Award-winning entertainment on DVD

Nursery Tap, Hip to Toe ($21.95 DVD & CD) is an innovative new DVD bringing classic nursery rhymes and songs to life through dance. Shot from the waist down, a toddler's perspective, this DVD combines different forms of dance to entertain and amuse children and adults alike. The creator of Nursery Tap, Juleen Murray Shaw, is from Gig Harbor, where she lives with her family. Shaw has an eight-year-old daughter who inspired her to create the DVD. Winner of several awards, including iParenting Media Best Products 2005, Dove Foundation, KIDS FIRST!, and a Peabody Award, Nursery Tap is an excellent way to while away a rainy spell with your toddler or preschool-age child. Unlike many other DVDs aimed at the younger set, this one bears repeat viewings. The DVD set includes a CD with the same nursery rhymes as the DVD, so you can enjoy the rhythms and rhymes away from the television set as well.

Zen Baby ($14.99 DVD) is another DVD able to withstand numerous viewings by children and adults alike. Winner of a 2004 iParenting Media Award, Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products of 2004, and recipient of a Seal of Approval from The National Parenting Center's and The Dove Foundation, Zen Baby brings peace and harmony to a genre that tends to be bombarded with noise and chaos. Soothing music combined with video footage of children playing in a natural environment inspires you and your child to take the time to look at the world around you every day. Following a baby's whole day from waking to sleeping, this DVD can be a calming influence on those days when you and your toddler need a little Zen in your lives.
