life for beginners

“Here is a rare and lovely thing:
a DVD that encourages children to turn off the box and go out and explore their own backyard!…
…I hope it finds its way into every pre-school and kindergarten in the country, as well as young family households.”

Kathy Kozlowski
Children's Book Specialist, Readings bookstore

“We are completely obsessed with 'In the Garden' in our house. It's such a beautiful, gentle and fun way to inspire kids to engage with nature.”

Justine Clarke, Play School presenter and children's entertainer

Praise for In the Garden:

Children will relate to what they see and more complex topics, such as how dandelion seeds spread, the life cycle of a caterpillar and basic food chains, are simply animated and very well presented.

In the Garden has great merit for parents and most importantly addresses the need for quality resources for the under threes, an area that often misses out in educational resources.
