Let's Grow: Safety First DVD Giveaway

Ah, the magic of a DVD.  A mom can turn it on whenever she wants, play it as often as the kids like, rewind or fast forward on command, snuggle up in front of it on snowy days, or even bring it in the car when the weather gets nicer.

Now HIT Entertainment is partnering with Sprout to launch a new DVD line for preschoolers and their parents called “Let’s Grow.”  The series focuses on life skills and lessons for preschoolers. Episodes from HIT Entertainment’s library of programs including Barney™, Bob the Builder™, Thomas & Friends™ and many more will explore topics like feelings, manners and safety.  The Sunny Side Up Show hosts along with Chica the Chicken introduce the episodes, make crafts and play educational games themed to each topic.  Learn more about the DVD.

A printed Parent Resource Guide accompanies each DVD and includes additional information to inspire meaningful moments every day. Tips, discussion starters and websites tied to the DVD’s theme will help parents and kids explore important subjects together.   

The DVD is available wherever DVDs are sold.  Sprout for Parents has 10 copies of the DVD to give away. The first ten people who post an answer to our "Let's Grow" question below will win a free Let's Grow: Safety First DVD.

    My 22 month old will not get on his bike in the driveway unless he is wearing his bicycle helmet. Last week we were outside and I gave him his bike and he said no mama, hat, hat- looking for his helmet. Melissa

    We were in the parking lot today when my son wanted to get in the car while i was putting the things in the car so he looked around to make sure there were no cars and then proceeded on to go to his side and get in the car.

    Our 2 year old son knows to blow on his food before eating it if it's too how. He says "blow blow blow" and cools it down! =)

    My baby always finds trouble! Don't know how he older two made it, but this one just wants to be a big kid! The whole house is baby proofed, but just want to lock him in a padded room, he gets into everything.But today is his bd and he always looks out for his big brother, he told him to be careful when he was making toast. It is hot! We are huge sprout fans.

    I also wanted to add that my 2-yr-old always reminds my husband and I to put on our seat belts when we get into the car. He refused to ride in anything (his stroller, wagon, etc.) without a seatbelt on! :)

    Our six year old noticed there were things on our counter that our one year old could reach but shouldn't have. He moved them further back so his brother wouldn't get hurt!

    My almost 20 month old knows to buckle himself in his booster seat sitting at the kitchen table before eating. He can do it all by himself now!

    My 3 year old daughter holds my hand when she crosses the road and uses her helmet when she rides her bike. She never ever leaves my sight either.

  16. Nancy said: 6/29/2010 11:26 AM

    My son Matt and I made sure we were buckled up before driving in the car.

    This morning when we arrived at the sitters, my 21 month old was sure to remind me to look both ways while crossing the street! Got to love them!

    My one year old knows he has to hold my hand in parking lots. Right when he gets out of his carseat he puts up his hand!

    My 4 year old always asks an adult first before she pets an animal. She knows to be gentle with animals.

    My 2-yr-old son is always keeping his 11-mo-old little brother out of trouble. Telling him, "No, baby!" :)
