Copy Kids DVD Review

I've recently been introduced to Copy Kids and their wonderful DVD for kids. I had no idea that my opportunity to work with them would lead to new friendships and amazing respect for the kindness and generosity so easily offered to strangers.

Copy Kids is currently sponsoring 9 weeks of giveaways in my Rally 4 Jillie series. They stepped up to rally around a close friend's daughter who is only 2.5 and battling leukemia. It wasn't enough to just sponsor, they wanted to do more. They have done more for this little girl and her family in such a short time, more than they will ever know. I am so honored to have the opportunity to work with them.

So what exactly is Copy Kids?
Copy Kids is a DVD that shows children aged 9 months to 4 years eating and enjoying a variety of 12 fruits and vegetables. The idea is that kids love to imitate and copy other children. When your child sits down to watch the DVD, they will see that eating healthy can be tasty and fun!

Copy Kids Review
I was making dinner when my husband went down to get the mail with the boys. When they got back our Copy Kids DVD had arrived! I immediately put the DVD in while I finished up dinner.

There are 12 different chapters. One for each fruit and vegetable. Big Brother loved choosing which chapter to watch next. The boys were instantly giggling and fully attentive to the kids eating their healthy snacks.
The 12 chapters include:
• bell pepper
• banana
• oranges
• carrots
• strawberries
• avocado
• raspberries
• tomatoes
• apples
• broccoli
• cucumber
• blueberries

Now I do believe watching the DVD with a plate of the fruits and vegetables listed would be most beneficial. Thus being able to copy the kids and try each one at the same time. I didn't have all the listed fruits and veggies handy that night but did come across a great learning opportunity at a Halloween Party.

I'm pretty lucky my boys are open to most fruits and veggies, however bell peppers are one that don't go over well. At the Halloween Party was a plate of orange bell peppers. I put a few slices on Big Brother's plate and told him to try them and see how sweet and crunchy they were, just like the kids on the DVD. He was a little hesitant at first but then gave it a try, and was pleasantly surprised! It was great to have something for him to relate to.

I honestly can see this working on nearly all kids. It is recommended for ages 6 months to 5 years. Kids like to learn and copy other kids. The idea is so simple and so effective. No fake cartoons or characters, just real kids eating real everyday food. Brilliant!

You can purchase the DVD for your child on the Copy Kids Website for just $19.99. What a great little gift idea as well for the child who has everything! Give them an early start to healthy eating!

Copy Kids is also actively involved in Facebook and Twitter! Don't miss out on all their giveaways, fun information and things that will just make you smile.

I love my fruits, veggies AND Copy Kids! Show your kids eating healthy can be fun, all while supporting a fantastic product and company!

It is hard to even know where to begin this post and even harder for me to write it. As most of us are parents to young children you all know how hard it can be to see our children sick or hurt. I can't even begin to imagine the feeling of finding out your child has the dreaded "C" word. Cancer.
No child should have to face cancer. They shouldn't even have to know what cancer means. They should be riding bikes, playing, going to school and just being kids!

Why am I writing this about cancer? Thankfully both of my boys are healthy. However a close family friend of mine hasn't been so lucky. Her little girl Jillie, just 2.5 years old was just diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. A fast moving, aggressive form of leukemia that if not treated, could be fatal in a few months.

Luckily after weeks of being sick, Jillie was diagnosed and quickly moved to an amazing children's hospital. She will now be living in the Ronald McDonald housing for the next 6 to 12 months as she undergoes many many treatments and blood transfusions.
Remember she is just 2.5 years old. How do you even begin to explain to her what is going on and why she is now living far away from home and facing months and months of treatments?

So far Jillie is being a rockstar and keeping a smile on her face! She actually feels good with new healthy blood running through her! She is a fighter and one tough little girl. If anyone can fight this it is Jillie and her family.

In my small way of feeling less helpless and helping out in any way I can, I've started Rally for Jillie on my blog! I'm seeking sponsors willing to donate two items. One to add to the giveaways and one to send to Jillie. My hope is that this will keep her spirits up, help keep her occupied, to just keep her being a kid through this ordeal.

If I could hug the sponsors that have stepped up to help, I would in a heartbeat!  Their kindness and generosity to help a sick little girl says more about these companies than any review I could ever post. So if you are reading this, please take a moment to show some love to these amazing companies. To thank them for their small act of kindness that can go a long way in the journey to heal and cure baby Jillie.
