PBS KIDS: ARTHUR Helps with Summer Learning and Healthy Living...

We're officially in that lull where Summer Learning needs to be a real focus as we hit the midway mark before it's Back-to-School time. With that in mind, PBS KIDS' ARTHUR is getting in on the action with a brand-new (FREE!) online game called D.W. & BUDS BACKYARD ADVENTURE, available to play right now on PBSKIDS.org. In the game, "little explorers join D.W. and Bud as they embark on an epic backyard adventure - all by using their powers of imagination, collaboration, and problem solving. Maneuver past trap doors, collapsing floors, sliding walls, and other obstacles...including snakes...Collect all of the pieces to rebuild some golden statues that MAY look a little familiar." But that's not all that ARTHUR has in store for summer goodness...

For over 17 years, ARTHUR has helped kids deal with important health issues, and now comes the launch of the ARTHUR FAMILY HEALTH Website, which offers games, videos, and other resources designed to help parents and educators talk to kids about important health issues-from asthma, food allergies, and nutrition - to fitness and resilience. This new site is a fantastic resource for year-round use...

Additionally, ARTHUR is returning for an all-new season this Fall. Check out PBSKIDS.org for details!
