Puppy Plays the Classics

I’ll admit it. My almost-four-year-old son watches a lot of TV. To be honest, I don’t worry about it too much. It usually reinforces what I try to teach him at home–letters, sounds, numbers and more. Although he likes to have it on, he doesn’t stare at it like a zombie. He is busy playing, but often likes to have his little TV friends around for company

Puppy Plays the Classics DVD is perfect for this kind of viewing. It’s basically a video of very cute puppies with a soundtrack of classical music. It originally aired on HBO Family. You can see and hear a clip on the Puppy Plays site.

I think that these would be great entertainment for children even younger, and the good news is that since it’s classical music, there’s nothing to annoy Mom if it’s the kind of show that they want to watch over and over again.

Would you like to win one of five copies (which can ship to the U.S. or Canada)? Leave a comment and we’ll draw the winners on May 6.

  5. I have a 3 1/2 year old who just loves those two dog commercials–the White Cloud one and the Advantix one (he sings along with that one–“there ain’t no bugs one ME!”). He would just love this DVD!

    I raised 4 sons. I teacher once asked me how I got such smart kids. I said “they watch a lot of TV.” This is what they did with their lives. The oldest graduated from the worlds finest language shcool fluent in Mandarin Chinese. The 2nd was valedictorian of his high school class and graduated magna cum laude from an Ivy League University, He became a partner the thrid year out of college. The third had such a high ACT score he got a scholarhip to a top 50 state university and is now working on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago after leading his advertising club to the finals, The last is a sophomore in high school getting straight A’s in all honors classes and had the highest PSAT test score in his private school and being chosen one of 10 of his high schools Mock Trial team for future attorneys. They also played sports, attended church, worked, had friends and girlfriends. So much for the theories on TV harming children.

  79. This sounds so different than the average DVD’s out there and we love puppies and dogs! I love to expose the kids to all types of music so I love that it has classical music on there. The association of having that music with the puppies is bound to instill an appreciation for it. It sounds like a winner all the way around!

  147. Hey Moms … We had our fifth child back last year, and I was looking for flexible ways to make some extra money while she stayed home with kids. As we turned to the internet, and started researching different ideas, she continually ran into scam and spam at every turn. As I became more involved, we realized there were money making opportunities, they just need to be uncovered and understood. While much of this has been trial and error, we started to discover what was successful and what wasn’t. At this point, it was time to document some ideas and successes, and hopefully get some feedback and suggestion from other entrepreneurs. Of course, part of this blog in itself is not only to share ideas, but hopefully gather a viewer and referral base, to have more opportunities for everyone to be successful.

    Cheers.

  200. I love it! I’ve never heard about this, or really, anything like it. I can completely see my five year old adoring it for both the music and puppies, and my little baby for the great music. I admit to a lot of tv too. I grew up with it on in the background all the time as did my husband. We try to be careful with our kids — but I love that this is just that kind of show that allows the “company” while still keeping their playfulness, imagination and all the great kid things about them thriving! Thanks so much for the contest/giveaway — and for informing me about the product!
