What do you think of these? I ordered a Purim one for my kids and it was just puppets talking about purim using voices that are difficult to understand. I was hoping for props, costumes, purim music, etc. Am I asking too much? My daughter said she liked it enough, but hasn't asked to watch it again.

I hope they are worth it. I just ordered 4 from kinderclassics, if its called that. I heard they were sweet and appropriate from someone I respected in my community, so I took the plunge. I need videos, besides Uncle Moishy which is why I decided on those. I like uncle Pinchy, thats cute. Agent Emes are nice but to loan cause my daughter says she cant see them over and over.

Yeah they are aweful, I got the one for channukka, my son didn't know better and I guess kind of liked it, he was about 17 months though. LOL yeash you're daughter probably didn't love it either.

my kids will watch it but I think it is, well lets put it this way, 613 torah ave, and any music video would be given preference.

I find the punchkees deathly annoying, but my kids like it. but even my 3 yr old asked to keep it low(thier voices can burn a hole in your brain...)

Punchkees are so annoying. Th voices are so put on & not natural, but for some reason, my kids like them. We hid them from our kids!

I agree with the others. I have 3 of their DVDs (all gifts), and I find them all annoying. however my kids love it.
BTW, does anyone have episode 2? (chanukah/vayishlach) The DVD seems to be messed up (switches to hebrew for a couple of seconds, and there is no Vayishlach on it) I was wondering if I got the bad one or are they all like that. I would return it to the store the person bought it at, but I do not live in the same city.

Yes, that is the only one I have, you aren't missing anything, it's really stupid, no props just a story, and a really anoying song they always sing, not overly professional!

the only thing daughter likes is the theme song. she wanders off during the story telling.

It's the worst video I've ever seen. I don't even understand the lyrics to the song?? I wouldn't even recommend it for a newborn.

My 5 month old baby loves the Little People videos. I know theyre not Jewish themed but theyre just about season and numbers etc., and theyre very colorful and fun. My nieces and nephews love them too (ages 2-6)
