    DVD Review: “John Deere Fun on the Farm” (& Giveaway Ends 2/15)

    John Deere Fun on the Farm

    Released: February 8, 2011

    Studio: TM Books & Video

    Running Time: 30 minutes

    ABOUT:

    TM’s new Fun on the Farm takes you on a fascinating trip where you learn how farmers grow their crops, what kinds of animals live on a farm, and where the food in the produce aisle comes from. This latest DVD from TM Books & Video will arrive in stores on February 8, 2011.

    The 30-minute Fun on the Farm is an engaging foray into the growing cycle. It starts in the spring with planting, then the fields are cultivated, and finally, in the fall, when the leaves change to beautiful shades of red and gold, the farmers harvest their crops using a combine.

    Host Doodle Rooster and his friends Bell Cow and Harvey Horse take turns introducing young viewers to the marvels of big farm machines all set to a delightful soundtrack of singer/songwriter James Coffey.

    Take a trip to the “Farm in the Zoo,” a big attraction at Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo that teaches city kids about farm life. Then travel to the John Deere Harvester Works in East Moline, IL to see how John Deere makes their combines. Learn about tractors, cultivators, combines, plows, balers and more.  Take a laugh-filled trip to the Wacky Farm and lend a hand and work the land as you explore the many chores kids do on a farm.

    Along with games like “Name the Letter” and “The Cloud Game” (finding clouds that look like animals), your little farming enthusiasts are sure to cultivate new seeds of knowledge and have a great time exploring the many facets of life on the farm.

    MY THOUGHTS:

    My boys are in a John Deere phase right now and with spring just around the corner I thought this would be a great DVD to reintroduce my boys to animals, since we usually go to the zoo a lot in the summer.  The DVD focus is animals on the farm and uses both animation and real life animals and machines.  It shows animals on the farm and basically how a farm looks and works.  It was really exciting to see the Lincoln Park Zoo exhibit on the DVD since we usually visit that zoo!  I would say it is a great DVD for both boys and girls and it doesn’t matter if they don’t care for John Deere machines. It is a quick 30-minute DVD that if I let them, my boys would watch this DVD over and over again! 

    BUY IT: Fun on the Farm is recommended for ages two to five and will be available for a suggested retail price of $14.99.  To order, call toll free 1-800-892-2822 or visit www.tmbv.com.  You can also buy “John Deere Fun on the Farm” wherever DVDs are sold or check it out on Amazon.

      My son likes the dog best (does that count as a farm animal?) – he also like singing “Old MacDonald” with the cow.
