NOODLEBUG - "On the Move"
Fall 2004 Home VideoReview:
Aimed at the toddler set, this Noodlebug video incorporates "7 Essential
Brain-Building Activities" as it discusses modes of movement, from simple
body motions to riding trains. Through singing (in two languages), simple
animation, and performances from real kids, the activities cover everything
from sound development to an understanding of nutrition. Some segments feel
somewhat rushed; more introductions and wrap-ups for each segment would have
given kids time to catch up with what they're experiencing. Noodlebug comes
from the publishers of the classic Cricket, Babybug, and Ladybug magazines,
in which activities can be managed according to an individual child's
attention span. Parents who purchase this DVD may want to go through the
Story Selection option and watch the Parent Guide to maximize the disc's
benefits.
