Braincandy - My 5 Senses

Director: Sam Reich-Dagnen, Johnny Dagnen
Studio: TH!NK Film
Product Type: DVD

Description

The Most Award-Winning Children's DVD of 2005! Drills and repetition may teach children a few facts about the ABC's and 123's but they don't take into account the benefits of "active" learning. Braincandy provides a platform for young children to connect the dots on their own, to teach them how to learn, not what to learn, in turn strengthening their independent, critical thinking skills.

This DVD holds her attention - truly a "must have"!.......2006-09-30

This is unmistakably my 15 month old's favorite DVD! Unlike other DVDs (we use those to induce naptime) or cartoons, it holds her attention and keeps her engaged. She claps when she sees the clapping, points/says "nose" when she sees the kids pointing to their nose, and dances around to the music, etc. We travel extensively and this is a "must have" when I pack. Some kids have a favorite stuffed animal - mine loves Bruce Brain! My mommy friends are amazed (and entertained!) how my child reacts when I pop in the DVD. The music is catchy - it won't drive an adult nuts. I highly recommend this product.

SCARY PUPPETS!.......2006-07-14

I just received this DVD and popped it in for my 2.5 year old son. He started screaming, "NO SPIDER" 'NO SPIDER"! He was referring to the giant hand with hair that looks like a spider. I have never seen him react to anything in this way before. He was absolutely terrified. Obviously, not every child will have this reaction, but I thought I would let you all know. It's really too bad because I had been looking forward to watching this DVD with him.

Great product for toddlers.......2006-05-31

We received this DVD as a gift and our kids just love it. They crack up and laugh out loud at some of the funny antics of the puppets, they actually get up and dance when kids are dancing on screen and they request it repeatedly - it's definitely a hit in our home. And I like that it makes our kids think about the sense in a very sub-conscious way - they ask me all the time now about how things taste, or how sounds sound and just are questioning more of the world around them.

my 3 year old loves it!.......2006-04-20

and it is the only dvd I can stand to watch over and over with her. we love the music and the cool puppets.

Rave about Braincandy..........2006-04-18

We absolutely love Braincandy and so does our son. He laughs & giggles every time we watch it. He's learned about his senses and had fun along the way. It's also become an automatic gift for friends having babies. It's so hard to find things for kids to watch these days that isn't violent and full of things that make you wonder what they are really taking away. We're just waiting for more in the series... coming soon we hope!
