My son has difficulty with flashcard memorization. This video was used by his sisters in the classroom and they loved it so much I purchased it for my son. I am pleased to say he is finally learning multiplication and enjoys watching the video. I highly recommend this product.

Schoolhouse Rock! - Grammar Rock

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie, Christine Langner, Sue Manchester, Mary Sue Berry
directed by: Tom Warburton

August 05, 1997
I grew up in the 70's and 80's watching School House Rock. My favorites have always been "Interjection," "Lolly Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here," "Unpack Your Adjectives." Today, I teach College Prep Writing at a community college, and I introduce my students to the parts of speech with this video. And when I do, I always hear the comments from the back of the room, "Oh my God, she's even singing along." These songs work wonders even for adults. Later on, when we get more in depth, all I have to say is "Lolly Lolly" and students start singing themselves.

Schoolhouse Rock! - America Rock

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational

No, the School House Rock segments are not all correct, nor are they right on the money, when it comes to History. But, you have to realize, they were never meant to be. Our text books in school are not 100% accurate either. SHR was never meant to be 100% accurate. It was created to make kids think, and present the material in a way where it would be fun. Yes, alot is left out, but alot more is in there also. Im am so sick of people trying to be so POLITICALLY CORRECT these days. GET OVER IT, and just accept School House Rock for what it is. A teaching tool, aimed at kids, watching Saturday morning cartoons. GEEESH. Get over it everybody.

Schoolhouse Rock! - Science Rock

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie, Christine Langner, Sue Manchester, Mary Sue Berry
directed by: Tom Warburton

August 05, 1997
It taught me about science in a different way from the way people normally learn about science. I liked it because it's got some funny parts. Lots of times people learn science by seeing and having someone explain things to them. But this is different. For example, Telegraph Line uses a mailman delivering messages from the brain, which people don't usually see. This makes learning fun.

It's Potty Time

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Gareth Thomas, Sally Knyvette, Paul Darrow, Jan Chappell, Michael Keating
directed by: George Spenton-Foster

February 08, 1991
I think this VHS was actually detrimental to my grandson's potty training. The only use he saw for a potty chair like his was a toy bear; all the children in the tape used the big potty and were 4+ it looked like. So, back at square one where he thinks his potty chair is a toy. This VHS might be ok for bigger kids, but even then I would like to see a little less extaneous material, ie, party footage, etc.

I highly recommend this video! I bought it less than a month ago and my toddler loves it. After watching the video a few times, he learned all of the sounds of the letters.

Schoolhouse Rock! - Money Rock

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Bob Dorough, Blossom Dearie, Christine Langner, Sue Manchester, Mary Sue Berry
directed by: Tom Warburton

August 25, 1998
This is a great video for teaching kids about money. I used to watch Schoolhouse Rock on Saturday mornings. I now have the opportunity to pass it on to my son. He has learned principals from this video that he will never forget. It is very educational and assists him in learning while not being taught in a long drawn out boring way. I would recommend this to anyone who needs help laying a foundation to build upon for their family for a long time.

My children love this video. It is an excellent workout for both kids and adults. The kids learned about this at school and begged me to buy it for home. It was a great investment.

Living Yoga - Power Stamina Yoga for Beginners

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Rodney Yee

February 06, 2001
When I first began yoga, this tape quickly become my favorite after familiarizing myself w/ basic poses (using Yoga Conditioning for Weight Loss). I would recommend this to someone who has learned the basics and is looking for something a little more challenging.
Rodney Yee is practicing on a beach, in Hawaii. The majority of this workout conisists of Sun Salutations w/ lunges and Warrior poses. There are a few seated or lying down moves and a nice 5 min. cooldown at the end. Total workout time: 20 min.
All in all, this is a great tape to have if you are a beginner who is ready to move on OR as a standby for the more advanced practitioner as its a nice quick, feel good workout.

Power Flexibility Yoga for Beginners with Rodney Yee (Living Yoga)

Childrens Toy Shop > VHS > Educational
starring: Rodney Yee
directed by: Ted Landon

February 06, 2001
As a beginner to yoga, I was very surprised to see the fast pace of this workout. You barely get into position before Rodney jumps (literally) to a different one. He does not explain or talk you through most of this workout. It is very repetitious with lots and lots of upward and downward dogs and forward bends. I was disappointed with this video, as compared to Yoga for Athletes which sounds very, very daunting but has three levels of demonstration and Rodney slowly moves through the sessions and explains everything thoroughly. If this Power Yoga were the first one I had done, I would not have bought another.
