Blog Post #9: Why Kids Love Cartoons pt. 2

A couple of weeks ago, i wrote this blog about why kids love cartoons so much. Well, I was thinking a little bit more on the subject and came to the conclusion that not only are cartoons able to capture a child’s attention but they are able to take kids to worlds, and gain some education, that they wouldn’t be able to experience elsewhere.

For example, a great children’s cartoon is the Little Einsteins. In this cartoon, four friends travel in a rocket ship all over the world, teaching kids about different types of music, cultures, and even teaches kids some simple problem solving. It is very interactive, getting the viewers to watch and participate by clapping or doing other various activities to get them to really take part in what they are watching and learning.

Also, what I have noticed in many cartoons, and also in those just not for kids, that they are able to teach children how to act in certain life situations by using characters that they can relate to. Children really do copy what they see, so by watching a cartoon, some of those social skills are developed into a child and are able to help them in the future.

So, why do kids love cartoons? Well not only are they bright and colorful and capture their attention, but they are really able to learn and grow by watching them too. Some really get kinds to interact with what they are doing, and are able to educate them in ways that they are able to grasp and understand.
