My family was first introduced to LeapFrog DVDs when Wyatt was a little boy. We were given a few of their DVDs from my sister when her kids had outgrown them. They quickly became some of Wyatt’s favorites and I can’t even tell you how many times I watched the Letter Factory. Fast forward 4 years and we are back to watching LeapFrog videos with Blake, who loves them!
Lionsgate recently released The Complete Scout & Friends Collection of DVDs and they were nice enough to send Blake a copy of this set to review!
Here is a list of the DVDs, and their synopsis, which are included in this set:
Scout & Friends Phonics Farm– Join Scout and his friends as they learn letter sounds with the help of some amazing animals! Scout, Violet, Eli and Penny long to learn about new animals. When their magical toy car, Axle, whisks them away to a farm, they discover a remarkable alphabet collection and ABC antics ensue! As the friends get in shape with an athletic alligator, console a sad seal, converse with a high-pitched horse and more, they make their way through the entire alphabet!
Scout & Friends Numberland– Join Scout and his friends for exciting learning adventures from the world of LeapFrog. When the pets long to learn about numbers, their magical car, Axle, whisks them away to Numberland. With the help of a new friend, Max, the pets meet all the numbers in the land and master early numeracy skills. Then it’s time to help the residents of Numberland plan a surprise birthday party for Max. It all adds up to plenty of fun and adventure as you sing and count your way through Numberland with Scout & Friends!
Scout & Friends The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words– Meet Scout and his friends, Violet, Eli, and Penny…best friends who have all kind of learning adventures along with their magical toy car, Axle. The friends are engaged in a hot game of “In other Words…” when they learn that the new Museum of Opposite Words is opening in their town today! Intrigued as to what opposite words might be, they hurry off to the museum. At the museum they find The Beaver Brothers struggling to get the exhibits completed in time for the Opening Night Gala and and the museum curator, Mr Polecat in full panic mode. Together the friends use vocabulary skills to unlock the clues and help the Beaver Brothers complete all of the exhibits in the nick of time!
Scout & Friends Adventures in Shapeville Park– Scout & Friends head over to Shapeville in this delightful skill-building adventure that shows what a circle, square and triangle can really do! A new playground is being built at the park by the Beaver Brothers and soon the pets have their hands full helping with the construction. With the guidance of “measuring” mice, the pets lear n how to measure out all the various shapes, sizes, and dimensions needed to build the perfect parts of a perfect playground!
Blake had already seen Numberland and Phonics Farm, which he has watched both multiple times and Numberland is one of this favorites. He was super excited to check out The Magnificent Museum of Opposite Words and it did not disappoint! I recommend these videos to anyone with kids ages 3 and up. The songs are catchy and Blake really learns from watching them.
