ABOUT:

Recognizing numbers has never been so much fun when Barney & Friends™ use songs, rhyme, dance and laughter to help little ones learn to count in Barney™: A-Counting We Will Go coming to DVD September 14, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. This special learning edition DVD comes packaged with a 64-page coloring and activity book, perfectly timed for when preschoolers head back to school and need to sharpen those counting skills!

Trusted by moms and adored by children, Barney displays sharing, caring, imagining, dancing and learning on television, online and through live events, home entertainment and publishing. The Emmy® award-winning series, Barney & Friends™ is one of the top-rated preschool shows today, airing on PBS KIDS® and Sprout®.

Two, four, six, eight, Barney wants to celebrate!  While playing a game of Hide and Seek in the park, Baby Bop realizes that she can’t be the one to count to ten because she doesn’t know how — so Barney and the kids jump right in to help her.  A trip to a make-believe market and a magical parade of numbers help to show her how exciting counting can be. While having fun, the kids learn an important lesson — you can’t go wrong when you have friends to count on!

• “Counting in the Garden” Game

MY THOUGHTS:

I thought this DVD was great for kids.  It is very basic so definitely for younger kids, I thought it was perfect for my 2 and 3 year old sons.  There is lots of counting, singing, and my favorite is when they show real kids counting with their fingers and saying the numbers.  My 3 year old definitely likes to see other kids doing stuff, so this is perfect for him to learn from.  The episodes are all about counting to ten and not much else but it is great for learning your numbers.  I also thought it was fun and the music upbeat so I can see why it caught my kids attention.  I also want to add that my boys are not big Barney fans, but they did like this, especially my 3 year old who is learning numbers in pre-school.  This DVD also comes with a mini-activity book which is a coloring book with 64 pages to color!
