Preschool fundamentals--including shapes, colors, and the alphabet--are the focus of this one-hour program set in the after-school learning center familiar to viewers of Barney & Friends. Today, everyone is preparing for an art show, which provides plenty of scope for Barney´s gentle tutorials on circles, squares, reds, and blues, while he incorporates beloved songs such as "Mister Sun." Viewers will be inspired by the students´ art projects (which are easily replicated at home) as well as the lesson on mixing colors to create new hues. Then it´s off to Baby Bop´s tea party, a perfect segue into the realm of ABC´s. As Baby Bop learns to spell her name, there are plenty of rhyming games and alphabet songs to incite audience participation. While lacking the originality of some of Barney´s earlier music videos, there is no denying this lineup of merry songs and feel-good familiarity make this a cozy stroll into Barney´s world.
