Prima Princessa

What little girl doesn't dream of becoming a ballerina? I know I always used to have fun dressing up in tutus and twirling around the room.

Prima Princessa is a DVD that shows real life ballet, along with demonstrations of some basic steps by kids. They then encourage the viewers to get up and try those steps too. It gets them off the couch and dancing around the room.

My daughter had a lot of fun spinning and jumping around the room. If you want to check out the video of her doing this, or if you want to win a copy of the DVD for your family, come on over to Sweet 'n' Sassy Girls!

Review: Ribert & Roberts Wonderworld

We really don't watch a lot of cable tv in my house. We are more DVD oriented - so I really don't know what kids usually watch on tv. But, I just discovered a television show called Ribert & Robert's Wonderland.
When I was asked if I wanted to review the DVD, I thought it would be cool. After all, I've been able to introduce my kids to some cool episodes and characters thanks to reviews. For example, I love VeggieTales! I never would have thought I would have enjoyed that show so much if it wasn't for the review.

So let's talk about Ribert & Robert's WonderWorld. Ribert is a computer generated frog that talks to a young man named Robert. He rides a rollercoaster rocket and the kids "ride along". The WonderWorld uses a lot of computer animation making it very much a virtual world. During the shows, your child helps Ribert complete educational challenges that give you keys. The keys open doors and you get to see more real people that help lead the story, teaching children through stories, magic, art and more.

Ribert & Robert... let me tell you...my kid is CRAZY over the DVD we got. Honestly, I prefer VeggieTales. It's got a storyline and characters who make cute jokes. So in hindsight, VeggieTales is created for both kids and their parents.

Ribert & Robert's WonderWorld is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS. That is not a bad thing, but I watch it wondering what makes it so special. This is what I came up with - If you kid has a laptop or handheld device, they will like and understand Ribert & Robert. Because the educational challenge and the graphics are just like a computer device. So during these challenges my son actually walks to the television screen and points out answers.

For example, the DVD I received had two shows on it - Rainforest and Winter. During the Winter Challenge you had to help Ribert build a snowman. And after you completed one of the challenges, a magician showed you how you could build a snowman with a piece of paper and crayon. Then he made the snowman turn into confetti. And during the Rainforest show, you had to point out monkeys that were camoflauged in the rainforest. And after one of the challenges, you were able to watch a story teller tell a story about monkeys in the rainforest.

You can watch full episodes of Ribert & Robert's Wonderland on Wonderworld TV.com. Episodes that are available for viewing are Colors, Dinosaurs and Bugs. You can also see snippets of the show, like how to do a happy dance or draw a cheerleader.

The show has won many awards, including:

• Winner of the Best Award at the Kid's First Film Festival
• iParenting Media Award
• Coalition nfor Children's Media All-Star Rating

Ribert and Robert's WonderWorld is the flagship program of WonderWorld TV. Wonderworld TV's mission is to use the full power of evolving media to build a 21st century virtual children's network for broadcast television, On Demand, mobile, satellite and the Internet.

Veggie Tales

There's just something about singing and dancing vegetables that is quite endearing. Maybe it's the fact that they teach kids good values in a fun way. We can't get enough Veggie Tales in our house. So we were thrilled when we had the chance to review their latest movie: Veggie Tales: Abe & the Amazing Promise. This movie helps teach kids about patience. Be sure to check out my review for more information on how we liked the movie!

My Baby Can Talk

I started to teach my daughter to sign when she was just an infant, because I wanted to be able to understand what she wanted! She used to sign "more" all the time, so I knew when she wanted more food, more play, etc. Now she signs "food" all the time. As a mom, that is so nice to know when she is hungry. I don't have to guess why she is fussing.

My Baby Can Talk is a great fun video that teaches kids to sign. The recommend it for ages 10 months and up. For more details or to enter to win a copy of this, visit my post on My Baby Can Talk on my blog.
