Description:
Targeted at babies ages 12-36 months, CURIOUS BUDDIES: HELPING AT HOME features live action babies and their caretakers are shown talking, playing and helping each other with typical household chores, such as laundry, cleaning and even cooking all while dancing, clapping, laughing and having a great time.
Amazon.com:
When children help around the house, it fosters confidence, resourcefulness, and independence--the theme of this 30-minute Nick Jr. Baby program. Music and narration accompany live-action footage of youngsters engaged in worthy tasks, while a handful of pastel-colored animal puppets cheer them on. Short vignettes, appropriate for the brief attention span of wee ones, depict familiar home responsibilities. In one, a girl puts away her toys; in another, a boy washes fruit for a salad. Kids wash the car, sweep the floor, bring in the newspaper, and set the table--visibly satisfied with their accomplishments. Rather than providing instructional detail on various chores, the film's goal is to empower kids to try their hand around the house, and remind parents to let them do so. Animated games enhance a child's skills in matching, sorting, and sequencing; and the curious buddies--an elephant, cat, and so forth--will keep everyone giggling. (Ages 2 to 4) --Lynn Gibson

My 21 month old daughter loves this movie. She watches it a lot. She just started watching TV/Movies. I like the lessons it teaches. I agree, it's for the younger kids, but my 5 yr old boy actually watches parts of it with her sometimes. I want him to learn from it, since he doesn't like to help out, so it's great!

The front and back covers of the DVD case show kids/puppets with laundry, yet the DVD does not have a laundry segment. The scenes that are shown are good: cleaning room, giving baby brother a bath, making fruit salad in kitchen, reading little sister a book, washing dog...; BUT, since my house resembles a small laundry factory, I was hoping my toddler would get a glimpse of children helping with the entire laundry process. There is a short clip of a child carrying a laundry basket, but it's not an extended viewing of the laundry chore. There is a TERRIBLE segment with the Buddies puppets taking a bath. Yawn - it's approximately 5 minutes long (seems like an eternity); and I wonder what the point is - it's not funny, it's not educational. In fact, my 2 year old always whines during the segment. There is a boring animated sock matching exercise - match red sock with red sock, etc. Overall, the DVD is good if your toddler has grown out of Baby Einstein. The writers/directors of this DVD got close...but fell short of being great...I give it a "good" rating.

The DVD itself isn't that funny or entertaining for an adult, but just wait until it's over. For the next hour or so, your toddler will be so sugary and accommodating, you'll be happy when it wears off and you have your usual howler-monkey back. It makes you appreciate your rude little cave-babies while possibly imparting some lasting lessons about manners and cleaning up toys to them. The puppets are of the same ilk as those on Jack's Big Music Show (same production company), but the writing, voicework and music are not. This will not entertain anyone older than five. It shouldn't have to, but with Jack, that's a bonus.

This was upbeat and fun for my 18 month old. She really liked it, but seemed to lose interest before the end. I've been letting her watch it during quiet time in the afternoon recently and now she watches the entire video and asks to watch it again. I've grown to like it more now than I did when I first previewed it and it's a bonus that she also seems more interested in it now too!

I was interested in buying the series because my daughter was dancing to a commercial but once i purchased the dvd, my daughter wasn't too attntive to it. Her interest lasted no more than a week, so it was a waste of money.
