First Two Episodes in the Come on Over! DVD Series Review

Come On Over is an Emmy Award-winning musical comedy for kids and families that models creative play and includes fun discussion points, scripture, prayer, and suggested family activities.

The 23-minute episodes follow Joel and his quirky friends as they play through all sorts of situations.

Joel is an artist whose art studio and backyard act as the primary setting to burst into music videos, whimsical make-believe, hands-on arts based projects and a whole range of silliness.

All the while COO! models healthy choices and family values.

Regular friends bring enthusiasm (Brandy), encouragement (Grandma Zippy), smarts (Hedge), and even skepticism (Mr. Flabbinjaw).

As needed, a range of experts “come on over” to play through dance or theatre or rock-n-roll guitar.

Anything can happen through play: mad scientists, giant tinfoil spaceships, Bubble-ologists, flying hedgehogs and more! The themes of COO! are enhanced by faith-building activities that are a part of the DVD booklet.

These materials include fun discussion points, games, and scripture that encourage families to play and pray together.

In this episode, they help a shy friend come out of her shell using faith-building exercises and song.

I try to get my kids to use their imaginations whenever possible.  I remember all the pretend things that I use to build.  I remember playing house forever, with a box!!!  Today, children play too many video games and I don't see the kind of play that I used to have when growing up.  These little episodes try to create the kind of play that I am talking about.  These are fun little DVD's with dancing and music, and creative play!  We really had a good time with these.
 
These DVD's can be purchased directly on the Zonderkidz site.
