Initial Title in Kids’ New Monkeydoos Exercise DVD Series Wins Parents’ Choice Award
Prestigious Parents' Choice Foundation Recognizes the Importance of Activity for Kids By Giving the New Monkeydoos DVD An Approval Award.
Bristol, CT (PRWEB) April 11, 2005 -- “Gallop, Hop & Stomp,” the initial
release from the new Monkeydoos DVD exercise series for kids from Thinkeroo, has
been awarded a Parents’ Choice Approval, it was announced today by Mark
Mazzarella, producer/director of the series.
“Gallop, Hop & Stomp”
gets children using their entire bodies to simulate physical movements made by
different animals found in the wild. Physical movement, especially when started
at younger ages, has proven to develop motor and coordination skills that lead
to prolonged health, emotional well-being, potential for improved academic
performance, accelerated social adaptation and increased energy. In a series of
fun activities set to upbeat original songs, host Maureen Straub and her simian
friends Flip, Tumble and Twist take viewers into their make-believe jungle to
hop like frogs, climb like monkeys and stomp like elephants.
