I was very fortunate to get asked by Skylanders, to help promote their new season, by hosting a Skylanders Season 2 preview party. So this past weekend, I gathered up a bunch of Macaroni Kid Junior reporters, and we had an amazing time. We were able to screen the first two episodes of Season 2, and the Junior Reporters thought it was so cool that they were able to watch the episodes before anyone else. We were also provided with some great Skylander coloring sheets, and awesome swag to take home. The kids loved the Skylander trick-or-treat bags, comics, and pins.
The kids loved the show, and so did I! I loved how inspirational Skylanders Academy is, teaching children valuable life lessons. The lesson is everyone has their own inner power, something that makes them special, and it’s important to believe in yourself. It is so refreshing as a parent, to find shows that not only our children enjoy, but that we feel teaches them important lessons. Another thing that I really loved about Skylanders Academy, especially as a mom of two girls, is that the producers were very conscious to create very capable, strong, female characters in the show, who would inspire young female fans of Skylanders Academy.
We all had such a great time at the party, and those Junior Reporters who hadn’t previously watched Skylanders Academy, are excited to add it to their list of favorites. All of the moms at the party were also happy, having found another show that is not only child friendly, but inspirational.
