Leapfrog: Adventures in Shapeville Park

Pretty Good But Very Basic
Good video for teaching basic shapes to toddlers and preschoolers. Introduces the handicapped dog Dash and "Beaver Brothers" (construction workers who help the other animals solve problems.) Leapfrog always has a way of teaching children multiple lessons at once. The key lessons here, other than shapes of course, are equality and including all of our friends when playing.

More shapes please
It is an ok video but really it should focus more on the shapes! This video is trying to teach too many things at once. Could be better

Very fun video
My 21 month old daughter loves this movie. It's colorful, fun, and educational. She haves fun listening to songs and watching the characters interact with each other and the environment. I would recommend this product to parents. I kids are going to watch TV they might as well be learning too.
