 Educational and EntertainingSep 27, 2007

Great value. Very entertaining. Both my 4-year old and 2-year old are enjoying this DVD. They both have watched it several times since I bought it last week.

Perfect for young quick learners and the gifted!Dec 12, 2010

While the material is dated to the VHS days of production, it has a level of creativity and interaction of the characters and concepts that is targeted for young children. I find the entire series excellent for young children. I give this series 5 stars because it entertains young kids from (2 years of age to probably 7 years of age), and they learn. Young children will laugh while watching the series. I think it is a great value for early math education, and I am glad these videos exist!
It uses a variety of puppet characters like Sesame Street, but don't expect the same level of quality as Sesame Street characters. We do find that Chef and Ducky are very entertaining. Each video subject will use different characters. The puppets interact with Shelly, who is the human instructor. She helps teach them how to use math, and she answers their questions. They discover how easy math is using visual aids, and real life objects as manipulatives such as, pizzas, milk cartons, cereal boxes, cookies, etc.
My kids are pre-K quick learners. If I had older children, I might be less impressed by this series, but still it is a very cheap investment struggling 1st-3rd graders. I do suspect if the child is having problems at their own grade level, this series could still be of some help. I can't really gaurantee it since our young children were very quick learners and they got the concepts before school. Other than this kind of learning style, one might consider something opposite such as Kumon which presents worksheets and practice exercises is a very progressive manner. Also, there is many free Internet learning sites for all math subject which I would add here, but Amazon doesn't like web links in reviews. Sorry.

 I gave this away for free after one viewingNov 30, 2009

We hated this. Not much more I can say. The animation wasn't kid friendly, the lessons were not fun, and we just wouldn't watch it again. Gave it away for free to the local library!

jessica's amazon reviewed purchase learning treehouse numbersNov 13, 2009
By Jessica Stokes
The video is extreemly outdated. I run a child care facility, and used this video in conjunction with my lessons for the day, and it did not hold the childrens attention from the first moment. I ended up purchasing the leap frog numbers dvd that worked out very well.The Learning Treehouse: Numbers
