Since\nthe Floogals are aliens, they haven\u2019t encountered common things like dogs,\nbabies, mirrors, and beds. The preschool audience this show is aimed at will be\ndelighted that they know more than the Floogals do! But the show seems to be\nless about teaching kids about the actual objects the Floogals discover and\nmore about showing the aliens working together to use the scientific process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The voice actors for Flo, Fleeker, and Boomer\nmake it believable that they don\u2019t understand what all these common objects\nare. The animation is convincing especially when the animated characters move\nobjects in the real world, like when they hide inside a real teapot or bowl of\nfruit. My favorite part is when they run away from a balloon that they think is\na monster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Floogals.a.jpg?resize=225%2C159&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4202\" width=\"225\" height=\"159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Floogals.a.jpg?resize=300%2C212&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Floogals.a.jpg?resize=768%2C543&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Floogals.a.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This series has a lot of positive messages about\nteamwork and the joy of discovery.
