Go Go Animals!

From the same company that put together "Go Potty Go" (DVD about you got it...using the potty) is another DVD called The Monkeydoos - Go Go Animals! Jacob played it for her the first time this past weekend and told me all about it, so I finally got to see the show tonight. The host, Maureen has kids play along by acting like different animals in the jungle. It's a fabulous DVD and I was absolutely amazed to see how much Juliana gets into it by doing all the movements, making the sounds, acting like the frog, elephant, humming bird, tiger, etc. As a side note, I know she's got no shirt on, but oh well, she's still little :-) I didn't think I'd be taking pictures after taking off her sweaty tee-shirt from playing downstairs!!

This is her flapping her wings like a humming bird...Here she was getting ready to stomp like an elephant... The next two are the best, where she's pretending to be a frog. She hops up and down, even does the tongue thingy that the host shows to demonstrate how they eat. It's adorable to watch and now I just have to get it on video!! After dinner, she kept asking for the same DVD, so we played it once more. I forget what animal the was pretending to be in this picture, but I love how much she is concentrating on what to do!!
I would definitely suggest you get this DVD for your toddlers!! It's purpose is to get kids up and moving, developing their imagination, and so much more.

You got this DVD to Elyse for her birthday and she loves it too. She doesn't do the do the actions as she watches the video though (she is more of a "Monkey See"). She tends to do them later when we are talking about certain animals or coconuts :)The songs stick with you for awhile ;)
