Exclaim Entertainment recently sent DaLynn some of their fantastic BOZ the Bear dvd's for the purpose of review. What a fun little series this is! Having never heard of BOZ before, we were intrigued and excited to find such a fun new friend. I think we've found our new favorite character for the preschool kids!
I'll tell you what I love about BOZ the Bear: my little twiggles, who doesn't like preschool stuff, LOVES BOZ! Normally when I put on preschool stuff Twiggles watches a few moments, and then decides that drawing or building with blocks is better than the program. Well, that's just not so with BOZ, and so I'm so happy to be partnering with For The Display of His Splendor to bring you this amazing giveaway!
BOZ the Bear is a Christian kids dvd series aimed mostly at preschoolers, with videos on shapes, numbers, colors, and more. BOZ lives in the backyard treehouse of a wonderful family. Drew and Gracie, Mom and Dad Baxter, and Grammie and Grampie B are a kind and likable family. I'm thrilled to see traditional values highlighted and a kids series that takes education and braids it with faith in Jesus Christ unashamedly.
That's just what this series does. Think big purple dinosaur here; in fact, one of the creators of BOZ was also a co-creator of that well-known series. If you are familiar with that, you'll recognize many elements in BOZ, but one thing that show never did and that was acknowledge Christ as Lord! It's got all the music, all the educational value, all the fun - only with the BOZ videos you don't have unsupervised children, or any of the other questionable content you'll find readily available to the preschool set these days.
We watched A WowieBOZowee Christmas, and have continued to watch it multiple times daily since. My twins are 2 years old and have actively asked to watch BOZ many times since receiving the movies! I know that they have found a new friend, and I'm happy to let them watch because I know it is of educational value, is wholesome entertainment, and will point them to Christ with everything they learn. Each dvd ends with a prayer, setting the perfect example to my children, and really wraps it all into a neat little package for them in conclusion of whatever they've learned.
Besides movies, the BOZ series of products includes music, books, and adorable plush toys. In fact, Exclaim sent us Thank You God for B-O-Z's and 1-2-3's! and Thank You God for Colors and Shapes! as well as 9" plushes that I'm looking forward to giving to the twins for Christmas! I know that they will be excited to have more BOZ to view, and with their own BOZ the Bear to love. I am so excited to find this new series and know that my kids love it, and I'm sure we'll come back to BOZ for more!
My kids always enjoy the special features on any video, and BOZ videos are no exception. There are some fun songs and activities to be had, and more if you place the dvd in your computer drive. The website offers a lot of fun activities as well, including watching clips, coloring pages, online games, ecards, screensavers, and wallpapers. There's even a spot for online book reading! BOZ reads the book on a video, and there's even some simple animation; just right to set for a preschooler and let them enjoy!
The folks at BOZ the Bear have offered the chance for you to win your own copies of all three of these movies as well! There will be 5 winners who will all receive all three movies, and 2 winners will also receive a 9" plush BOZ the Bear of their own! Just enter using the rafflecopter below.
