"These are absolutely wonderful.
With regards to the animation, please don't be expecting quality like Finding Nemo or something, it's a different kind of animation. But seriously, the messages are so great and valuable that you wouldn't care if it was a bunch of stick figures floating across the screen. And it is not, it is bright, colorful, cheery and the kids LOVE it.
Now with that being said, these are so amazing and valuable for character building. There are 16 short segments, and they are short, but so full of wisdom, and each one has a precious song too. Each segment centers around a short story that has a valuable lesson for the topic. The topics are as follows:
1) Obedience & Self-Control
2) Goodness & Faith
3) Honesty & Responsibility
4) Thankfulness and Gentleness
5) Sharing & Kindness
6) Politeness & Joy
7) Confidence & Love
8) Patience & Peace
The theme is the "Fruit of the Spirit" as found in the book of Galatians in the Bible. God's word is the theme of each story and is behind every moral lesson, there is NOTHING more valuable that instilling biblical values and character in a child (and it being drawn right from the word).
Alpha Omega has done a fabulous job. There is nothing distasteful, nothing inappropriate, nothing concerning - nothing would I change. I am very choosy and selective about what I show my children and seek to honor the Lord in all our choices - this most certainly does.
My children are 3 and 4, and they have remembered these videos, and drawn a correlation to them throughout their days. What I mean by that is, if they have done something that needed correction, or experienced something that reminded them of the video, they have verbally shared about a part in one of the videos that relates to what just happened and even at times corrected themselves and stated they should try to be more like the video. Hallelujah - the videos are bearing fruit already!
I don't think any Christ-Centered Family will regret this purchase.
Hope that helps :)
Blessings!"
Great for Sunday School or at home.

"I purchased this DVD set for our children's church. I watched it and it seemed a little cheesy, but my 3 year old son LOVED it. The children in class loved it as well. Each episode is only 10 to 12 minutes long it includes a little story about a fruit of the spirit and has a song to go along with it. I will say the songs are not easy to teach the kids but they are entertaining and filled with good messages. There are 16 episodes so obviously not every one is about a fruit of the spirit, but it is about building good character. The children in the class love this series and retain most if not all of the lessons being presented. I would highly recommend this for church or home."
