The popular Korean cartoon for young children in Korea is Pororo the Little Penguin. "Far far away, unknown and untouched by human civilization, lies a peaceful island covered in snow and ice. On this white island, deep inside a small secluded forest, is a tiny village inhabited by little animals. No-one knows how they came to live on the island but they naturally came to live together in the village situated in the little valley where the sunshine is warmest and the cold wind is least harsh. In the village lives Pororo, a very inquisitive impish little penguin, good-natured polar bear Poby, smug nosy red fox Eddy, shy and timid little beaver Loopy, friendly penguin girl Petty and happy humming bird Harry. All of our friends have distinct personalities and different interests which sometimes cause little (and sometimes not so little) happenings in their calm white world. But they are all good friends and know how to help each other in times of trouble." (You can explore the Pororo site in English here )
The children love this cute cuddly penguin and there are tons of Pororo toys readily available in the Korean stores (and online) and DVDs and CDs too! I bet we'll stock up on some Pororo stuff for sweet Zoe and her big brothers while we are in Korea to bring home with us! Check out these cute Pororo Chopsticks! I think they're a must-have for our kiddos!
