I loved Mr. Rogers Neighborhood when it was on PBS. It’s one of my favorite programs from my childhood. I can remember having the kids watch it when they were little as well. Of course, times change and television programs change. Some of the programs that are on today don’t impress me that much. Thankfully, there are still great shows like Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood brought to you by The Fred Rogers Company that offer engaging stories for preschoolers.

5 Hours of Engaging Stories for Preschoolers!
Now you can join Daniel Tiger and friends in a special Tiger-tastic three DVD collection, complete with 26 stories brought to you by The Fred Rogers Company. In Life’s Little Lessons, Daniel learns about visiting his doctor, using the potty, and daily routines. In Daniel’s Big Feelings, he discovers that talking about his feelings makes it easier to handle being sad, jealous, and frustrated. And, in Daniel Tries Something New, Daniel and his parents discuss what to expect when doing something for the very first time. Positive songs with easy-to-remember lessons help to reinforce the grr-ific ways your child can explore the world around them.
Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood builds on Fred Roger’s PBS series Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. The stories on this DVD help children develop the social and emotional skills necessary to enter school.
This special 3-pack includes the following:
- “Life’s Little Lessons” – Kids will learn about going to the potty with Daniel in two stories. A fun little song will help young children. “When you have to go potty, stop and go right away. Flush and wash and be on your way.” Other stories featured on this DVD are “Daniel Visits School,” “Daniel Visits the Doctor,” “Daniel Shares his Tigertastic Car,” “Katerina Shares her Tutu,” “Good Morning Daniel,” and “Goodnight Daniel.”
- “Daniel’s Big Feelings” – Daniel helps teach kids about a wide range of emotions in this DVD such as frustration, jealousy, and empathy. In the story “Someone Else’s Feelings,” Daniel is using a hammer as he pretends to fix Trolley, but Daniel’s hammering is too loud for O the Owl and hurts his ears. Mom Tiger sees that O the Owl is uncomfortable and talks to Daniel about thinking about O the Owl’s feelings. Other stories featured on this DVD are “Empathy at School,” “Duckling Goes Home,” Daniel Feels Left Out,” “Daniel Gets Frustrated,” “Frustration at School,” “Daniel is Jealous,” and “Jealousy at the Treehouse.” Two bonus stories are also on this DVD – “Daniel Gets Mad” and “Katerina Gets Mad.”
- “Daniel Tries Something New” – This grr-ific DVD includes important lessons about waiting, playing together, the fact that grownups come back, and working together. In the tale “Teacher Harriet’s Birthday,” Daniel, his classmates, and Mom Tiger decorate the classroom for Teacher Harriet’s birthday. As Daniel and friends work to create a rainbow from streamers, they uncover that, “if you can’t do it alone work together!” Other stories featured on this DVD are “Daniel’s Babysitter,” “Daniel Goes to School,” “Prince Wednesday Finds a Way to Play,” “Finding a Way to Play on Backwards Day,” “Daniel Waits for Show and Tell,” “A Night Out at the Restaurant,” and “The Dragon Dance.”
All of these stories are adorable and fun for kids to watch. I enjoyed Someone Else’s Feelings and The Dragon Dance the most, but they will all be loved by fans of the show. The 3-pack includes over five hours of play time on three separate discs. This is a must buy Daniel Tiger DVD collection!

This is a great set for shy little preschoolers. My sister grew up in a big city (Chicago) and was able to attend preschool whereas I grew up in a little village with no preschool and was very shy. I wish we had something like this growing up but really love now how the homeschooling has taken off. DVDs like these really can help reach kids at an important age.
Totally agree, Deb. There are so many great titles.
