Who are the DoodleBops

The Disney Channel is now hosting a new show, called The Doodlebops, in their Playhouse Disney lineup each Monday through Friday. You will find a mix of singing and dancing, rhyming and jokes and even a daily lesson to entertain your preschooler. The Doodlebops are full of color, using face paint and wigs, but they are definitely the hot group in the preschooler set right now! Much like the Wiggles, they have taken over many households temporarily. If you have not seen them yet, check them out. You will be singing their theme song all day long

In addition to the color, the Doodlebops make beautiful music. Each song has a simple lesson, and most are very memorable with catchy tunes. Your child will fall in love. As a parent, you may enjoy listening more than watching, because of the wild dress code the Doodlebops have. Whatever you decide to do, seeing the show once is something every parent needs to experience with his or her child!
