Mission to Mars extras from Nick Jr.

Nick Jr. is providing a lot of extras as part of the upcoming premiere of the new Backyardigans season. (Incidentally, just in case you've forgotten, Mission to Mars will be airing for the first time on Nick Jr. next Monday at 10:30 a.m.)

In addition to a a coloring pack, there are also name badges that you can print out on adhesive ink jet paper, a "Make Your Own Martian" printable, and Mission to Mars song sheets.

If your printer isn't working, you can still send an e-card to a friend. There is also an online Mission to Mars game your child can play. It's a very simple game, well-suited to the Backyardigans preschool audience, with lots of guidance as they play and plenty of tolerance for mistakes. Your child might still need a little help from you, however, on how to use the keyboard and mouse according to the game's requirements. You'll find a link to the game at the Mission to Mars index page.
