They all click their eyes shut in turn!
I saw them dance round today and it was like camberwick green!

Fabulous childrens television.

yeah, upsy daisy lets it down a bit...
at least igglepiggle throws himself on the floor in a comedy manner every so often.

I Love the noise the ninky nonk makes, that little flicking bell,
and the way they all 'minimise' to fit inside!!

I didnt see it but there is another thread already about this...oops

At first watch I just thought 'Eh?' but after a while I realised how soothing and relaxing it was for DD2, who is totally besotted with it btw. We are big Macca Pacca fans in the Bomper house!!

So funny, my DD2 who is only 2yrs and 3 months is obsessed with Macca Pacca.
At Easter weekend we went to Snowdonia and climbed the pig trail up to the lake near the top of Snowdon.
And she insisted on picking up stones and carrying them up the mountain saying that she was Macca Pacca!
Totally obsessed!

DS runs around singing "ponty pines pontypines pontypines" to the tune of twinkle twinkle - my only problem with the programme is it has altered our entire bedtime routine, and now he has to have a bath b4 or it will be v late to bed - so we usually miss half of it as he's arguing about getting in the bath!!

Oxygen · 14/04/2007 20:42

I'ves till not watched it, but DD says it is her new favourite programme

Dinosaur · 14/04/2007 20:42

Love it. Was quite disappointed that it wasn't on tonight.

lissielou · 14/04/2007 20:47

ds loves it, hes totally entranced and when upsy-daisy and iggle-piggle kiss he runs over and gives me a big sloppy kiss!

DaisyMOO · 14/04/2007 21:20

My 7 year old is totally obsessed with it. Still, makes a change from Raven and Basil Brush

Dinosaur · 14/04/2007 21:22

My 7 year old watches it too, along with the 5 year old and the 2 year old!

maccapaccasmankysponge · 14/04/2007 21:34

When the pontypines click their eyes shut DS (18 months) makes clicking sounds with his ihs tongue...took me a while to catch on but what a cutie...

FrannyandZooey · 14/04/2007 21:36

Will some kind soul burn me a DVD with an episode or two on please? I am really intrigued and I can't find it on YouTube at all

Dinosaur · 14/04/2007 21:37

FrannyandZooey · 14/04/2007 21:38

Trinityrhino · 14/04/2007 21:38

Dinosaur · 14/04/2007 21:40
