Josie Loza: Win a Daniel Tiger prize pack
Josie Loza Omaha World-Herald

We have a cool contest we’re announcing today on momaha.

You can register to win a Daniel Tiger prize pack, by clicking here.

That’s right. We’re talking about the “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” character.

PBS recently launched an animated spin-off to the classic children’s television show.

In “Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood,” original Mister Rogers characters have grown up and with children of their own are living in the Neighborhood of Make Believe. Four-year-old Tiger (son of the original Tiger) is the star.

The “next generation” concept intends to use the musical education strategies pioneered by Fred Rogers’ landmark original program, which was in production from 1968 to 2001 and continued airing on PBS until about three years ago.

Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood launched this fall as part of the PBS Kids pre-school lineup and represents the first show launched by the Fred Rogers Company since the original program.

Learn more about Daniel the Tiger at http://pbskids.org/daniel. The website contains games that supplement the lessons learned on the show, printables like coloring pages of the new characters and video from the newest episodes. You can also visit the NET Kids site for videos, printables and more.

You can also watch the first episode “Daniel’s Birthday” on the NET Kids website by clicking here.

So what’s in the Daniel Tiger prize pack:

1 – Daniel Tiger shirt (large or small, depending on size of child)

4- Daniel Tiger placemats

2 – Daniel Tiger sets of stickers

1 – Daniel Tiger coffee mug

1 – Copy of the Daniel Tiger iPad/iPhone Game

1 – NET Adult Shirt

1 – NET Pen
