Copy-Kids is a
DVD series designed to get very young children excited about eating
fruits and vegetables. It features kids having
such a good time eating fruits and veggies, that when children watch it
they want to join in. Featuring
well-known pediatrician, Dr. Jay Gordon, this product is a positive
approach in the quest to get children eating healthy from the start.
The DVD is separated into different fruits and vegetables on the main menu: Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, Carrots,
Avocado, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Oranges, Bananas, Raspberries,
Strawberries, Apples & Blueberries.
From a teachers perspective this is especially made for young children. When you are introducing various food to children you should always pay attention to what age. This website, Kids Organics breaks it down into an easy chart for parents and relatives to view. It incorporates the cop-cat idea that children do, both inside and outside the classroom. As an adult I thought this was silly, but I was forced to eat my fruits and veggies when I was a little kid. I do love them, especially Garlic! When I was younger they always made fun of me and called me a Polish Baby because my Polish Grandma always had garlic in food and it seeped out of my pores. :) People still picked me up even with the smell! If they wanted to put another addition out, older children would be more interested in it if there was a catchy tune that they could sing-a-long to. I would like that as well... :)
From a parents perspective this seemed like a good fit for children. I think it helps when the child is in the copy-cat stage. It states to Age 5 on the DVD box, but older children may not like watching it. However, any young child will instantly want to join in as others have stated. I wish there was a lot of additional cartoon characters besides the little blue parrot or for it to appear more often. Another wonderful thing to include would be music or cartoon vegetable people!
Overall this is a great DVD to pop in while eating snacks, especially the fruit or vegetable that you want to introduce. We discovered Boos favorites were Peppers and Tomatoes, but being a little Italian, those were a given!
