I thought kindergarteners might look on this series with disdain, but my class loved it and everyone knew to tell time by the end of the year! Even the first and second graders that I tutored after school got into it. Wendy covers all the basics in an organized fashion, but with a highly motivating story line and a fast pace.

My kindergarteners also enjoyed Munchkin Math Shapes, and LOVED trapping the Zoid with paper triangles! I'm teaching preschool next year, and have ordered the money dvd too. Congratulations, Wendy, on a winning series!

I absolutely love this series of DVDs from Munchkin Math! My children who are 3 and 2 years old love them so much and have learned their shapes, started to learn to tell time and count money!!! This is an amazing tool for every parent to use to make math fun. I was never into math, but I hope to foster great enjoyment in my own children through tools like this. I would recommend the whole series, as it is fun, colorful and keeps a child's attention. I also think this would be a great tool for teachers and homeschoolers!

I was in total disbelief as my twin 4 year olds watched this video and truly learned how to tell time! They love the cute birds and always ask to see it. The dvd covers how to tell time to the nearest 5 minutes. I've watched my kids preschool teacher try to work on telling time, but this dvd made the concept look easy to teach to kids. A must have for any child not telling time!

Telling time is so hard to teach to kids. This DVD made it not only easy, but my kids LOVE it! They sing little songs all the time, and each could tell time after several showings. I think this DVD should be shown at elementary schools as well as in private homes. One of the top educational DVDs I've seen.

My children absolutely love this video. They watched it a few times, and truly learned how to tell time. It was worth every penny! The animation is terrific! The entire Munchkin Math series is great!

Great video to introduce kids to telling time. I do wish they'd spend more time on learning to count minutes. For example 4 minutes after 5'oclock. But, still a good beginning tool.

I have a 6 yr old daughter with Down Syndrome and a 3 yr old with Autism. This DVD kept their attention and wasn't too much over their heads. It wasn't overstimulating or too silly cartoonish either. The have a boy and girl at a playground help teach, the creator, Wendy teaches with a blue screen behind her a clock and they also have cuckoo bird cartoon character. They had some good ways to help the kids learn and remember the concepts with clapping and sing-song phrases. I think this is a great resource and explains telling time very well and in a clear yet fun manner.

I just bought Munchkin Math: Telling time and Counting Money DVD for my four year old. She loves it! The theme is engaging enough and she is learning a lot. Both DVD's are about 20-30 minutes duration with catchy tunes and funny characters. I highly recommend these products for parents with preschoolers who want to teach time and money concept to their little ones in a fun and informative way.

This is the second Munchkin Math DVD we purchased for our children, and they like this one just as well as they did the Shapes one. The characters are different but very cute and funny (even for an adult to enjoy!) The wizard is a little corny but he makes them laugh out loud every time we watch it. The kids are always rooting for Cuckoo (the little bird) to learn to tell time so he can earn his very own cuckoo clock. Like the Shapes DVD, there are many little chants for the kids to learn to help them remember important things about telling time. So after watching it a couple times the kids go around repeating them and then recall those tips when we're practicing how to read the clock. Overall a very useful learning tool and fun for the kids to watch too.

I own all of these and will purchase any more they make! Great series!
