Review & Giveaway: Copy-Kids Eat Fruits and Vegetables DVD

So, you know how we grew up hearing, "If your friend jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?"  Why?  Because kids copy what other kids do, plain and simple.  With that in mind, Copy-Kids knew exactly what they were doing when they created "Copy-Kids Eat Fruits and Vegtables".  They've won 2 awards (Dr. Toy & MACT)  for this innovative video, and it's been added to the USDA's  training materials database for pre-school nutrition.  Not too shabby.

What is it:

A joy-filled video and an innovative tool for parents who want to get children to enjoy eating fruits and vegetables.  Copy-Kids is a media company producing video that encourages positive habits in young children, by watching and copying other kids. Copy-Kids unique content — DVD, online and TV — helps parents get their children hooked on healthy and positive habits.  Produced for children aged 6 months to 5 years, Copy-Kids innovative video is fun and compelling for both children and parents. Copy-Kids launched in January 2012 with our first DVD — Copy-Kids Eat Fruits and Vegetables.

The DVD features 12 x 7 minute chapters, one for each of twelve fruits & veggies:

bell pepper
bananas
oranges

carrots
strawberries
avocado

raspberries
tomatoes
apples

broccoli
cucumber
blueberries

Each chapters features several adorable and entertaining children aged 9 months to 4 years, eating with joy and delight. It’s a simple but revolutionary tool for parents who want their kids to develop a life-long habit of healthy eating. The DVD includes an on-camera discussion about healthy eating with renowned pediatrician Dr. Jay Gordon, plus a section of delightful outtakes.

What we thought:
Copy-Kids was generous enough to provide me with a free copy to review.  I have to be honest, when I sat down and started watching the DVD with Paddy (4) and Micky (2), I thought, "They will never sit through this.  It's just kids eating."  WRONG!  They watched every single chapter then went back and picked out favorites.  And even for days after, they were requesting specific fruits and/or veggies that they wanted to watch.  OK, so they watched it repeatedly, what did it do?

Most of my readers know that my kids are pretty into their fruits and veggies, however...Paddy almost always eats only the minimal 3 bites when it comes to tomatoes.  And Mick, though he'll eat cherry tomatoes by the pint, but he fights me with the broccoli and especially carrots.  Well, no more.  It started when Micky asked to watch the broccoli chapter, then asked for broccoli for lunch.  Uh, sure!  It seemed that they were actually intrigued by the chapters with kids eating the stuff that they weren't crazy about; and then were convinced to just eat them.  Because kids copy what other kids do, plain and simple.
