"Learning Chinese and English Together" provides a great way to introduce young children to language. Captivating, colorful images in concert with spoken and written words engage young ones and prompt them to refine and expand their language skills. The program contains three versions: Chinese and English Together, Chinese Only and English Only. The Chinese and English Together version allows the viewer to learn each word as a translation from one language to the next. Once the meaning of each word is understood, the Chinese Only and English Only versions allow the viewer to concentrate on one language at a time. It´s an innovative approach to learning language which allows the viewer to choose the method that makes learning easiest for them. The Dove Foundation gave it their highest rating and it received the 2005 Smart Play Smart Toy Product of Excellence Award from Dr. Toy.

"Braincandy, My 5 Senses" is the first DVD in a series of six, whose content focuses on young children learning about themselves as they learn about the world. The Braincandy recipe encourages active experimentation rather than passive drills and repetition. Braincandy uses a creative combination of engaging puppet characters representing the five senses introducing the host, Bruce Brain, “real” kids engaged in captivating, sensory oriented activities, and innovative animations that show how the senses work. A variety of multi-genre, "kidified" music forms a textured backdrop that gets young children up and moving! Ideal for children ages 6 months to 4 years old, the DVD/video lays the foundation for independent thinking as well as social and emotional development. Winner of 10 toy industry awards and endorsements, including Dr Toy's "100 Best Toys for 2005" and the "Top 10 Audio/Video Products" for 2005. (Read Review)
