I am always on the lookout for great kids DVDs that don’t make me want to climb the walls. There is nothing worse than a DVD that your kids love and drives you insane. (There are more of these types of kids videos on the market than I’d like to admit).
That being said, I have found an awesome kids video called Start To Finish. This is one of the best kids videos I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot). I love that it covers a variety of topics (like saying excuse me to how to make pizza!). If you’ve ever watched How They Made It (I think it’s on TLC), this video reminds me a lot of that. I learned how they make applesauce. Start To Finish even taught a mom a thing or two! Do you know why they throw the pizza dough up in the air? You’ll have to watch the DVD to find out why! They use real life things to talk about education things like shapes. Your kids won’t even realize that they are learning!!
Start To Finish is a very entertaining children’s DVD. It is for kids 3-6 years old, and each segment is the perfect length for that ages’ attention span. Will (my 4 year old) was even talking to the TV as we watched this. I cannot say enough good things about this dvd. It is just that good. It is also about twice the length of most of the other DVDs in the market for this age group!
Since we loved Start To Finish, I have arranged for one of my lucky readers to get their own DVD!!! Here’s what you need to do:
