Filmed in a childcare setting, with music and cute puppets, this wonderful DVD is made to help teach children to not bite others. Come join Ms. Patty and her class as they experience a variety of emotions that lead to “bad moments”. Ms. Patty explains to the children in her class how biting, is not a good response to their feelings, and that biting really hurts.
"The bonus segment features a day care provider speaking to parents and teachers about how to handle biting problems among children. This simple, focused production will be a good resource for teachers and parents." —Beverly Bixler, San Antonio Public Library, TX
“Don't Bite" educates your youngsters and includes a song of reinforcement about not biting others. Dove awards the Dove "Family Approved" Seal to this DVD.

MunchMats, Nutrition for the Brain!
MunchMats are designed around interesting, relevant and meaningful themes such as: “ Alphabet," “Colors-Shapes-Letters-Numbers," and “US Geography.” Each theme comes uniquely packaged in a pad of 30 different activity pages printed in brilliant color on 11” X 17” paper and is packaged in a heavy duty plastic zip lock tote bag. There is even a special Lap Board with Crayola colored pencils that can be used on field trips or special outings where there is no hard surface available.
There are 30 DIFFERENT activity pages per Theme. Each page presents unique educational content using a variety of exciting and motivating Learning Activities, Skills, and Knowledge such as Critical Thinking, Visual Perception, Eye-hand coordination and many, many more.
Alphabet Theme covers all 26 letters in great detail as well as introducing vowels and consonants. Each page introduces a new challenge for the child plus many opportunities to practice the newly learned skills. While building on previous pages, the activities become more challenging.
Colors-Shapes-Letters-Numbers Theme is very challenging and exciting. Colors are integrated with the shapes and both colors and shapes are used to introduce number concepts from 0 – 9. The alphabet is introduced since letters are used extensively throughout all activities in this theme
All of the challenges and exercises are presented to the children by Professor Smarty Marty, Alpha Betty, and their 5 Study Buddies. Smarty has a word of caution: MunchMats are not designed to get you off the dialogue hook; as a matter of fact they are the hook that brings caregivers and children together. The exercises are not time fillers, they are learning experiences that demand assistance from the caregivers and are designed to stimulate dialogue as well as provide the platform for question and answer periods.
