Dora the Explorer has been the favorite Nick Jr. show among preschoolers for the last several years, but a new show is set to take the top spot.  Yo Gabba Gabba is a half hour show hosted by “DJ Lance Rock” and the story lines surround the interaction between the “Gabba Friends”: Muno (a red cyclops), Foofa (round and pink with a flower on her head ), Brobee (a little green monster), Toodee (a blue cat-dragon) and Plex (a yellow robot).  The episodes have musical segments (with bands that mom and dad probably like!) and animated stories.  There is lots of dancing and lessons about how to be a good friend, being polite, sharing, etc.  The characters are lovable and cute and kids LOVE them.

If you have a toddler or preschool aged child, you’ve probably found yourself scanning the web for Yo Gabba Toys.  They haven’t been around long, but the product line is expanding.  Here are my top picks!

Yo Gabba Gabba Grooves Guitar: $15.99 - The guitar plays several Yo Gabba Gabba songs.  Toddlers love to push the buttons and dance. It is a favorite at our house!

Yo Gabba Gabba DJ Lance Magic Dance Hat & Glasses: $24.99 - DJ Lance defines cool for the under 4 crowd.  He’s a wicked dancer and best of all, he seems like the nicest guy ever.  You just want to hug him!  Kids will be beyond thrilled to get to dress like him.

Yo Gabba Gabba Play Tent: $23.99 - Children can put on their own shows and have all kinds of fun hiding inside.  If you’re lucky, they may even nap inside!

Yo Gabba Gabba Dance Time Dancing Brobee: $21.99 - The first time my daughter saw this, she fell onto the floor she was laughing so hard.  It’s goofy and loud, just the kind of thing little kids love.

Looking to redecorate your toddler’s room?  This Yo Gabba Gabba bedding set ($69.95) is super cute and would work for a boy or a girl. It’s specifically made to fit a toddler bed and is affordable.

I hope this list has helped all of the Yo Gabba families out there—and if you are new to Yo Gabba Gabba just wait—soon you’ll be singing along with your kids to all of the songs!
