Cedarmont Platinum Bible Collection

I've listened to so many Christian kid's songs, these are still the best! The videos are fun, kid's love them.

We bought these for our granddaughter for her first birthday. She enjoyed them then, but loves them much more now, at 18 months, than she did then. Anytime she is grumpy, we can put a Cedarmont DVD on and it cheers her right up, and makes her happy, and that's what's important to us. She and my daughter (her Mom) no live with us while Daddy is in Afghanistan. Many an evening these DVD's buy us enough time to get dinner ready, whereas without them, she would be "OVER THE EDGE" (and I think most Moms and Grandmas know exactly what I mean). Her favorite song is "If You're Happy and You Know It Say Amen....Clap Your Hands....Stamp your Feet...." She makes us sing it OFTEN when the DVD isn't on. She isn't talking much yet, but when she wants us to sing it, she comes up and stands right in front of us, points one foot and stamps it over and over. We know what to do!!!!! Anytime she thinks we're not as happy as WE should be, she will require us to sing this song!!! And I have to say, it works! I'm not sure if that song is on one of the DVD's in this collection, or on an individual Cedarmont DVD we bought separately (also from Amazon) because we just have a hundred CD's and DVD's loaded into our player and we just pick the number of what we want to play, so I'm not sure which ones came in this set and which were separate.Grandma, Granddad, Mom, Dad.....none of find these songs obnoxious to listen to, even after they've been on for a while. We can't say that about a LOT of other CD's and DVD's.We do wish they did more of the hand motions that go along with the songs, the hand motions I used to teach the little ones in Children's Church 30 years ago!!!! But they keep our granddaughter's rapt attention nonetheless, so if she's happy.....we're happy.

My daughter loves these DVDs. Yes the "action" songs DVD isn't a mini gym class, but that's not what I bought it for. My 3 year old learned lots of good Bible songs & I can actually stand to listen to them, unlike most children's singing productions that are high, screetchy, & untrained.There are clearly 2 groups of kids, the ones that have musical training & sing the songs in the studio and the ones that are there to be cute in the video. There is a little bit of mismatch between the audio & video sometimes, but no little kid watching is really going to notice or care. Some of the outfits are a bit out of date, but it just makes it more interesting to watch. The video scene isn't always very relevant, but again makes it interesting to watch.

There are several comments about the Cedarmont Kids videos being cheesy and out of date and yes, they are a little cheesy and out of date. But, guess what? The videos are not for adults, but for toddlers and young children. One of the reasons I bought this DVD series is because the entertainment is geared towards the children. Too many TV shows on TV are geared to catch the parents' eyes and then have them show it to their children. I also chose Cedarmont Kids over other children videos b/c it had real children instead of cartoons. Although the children are on the TV screen I feel that it engages her more than a cartoon would. My daughter is only two years old and already knows all the lyrics and copies all of the dance moves. The price is also so affordable!

The first time I put in the Bible Songs DVD, my 12 month old son went from cranky and crying to completely captivated. Then about 5-10 minutes later, he was sound asleep. I thought the fact that it was something new to him was the reason he responded so well to it. But every time I put in one of the discs from this set, he stops whatever he was doing and stares.And yes...the dvd's are SUPER cheesy...BUT WHO CARES?! My sister and I can't help but laugh at the outfits (I'm an 80's child so I feel their pain!) but apparently my son could care less about the dated choreography and wardrobe. He just loves the music and singing. The children really do have beautiful voices. I'm guessing that's why this DVD is such a hit.

I think it may depend how early you introduce these DVDs to your kids as far as how well they will like them. We bought this for our daughter at 13 months and she thoroughly enjoys watching the kids singing the songs. She loves to clap/dance as she watches. The music is very pleasant and easy to listen to.Update: My daughter is now 3 1/2 and I now have a son who is almost 2. They both still enjoy these Cedarmont DVDs. We have added more to our collection and there is not one DVD preferred over the others. All we have seen have been done well and are very interesting to my kids. We also gave some of the DVDs to my niece (4 yrs) and she loves them as well.

My 19 month old son likes this DVD collection. However, he only likes the fast songs. The collection is very thorough and has a lot of good songs on it that we want for him to know and he will eventually hear again in Sunday School. However, the look of the kids should be updated. But, this doesn't take away from wholesomeness of the songs and the quality of the product.

I found these videos on YouTube, and my two-year-old daughter loved them so much, I decided to purchase the set. "Sunday School songs" is what she requests instead of Daniel Tiger these days, which I love! She is always singing these songs around the house now, which is exactly the kind of thing that I want to be filling her head! Although outdated, I think that these are sweet videos. I like the fact that there are real children singing the songs. As a music lover myself, I appreciate that the songs themselves are very well recorded and sound very nice. I don't mind hearing them each day! We are definitely getting good use out of these!
