A construction site is probably as much a draw to kids as a park. There's something innately fascinating about watching the construction of a building or home. Cool Kid Vids and producer-directors Rob Newell and Chris Blakely have the right idea with their video
House Construction, which features all aspects of a house under construction. The premise is that Super Hammer (Bob Borgia, a magician- illusionist with a King Arthur crop-top) uses his "powers" to demonstrate the process to an enthusiastic group of kids. The kids are very normal and lively--and not precocious, which is refreshing. Super Hammer, on the other hand, is a little much, but forgivable considering that the fast-forward process of the house being built is fascinating and probably will remain so for several viewings, which no doubt your kids (or the kids you're purchasing the video for) will sit through. (Ages 2 and up)
