Excellent, innovative, colorful, engaging! Really captured the kids' attention. All the children enjoyed watching the video from the beginning to the end. One child said, "I like it because I'm happy." It only took a few songs to get them up and moving. During the song about books, one child started singing the alphabet. During the song about getting dressed, an alligator tries to get dressed. The kids thought that was very funny. They all moved along to the music, especially the song, "Buckle Up" which has a rap beat. They could relate to the subject matter of all the songs and really enjoyed moving to the various beats. They also really liked the Swingset Mamas themselves and the kids onscreen. This is a wonderful video with great songs that kids enjoy. Highly recommended.
A great great joy! Delightful, full of whimsy, fun and catchy tunes from reggae to Cajun to blues. Kids will relate to great music, engaging singers and musicians, 35 real life kids interacting and great animation and costumed characters to boot. A lot of fun and learning going on without even knowing it! The Swingset Mamas are extremely talented and bring the message across with great lyrics on everyday life and a great variety of music along with the great involvement of children. One of the most engaging music video pieces I've ever seen! The "Swingset Mamas" say, "There is a song in everything you, from waking up in the morning, taking a shower and eating." Their songs provide great joy and a real family experience. Kids will learn a lot from the fifteen music videos on this DVD including "Buckle Up," (car safety) to "The Colors of the Rainbow," (learning about healthy colorful veggies and fruits), to "Sunscreen Dance" (learning about importance of sunscreen to protect one's skin from the suns UV rays.)
Fifteen songs by the award-winning Swingset Mamas brought colorfully to life by imaginative sets, costumed characters, whimsical animation and 35 kids. Fun extras include: live clips, "making of" segment, PLUS a five-song CD sampler!
