Kids stayed connected to the video until the end. One three-year-old did not participate but watched the entire thing. Children 4-9 stayed focused throughout and the youngest wanted to watch it again, a couple right away. The oldest child (9) thought the presentation a little young but he enjoyed the activity of learning to draw the monkey best. One 4-year-old said, "I liked it a lot. I learned how to draw stuff and it was fun to see it come to life." "I liked the dinosaur when he acted silly. He made bubbles in his drink and his eyes rolled around funny." Kids enjoyed the simple instructions and how she would color in the drawings and they would come to life in an animated music video. They laughed at all of them but especially the dinosaur who blew bubbles in his milk.
Nicely done. Teaches kids how to draw animals using basic shapes. It's broken up well - one animal at a time. The music videos are cute and upbeat. It breaks down the drawing process into simple steps. The on-camera talent is appealing, both the host/teacher and the kids. Bright, colorful and good audio. The background music is a bit monotonous but the music videos are terrific. "This same drawing method was used to wonderful results at my son's preschool." Because the process is simplified, kids can feel competent right away.
