Nickelodeon's Dora Digital Story Book

Friday, September 21, 2012

For parents of preschoolers, watching TV often means tuning into Nickelodeon for D-D-D-D-D-Dora and her trusty friend Boots as they embark on a myriad of adventures. With help of Map, Dora and the viewer must solve problems and overcome obstacles along the way to their goal. At the end of each episode, Dora and her friends, along with the viewer, celebrate with her signature "We Did It" dance. Now young viewers are invited to join Dora and Boots by taking part in a digital adventure unlike any other. With some adult help, Dora fans can create a personalized story featuring Dora and the gang along with a customizable likeness of themselves. When you purchase specially marked Dora products at Walmart, you will find a unique PIN code which will grant you access to the Dora Digital Story Book.

After entering your unique PIN at doradigibook.com, you will be prompted to create a custom avatar where you can easily select gender, skin, eye and hair colour as well as clothing and accessories options.

As you read the story with your child, your child will loving hearing his or her name on every page. You can also add images to each scene, including characters, trees and other objects as they relate to the sports-themed adventure. The interface really is user-friendly but you will likely need to help your little one manipulate the mouse. Once complete, you can download and share your story with friends and family.

Be sure to look out for specially marked Dora wear with the hangtag containing your unique code the next time you shop at Walmart.
