-6 learn from viewing are not determined primarily by the content of the program, but rather by the ways that young viewers (and the grown-ups who care about them) engage with the program. Woven into the design of Boohbah are opportunities to help children build skills in five different learning areas: Movement , Mathematics, Problem Solving /Science, Language Imagination
