Prima Princessa presents the Nutcracker on PBS

Prima Princessa Ballerina will be airing on PBS this December so set your DVRs and get ready to be charmed. It tells the famed holiday story in a way that young kids aged 3-6 can understand it. With footage from England's Birmingham Royal Ballet, the story is narrated (and condensed) by Prima Princessa, a cartoon princess that immediately made my toddler take the show seriously. In between acts, preschool kids are given a ballet lesson by students from the School of American Ballet so they can dance around and copy what they're seeing on the screen.

Be warned: Your kids will insist on wearing her tutu. And look awfully cute.  -Elizabeth
