    Subject:Dora the Explorer for a theme...any ideas?

    Hey everyone, at my center we do yearly themes to decorate our room for the new school year. For my theme I chose Dora's Explorers. I have some ideas such as using the estrellas for numbers and back pack for colors but I was wondering if anyone had any other ideas? Thank you so much for the help. Melissa

    Dora is a great theme - There's so much you can do - She has an esquella, There are the stars for numbers and colors that might work better. In one of her stories, she goes to letter mountain - so you could make a mountain on a wall - or even better, the floor - and every time you cover a new letter, they can do an obstical course that ends at the proper letter. They have Swiper in the stories, so you could use him to show bullying (when he swipes things and makes the person feel bad). My daughter has a Dora CD with music on it - all kinds of things with a "latin flavor". One of my son's favorites from the CD is limbo - how low can you go. That could get worked in. But I really suggest sitting down and reading some of the books. They have seasonal stories as well and really, Dora is a great little girl - she's even a big sister! :) Have fun!
