Bruce Kluger, Parenting Magazine"Kidvid soars into the realm of dazzling computer animated graphics in 'Galloping Minds,' a smart and snazzy series devoted to captivating little viewers -- even as it teaches them a thing or two.
'Alphabets' (volume one) takes children on a delightful tour of their ABCs via live-action footage of zoo animals, old fashioned-cartooning, and clever computerized renditions of all 26 letters.
And 'Shapes and Colors' (volume two) brings the beauty of the rainbow to the small screen, as simple crayon renderings blossom into eye-popping pictures that will keep wee ones riveted.
Bouncy electronic music and gentle narration add just the right touch to this marvelous new addition to the universe of children's home entertainment."Caroline Howard, 'Working Mother' Magazine says
"Little minds will light up with the two newest entries into the infant DVD/video market."Alphabets" and "Shapes and Colors" by Galloping Minds."

Alphabets
The first installment in the Galloping Minds series, this video uses unique animation techniques, movement, and color in order to stimulate the brains of infants and toddlers. While appropriate for infants, the program allows for older toddlers to enhance their word/object association and spelling abilities. Over 120 separate objects are displayed and spelled out in both upper and lowercase letters. This series is designed to increase the cognitive, creative, and spatial reasoning abilities of young children.

Shapes and Colors
The second installment in the Galloping Minds series, this production uses creative animation techniques and vivid imagery in order to showcase a variety of different shapes. Appropriate for infants and young toddlers, the colors are designed to stimulate a child's visual senses as well as introduce them to both the second and third dimension. Preceded by Galloping Minds, Vol. 1: Alphabets , this DVD is encourages cognitive ability, creativity, spatial perception, and mathematical thinking early in life.

I enjoyed the newest Alphabet DVD for children and so does my 2-year old son. He points at all the different items for each letter. I tried to teach him these things all along and now that I am working, I can be confident that he will continue to get taught and my husband just needs to play the DVD.
Linda Doodnauth, a working mother of 2 year old son,The videos are bright, well documented and entertaining. My kids love them, especially 'Shapes and Colors'. I would recommend these videos as a great learning tool.

My original intentions were for the dvd's to help my 3 year old daughter with her abc's and her shapes, but her attention span is short when it comes to one on one teaching. She does really well in her preschool environment. But...my 14 month old son really enjoyed them! I personally thought that the dvd's were very helpful, and I will continue to introduce them to my 3 year old.
Mrs. Lenoare Mitchell-Mays, California , May 20, 2004Our three year old couldn't stop laughing and smiling during your Alphabets tape. The motion and special effects were particularly entertaining. We liked the opportunity to build vocabularly and exposure to spelling, set to music. The opportunity to learn 120 words while being entertained for 40 minutes should not be missed by visual learners, including those on the PDD/AST/autism spectrum.
Mom from Long Island.I really appreciated the words being shown with the pictures, as my 2 1/2 year old is starting to read words and it helps reinforce this. And the tape is nice and long, about 45 minutes, so it gives you a nice break!Jan 2005, Amy Zimmerman, Mom from Crownsville, MDI love the Galloping Minds 'Alphabets' DVD. I put the DVD in as soon as I recieved it in the mail, which was really fast shipping I might add. My son was glued to the tv and was even saying some of the words along with them. My son is 3 1/2 years old incase you were wondering. The point is I highly recommend buying the educational vhs's or dvd's from Galloping Minds, and I will be looking for more in the future as well. I give 5 stars rating.Feb 2005, Helena Hill, Mom from Easton, PA
