Busy Beavers Kindyland Presents ABCs and 1-2-3s

I'm a stay at home mom and we don't plan to put our son in preschool until the year before kindergarten. We want to ensure he is still on track so we have school hour twice a day so for a two year old he is a bit advance for some his age. However he would not consistently say his alphabet these short catchy songs helped him get the rhythm and he saying daily and that was only after a week of watching. Also great when your cooking and need them planted for a while.Additionally I noticed people were annoyed by the fact that the DVD doesn't continuously play the video. My fix to that was to push repeat all on my DVD player. Then the player will ensure the DVD keeps playing without you having to continuously press play.

I absolutely LOVE Busy Beavers! My 2 year old daughter has something called a Sensory Processing Disorder, which is somewhere on the autism spectrum. She is very smart, but learns a little differently than other kids. The Busy Beavers dvd's have bright colors, fun songs & chants, which help hold her attention, & the repetition helps make everything she's learning stick. These programs have achieved more in the few months she's watched them, than the last year I've been trying to work with her. Yes, you can watch them for free on Youtube, but I strongly believe the constant Ads interfere with the learning process. Sometimes, she gets so agitated when an Ad pops up, I can't get her to watch the rest of the lessons. So yes, I bought the dvd's & I'm so happy with her progress, I could cry!

Our toddler has fallen in love with these learning videos... I mean, he has a craving for knowledge & will stop whatever he's doing (& special request daily) to watch Shapes, ABC's, etc. Much to my dismay, I can't stand them haha, but there's just something about the colors, slowness & the way the videos are made... We feel these really helps reinforce what we're already teaching him! He's already singing his ABC's to the end, spells words just looking at the letters, counts past 10, finishing simple sentences & on track with many 3 year olds in the basics, & he's only 2 yrs, 2 mo. old! We think these videos are an important component to his advancement... Even when I want to claw my eyes/ears out (no disrespect, Busy Beavers, you're definitely doing a great job!)

This item is good in terms of the video contents. However, I bought this (together with "Colors and shapes" and more) so that while I am listening to music or radio in car while driving, my children can be watching the DVD and listening through their headset but I had a horrible experience. I ignored previous reviews with the hope and anticipation that the manufacturers have made the product better but boy was i wrong!?The DVD will play a scene or so and stop. I have to keep pressing play for the next scene or chapter which 1, defeats the purpose of me listening to something else and 2, what even makes it worse is that sometimes when I hit the "next chapter" button, it goes right back to the beginning of the chapter that just ended. You would think that it will be better at home with a regular DVD or bluray play but that is not the case. You still have to keep pressing "next/play next" at the end of every chapter. REALLY FRUSTRATING. If you ask me, I wuld say don't buy this product unless you have the patience and time to keep pressing.

You are not able to choose what you want to watch and you have to go back after each lesson and press play. It does not save time for a mother whom is just trying to run to throw a load of clothes in the washer, wash dishes or even cook. I found the link on you-tube and hoped it would play all the songs without stopping. I may as well continue to let him use my laptop to watch Busy Beavers. I was very disappointed and wish it was better. Please fix the problem so we may support you more.

my son really likes the busy beaver videos, his favorite (the baby beavers jumping on piano ABCS) video is different on this dvd though, kinda disappointed as that video was the reason i purchased this dvd but still great for teaching ABCS and 123s

great video for toddlers. Took a while to figure out how to play it continuous but now that I did I like it a lot better.

The two year old twins LOVE this DVD and all things busy beavers! The way they teach through song and all the different ways of letters, words and numbers is awesome. It really keeps their attention which is saying something because one of them doesn't care for tv; she is more content reading books or playing in her room. I highly recommend this DVD and all busy beavers collection!! Great learning materials!!
