Since my last post on Dora the Explorer, I came across a great Dora article on NPR. I love that it mentions that “Some parents might also find her a little annoying — when she encourages kids to yell, for instance.” That seems to be big secret to successful kids products: if adults find it annoying, it will be a huge success. Adults may have to suck up the annoyance factor, though, because Dora-themed shows and products do the double duty of entertaining while educating. However, here are a few annoyance-free Dora products for the little explorers in your life:

• Dora the Explorer toothbrushes, which make kids actually want to brush their teeth
• Pampers Splashers Swim Pants featuring Dora the Explorer
• Dora the Explorer Folding Potty Seat - I don’t know what to make of this, but it sort of fascinates me.
• Dora Bedding - because sweet dreams are usually quiet.
