Why do kids love Dora the Explorer so much?

they like a lot of things i dont understand lol

Yes my daughter loves it so much. She's always there when its time for Dora.

My kids love dora too. Mine really like the adventures they go on and they like the spanish. They love to try and say words in spanish. They also like it when they try to catch the stars.

Oh yes. I think they love the fact that they can sing along and they love all the characters.

I had never heard of Dora the Eplorer before I joined myLot but have seen a lot of discussions about it here. I heard of one young Dora fan in a discussion on here and after reading about it I did some browsing to find out what it was all about. I haven't seen the tv shows but I think I would have wanted all the toys and furniture when I was a little girl :). I knew this little Dora fan needed a new bed and that her mother was trying to save up for it and I gave a hint to one of the 13 Santa Claus's in Iceland and in a few days this little girl will be sleeping in her own Dora bed :). We don't have Dora in Iceland (not that I know of at least) but another show has the attention of youngsters here and that is Lazytown. It is an Icelandic made tv show that started quite a long time ago in Iceland but started on Nickleodeon a year or two ago. It is now aired in over 100 countries and is becoming more popular every day. In Iceland Lazytown even has it's own currency, kids can get lazytown money when they put money into their bank accounts and use it to buy fruit, vegetables, bread, water and other healthy food and snacks at some grocery stores. Do your kids watch that show also? You can see info on it on wwww.lazytown.com. They promote healthy dieting, excercise, anti-bullying and much more.

My kids love Dora the explorer!!! I think it is the colours, the games played and the songs they use etc.

I Really Don't Know

my daughter loves dora and she's not even two yet, i think it's the color, the easy way to say her name, and the singing and dancing, she doesn't understand the language thing so i know it's not the spanish!

I don't know, but I, personally, can't stand Dora. All she does is yell the whole freakin' time.

i think it is both.

i don't know what it is either, my 3 year old has been nagging her dad for a Dora talking kitchen, she's really into dora, she saw Dora cereal in the grocery and she wanted it

I don't know but my neice who is 3 and my daughter who is also 3 Love dora and Spongebob there is something about those shows but I have to say they learn from them...Better than Braney..LOL..

i have no idea but.. de de de de de dora de de de de de de dora , dora dora dora the explorer... LOL

My son loves that also. Its maybe the concept of the show, the characters and the background. Children love animals and colorful pictures and dora has it. Most of all children the talking animal and plants around dora and boots.

My daughters age 4 and 5 == love Dora, I think it is the songs and they love Boots and the other animals. Kids are attraced to animals and they learn so much from the show.

My daughter love it and i do too, i think it is very educational because it shows many different things for the kids to learn.

It's because she is so cute. My daughter likes Dora as well and she is very addicted to the show.

i run a dance class for kids 4+ and in their break all they seem to talk about is dora the explorer i know all the characters and probably every single spanish word they use on the cartoon without watching a single episode!

My kids also love Dora, that is, when my eldest kid can lure away her brother from the Power Rangers. I think it is the feeling that when you watch Dora you are also a participant in their adventures. it is because when you watch Dora, you are given the illusion that you are helping them in their quest like when they ask you to say "Map" when they want to ask for directions, or to repeat the places they have to go to reach their destination.

hmm im not so sure too why kids love dora so much, but then i guess its because of the songs, the puzzled kids really feel entertain much.
