We watch a lot of videos at our house. It's nice to have some wholesome titles on hand for when our overpriced cable is all junk -- or reruns. Here are two titles we've enjoyed in the last couple of weeks, direct from NCircle Entertainment!
Noonbory & the Super7: They're Sense-ational!
This is a very sweet, uplifting DVD designed for kids in the toddler/preschool age group. My 3 year old LOVES the DVD, which is full of non-annoying songs, and features age-appropriate "super hero" adventures. Kids watch the main characters solve problems while they learn about core principles of sharing, patience, teamwork, and helping. There is also a focus on the five senses, since each superhero has a "super sense" that helps them contribute to the plot. At 60 minutes long, this is a super fun, but calm way to learn. I'd recommend it right before an afternoon nap! (Retails for $6.99 at Amazon.com)
Mighty Machines: Revved UP!
3 boys in a house = lots of excitement over trucks and big machines. That's why this video was perfect for our family! While it is entertaining (what's not to love about watching jet planes?) -- it's more educational than anything else. My boys got a first-hand look at watching a jet airplane being built, mountain rails in action, and cranes lifting heavy things. It's a future engineer's dream come true! While younger audiences (under 3) may not find it as interesting, the preschool - 1st grade crowd should enjoy seeing how their favorite machines operate. It's a perfect homeschool supplement, too! (Retails for $6.99 at Amazon.com)
