CLOSED: Stocking Stuffer DVDs for Preschoolers (+Christmas Carnival Giveaway #3)- 4 winners

This post is a 'Christmas Carnival' feature...The Carnival of Giveaways (or should I say Christmas prezzies?) on Energizer Bunny's Mommy Reports from November 1- December 5 2010.

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

I love giving children DVD prezzies that are entertaining, musical and educational...all rolled into one.
The below featured Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production releases will make great stocking stuffers.
(The Barney 6 DVD pack, though, would be more of a Christmas prezzie unless you share the DVDs among 3 stockings or maybe even 6!)


Waltz into a land of sugar and spice with Angelina Ballerina in fresh new CG animation with Angelina Ballerina: The Nutcracker Sweet! Angelina is excited to perform the Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy in the holiday showcase, but her sweet tooth may lead her to trouble. When too many candy canes and Mom’s fabulous fruitcake give her a tummy ache, Angelina learns that sharing with friends is a lot more rewarding.

Bunny girl loves Angelina and she hasn't watched this one yet (Yes stocking stuffer!) but I do know this 61 minute, 5 episode DVD will have her don her tutu and pretend dance shoes in no time. Not only is this a nice festive entertainer but it's also a great way to encourage young viewers that it's important not to over-gorge on the Christmas goodies!


Next stop, Winter Wonderland! Join Thomas and his friends in Merry Winter Wish as they celebrate the holidays in four exciting episodes. Thomas has a special delivery for the season - the Star of Knapford, a festive light that makes wishes come true! The children are excited for the Snowman Party in the Town Square but it’s up to Thomas to find the snowman a special hat before the party can begin. Watch Bash, Dash and Ferdinand prepare for the first ever Misty Island Christmas party. Then Henry helps Sir Topham Hatt prepare a secret holiday surprise for all of Sodor.

Thomas fans will be excited to see Thomas and his buddies again. Personally I think my favorite so far has been Misty Island Rescue but this is a nice DVD to pop into the player for short intervals and yes, your little ones will learn the importance of working as a team and helping out.



‘Tis the season for holiday cheer in Jolly Holiday! Ride through a winter wonderland with Thomas on a special Christmas tree delivery. Join Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew as they build a sleigh of their own to make it to the school Christmas Carol Concert in time. See Fireman Sam and his friends get into the holiday spirit with the most exciting Christmas lights display. Finally, enjoy the snow fall with Barney as he teaches Baby Bop that winter is a wonderful time for fun even when it’s cold outside.

This is a fun filled Christmas DVD for preschoolers featuring the favorites-Thomas & his friends, Bob the Builder, Fireman Sam, Barney & the gang and a bonus feature with the darling little mouseling Angelina Ballerina.


Finally, the crowning pack...


In Barney's Learning Pack 6 DVD Set, celebrate the gift of learning with Barney. This jam-packed 6 DVD compilation contains educational episodes focusing on colors, counting, nursery rhymes and learning the alphabet. The Set includes these DVDs:
* It’s Time for Counting
* Numbers! Numbers!
* Now I Know My ABCs
* Rhyme Time Rhythm
* Let’s Play School!
* Red, Yellow & Blue

A compilation of 269 minutes of learning and fun with Barney and his buddies....what could be better? This is the perfect pack especially for 2-4 year olds and a great way to introduce soon to be preschoolers to a few elementary lessons they'd be taught in school. I love the way each episode comes to life with a great collection of songs. I can vouch for the fact that Bunny girl has an extensive knowledge of many popular kids songs thanks to Barney.
Each DVD in this collection gets my 'Mommy Thumbs Up'. Way to go Barney!

CLOSED: Angelina Loves to Dance and Thomas' Misty Island Rescue (+ Dvd Giveaways)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

She's back!...Twirling and pirouetting in a pretty pink tutu while wearing a prominent pink bow on her head is Angelina in her very first CG animated dvd- Angelina Ballerina: Love to Dance.

Now Bunny girl has found a new love for all things ballet, so when it was time to watch the dvd, she decided to don her pink tutu and wear the Angelina Mouse Ears hairband she was sent. Once she was 'appropriately' dressed she settled down to watch the 8 year old mouseling


The dvd features varying dance styles, new friends, music and more in these five episodes:

• Angelina's new school
• Angelina's dance partner
• Angelina's oldest friend
• Angelina's sleepover and
  
• Angelina and the Hip-Hop kid.
  

I've always enjoyed watching Angelina especially as her little stories have a 'take home' moral for my little ballerina. This dvd is no exception. Different little life lessons we picked up from the same include the importance of accepting another person's differences, adapting to new situations, making the right decisions and being a good friend.

This August 31 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 62 minutes and also includes 3 bonus features-2 Angelina Music Videos and 1 Interactive Game.


Another dvd (+ blu-ray combo pack) that is featured on practically every kids channel I switch to is the latest Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue


This CG animated action packed adventure begins with Thomas and his friends helping build the Search and Rescue Center. All seems to go well till a fellow engine needs help and Thomas steps in. What follows is a special reward that results in Thomas getting lost and landing up in Misty Island. While there, Thomas finds new friends- Bash, Dash and Ferdinand who eventually help him return to Sodor.

This is defintiely another 'Thomas' visual treat for both big and little engine lovers.

This September 7 2010 release from Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production has an approximate run time of 58 minutes and also includes 3 bonus features-The Search for Thomas' Game and 2 Thomas Karaoke Music Videos


(Thanks to Andrea Blain Public Relations we received these dvds to preview.)

CLOSED: Thomas the Tank Engine's here for the Tots! (+Giveaway)

* Click here to view the name(s) of the winner(s)*

When we found out we were having Bunny Boo, I remember thinking "Wow! So now we'll have a little Thomas and friends fan in our home!" Strangely I could only think of Thomas at that moment! Thus, it seemed fitting to learn a few weeks ago that I would have to review something really special for Bunny Boo....his very first mini train set and mind you, not just any train set but a Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Station Set!

I know, like me, many of you think Thomas toys are only for kids who are 3 years+ but guess what? That was before Learning Curve introduced the Early Engineers line just for our Tots aged 18 months +.

*(Click on this link to view a demo of the Early Engineers line)*

Bunny Boo did get to see his first mini train set and though he won't get to play with it for a while, his big sister did help test it out for him!


The Thomas Wooden Railway Early Engineers Roundabout Station Set is just as solid as all the other great wooden Thomas toys but with just one difference....size!

Take Thomas for instance, he has been crafted a few sizes bigger than the regular sized engines, making him easy for a toddler to hold and move around the tracks.


The tracks are easy to assemble and can be fitted onto a regular sized Thomas Wooden train set tracks too. (So these will never go to waste when your little one grows older.)

The Roundabout Station Set includes Maithwaite station, a crossing gate, spinning cargo and a tree that are easy to put into the vacant spots on the set and just as easy to remove.


(It may have been a good idea to have the accessories stay in position stronger as they tend to get knocked over if the child has Thomas zooming around the tracks.)

The set measures 16" x 3.75" x 15" and weighs approximately 3.3 lbs.


If you add the Rock and Roll Quarry set to this set, I personally feel your Tot will spend more time engaged with Thomas.
Even if you don't this will still be fun for the younger kids as well as the older kids!
(Bunny girl actually spent a good time playing with the set {surprising me!} after adding one of her little Christmas Engines to the story she was cooking up with 'Chunky Thomas'!)

CLOSED: 3 Preschooler DVD Faves- Bob, Thomas and Barney! (R&G)

What a fun way to start the New Year...with 3 fun Preschooler releases featuring Bob the Builder, Thomas & Friends and our favorite purple dino Barney!

All thanks to Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production, the releases will be scheduled to hit the market this forthcoming week ...and yes, you get to read all about the three dvds even before their release dates!


The Best of Bob The Builder

A ten episode Bob-travaganza like no other, your Bob the builder fan will have his fill of Bob, Dizzy, Scoop, Roley and the rest of the gang! Your little one will also get to see a never before screened 30 minute 'Trains' episode and that's not all.....he/she will not just get to see it all in the 'Bob-toon' version but also get to see a few real-life 'Chugga -Chuggas' in motion! Additional features on the dvd include three online games.

We're not big 'Bob' fans but this 10 year 'Bob the Builder' commemorative dvd is definitely one that will entertain even the half-hearted 'little builder' at home!

The original retail price for The Best of Bob the Builder dvd is 14.98 US$ but you can buy this off Amazon at a slightly reduced price of 13.99 US$


Thomas & Friends: Splish, Splash, Splosh!

Rain or snow, little engines rock and roll! That's right!! A little rain never hurt Thomas and his pals and in this new four episode dvd, Thomas proves that you can always have excitement even if the weather's not sunny and warm. This dvd has a new introduction....and we thought the new engines faces would stop with the Hero of the Rails....with Charlie and Driver Perkins.
I have two good friends who have kids that love Thomas and I'm sure they'll be waiting to watch this latest Thomas release complete with it's additional interactive game features.

The original retail price for Thomas & Friends: Splish, Splash, Splosh! is 14.98 US$ but you can buy this off Amazon at a reduced price of 9.99 US$


Barney: Please & Thank You

Oh yes, I just had to leave our favorite for last! This is such a sweet way to teach your Preschooler the importance of saying those 'magic words'. Bunny girl and I quickly exchanged glances each time a 'Please' or a 'Thank you' was encouraged.....our secret communication to affirm that Baby Bop too needed to learn the importance of saying the important 'P' and 'TQ!' There were the usual familiar songs that were sung but two of the main themed ones were new for us- 'Good manners' and 'Being Together'.

This dvd also features 2 interactive Baby Bop games.

The original retail price for Barney: Please & Thank You is 14.98 US$ but you can buy this off Amazon at a reduced price of 10.99 US$


(Thanks to Andrea Blain Public Relations we received these 3 dvds to preview.)
