(AgapePress) - A new DVD series is introducing the youngest children to the Bible. Little Leaders founder Brad Silvius says parents can find numerous DVDs catering to kids age in the infant to toddler range, but his company offers the only truly Bible-based developmental product for this age group currently on the market.The Little Leaders Company produces DVDs that tell Bible stories for children from age 0 to 3, using colorful puppets, music, interactive activities, and computer animation. These entertaining features are implemented in creative ways, Silvius explains, to teach children "something about the real world around them."
For instance, a DVD titled Little Joseph, tells "the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors," the Little Leaders spokesman explains, "and we use that as a platform to teach children the six basic colors." Other titles in the series, he notes, include Little Noah, which teaches children about animals, and Little Ruth, which teaches basic counting.
Little Ruth is the newest Little Leaders DVD, and Silvius says in addition to introducing children to the biblical story of Ruth, this video will offer "a very revolutionary interactive bonus track where the parent can actually sit with the child and manipulate through this interactive track to reinforce the learning of respect -- and also to teach their children the sign language version of each of these particular facets of it."
According to Silvius, it has been found that children who learn basic signing, even before they are able to speak, develop a 20 percent larger vocabulary when they do start to speak. He is excited about the developmental aspects of the Little Leaders series, as well as its Bible-based platform.
And, since there are many more people in the Bible, Silvius points out, Little Leaders will have many more stories to tell. Titles available so far can be found at ChristianBabyVideos.com.
