We started playing Little Playdates to our daughter when she turned 6 months old. As an only child, she was missing the interaction with other kids in a regular basis. Little Playdates has helped on fulfilling this gap. Our daughter is now 10 months old and loves watching this video.
This is the only video she watches and the only one we like. Other videos scare her with their aggressive approach to kids and over-stimulation. Because Little Playdates has minimum talk from the kids, our daughter is the one who does the talking. She really enjoys looking at other kids “just playing” and “just being kids”.
We also love the Little Playdates music CD; we sing the songs along in the car while running errands or during long trips. Little Playdates is a “must have” when your kid is ready to “interact” with other kids in the convenience of your house and it makes a beautiful present too!
These movies are a wonderful learning tool for children about communication, play, friendship, and fun. As a mother of 3 little boys, I am constantly trying to expose them to good things that will help them be able to acquire the social skill to help them succeed in life and be a positive contributor to society. I feel “The Little Playdates” movies helps them to see, at such a young age that all people are alike and special, and that’s very important in this day and age. I believe that children are so pliable, and having a fun and positive movie in the home, can replace some of the less desirable exposure they may receive from the television. I think every parent ultimately wants good things for their children to watch, and there’s just not enough of it out there. “The Little Playdates” DVDs are unique and entertaining, and more importantly, both children and parents will love them. I know every parent would praise your name for introducing them to this movie.
I am a mother of 2 children. My son who is 2 1/2 is very active. He very seldom will sit down for more than 10 minutes. When we watch ‘The Little Playdates” DVDs, he is so engrossed with the children and their activities that he watches the movie from start to finish without his attention wandering. These DVDs are teaching my children positive social skills.
I believe many people would be interested in hearing about “The Little Playdates” DVDs and what an impact they have on children.
We just love Little Playdates. We have seen the positive influence it has on our son. He is 18 months and has been watching Little Playdates since he was about 6 months. As soon as he was able to communicate with us he has chosen to watch this video over and over again. He loves it. When playing with other kids he shares his toys, doesn’t try to take toys away from other kids, he is not afraid of playing with other kids or animals and you can tell that he is so excited to play and learn new things. We feel it is a valuable learning tool that all infants and toddlers should grow up watching.
I have a two year old who is extremely active and is taking in everything around him. As a mother, I am always looking for things that will teach and influence him positively. He is an only child and does not have the company of siblings to learn how to share and play. When we watch Little Playdates, he is up and moving and smiling at the children on the television as they explore and learn new things. He laughs at their smiling faces and even dances to the music. What a refreshing contrast to watching other shows that he is either not interested in, or he just sits in front of the TV. I love that he is not only seeing how to interact and play with other children through watching Little Playdates, but he is also up and active, laughing and dancing along! Every mother should have a copy od Little Playdates in their DVD Library.

The Little Playdates shows are so cute. They can totally captivate my 2 1/2 year old as well as my 4 year old. They both LOVE to sing with the songs and dance with the kids. It is the best childrens show to come into our home in a LONG TIME!!! I can put the show in and actually have a 30 minute break from the kids to get a few things done around the house. I completely believe in the shows and will continue to share them with everyone I know. They are absolutely fabulous! I feel these shows could help other kids (and parents) and it would be worth your 30 minutes to take a look and see what these shows are all about.
Thanks so much!

We love Little Playdates! My two little boys love to watch the DVD and sing and dance with the kids on the TV. I love it because of the diversity in the DVD. As an Asian woman married to a Caucasian man I am always on the lookout for diverse DVDs for my boys. I am glad that they are able to see children from a variety of ethnic backgrounds and know that they are not the only mixed-race kids around. But it’s not just the ethnic diversity - although that is wonderful to see. I truly appreciate the fact that there are children with physical limitations in the DVD because it exposes my boys to the knowledge that there are kids out there with different physical needs and it helps to teach them tolerance and understanding. In a society that is inundating our children with violence in movies, TV and video games, it is refreshing to see a DVD of this caliber that teaches our children friendship, love, and acceptance of one another. It is showing them that we are all the same despite our differences.
The Little Playdates DVDs are a refreshing change to the typcial children’s shows. Most children’s shows have characters putting each other down, playing pranks on each other, or have strange unchild like appearances for the characters. However, the Little Playdates DVDs show children interacting with each other in a kind and friendly manner. My children (ages 7 months to 5 years old) love watching their “little friends” play on the television. I’ve noticed a change in them since they watched the DVDs. Their interactions with each other have improved and they are happier together. I applaude the JoAnne and Trent Pettry for creating these wonderful DVDs.
Hi!! My name is Sisilia Iongi and I have triplet girls that are three years old. What a hand full they can be, the funny thing is they enjoy watching the little playdates dvds and they sit through the entire dvd because they enjoy watching other kids play and go on little adventures with the children in the videos. They also love to to dance to the music and try and sing along as well. I recommend this to any parent who honestly who would like to have their kids go on a little adventure while you as a parent can honestly enjoy with them!!! This is really a good thing to have as a parent of triplet girls these videos are great!!!!
We purchased “Little Playdates” as a Christmas gift for our 2 year old daughter who was born with a rare genetic condition which has caused her to have significant developmental delays. Having spent much of her first year in the hospital and being busy with therapy and doctor appointments, she has had limited opportunity to interact with other children and tends to be nervous in social situations. Little Playdates is a great way for her to watch other children interacting and to get her excited about playing with other children. She smiles and giggles while she is watching it. The children are darling and the songs are many of our favorites.
Thank you!
