Spending quality time with children up to 5 years old can be simple: this 35-minute Mommy & Me show features a host of enthusiastic mothers and their children in a play-group setting that includes fanciful characters like Walter the talking radio (Tim Conway), the singing Goldfish sisters, and Rosebud the talking flower (Caroline Rhea). The group revels in simple activities like singing, finger play, and dancing to the accompaniment of favorite songs like "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" and "Hokey Pokey." Interspersed between the live action are brightly animated segments like "The Wheels on the Bus," the classic story "The New Musicians of Breman," and a cloud-watching session set to Bach's Prelude 1 in C. Early-childhood specialist and Mommy and Me cofounder Dr. Cindy Nurik follows the program with details of skills and concepts that are advanced in the video and offers suggestions for further play and learning. This is a great interactive series. --Tami Horiuchi

Customer Reviews

My daughter's favourite
My sixteen month old daughter watches this time and time again. Has definitely gone the long run against Barney et al, and not nearly half as annoying (OK, except Rosebud...) Nice mix of songs, music stories and a base education. Recommended.

Target audience too wide
Love the concept of getting mom/dad and baby interacting! The age range is too broad though and needs to target one age/developmental bracket. Suggest you look at Bright Bubs instead which has age appropriate activites for each baby phase.

Don't Waste Your Money
The professional reviews on this video are good, but I was very disappointed in the video. The moms are too enthusiastic to be real, the potted plant character is incredibly annoying and the video tries to do too many things for too many age-ranges to be successful at anything. Buy a Sesame Street or Wiggles video instead!
