The Wiggles: Yummy Yummy

This was actually owned by my now 7 year old knephew who always asked for it when he was only 1 & a half till about the age of 3 when he discovered "real dinosuars", then handed down to my 1.5 year old twins by request... THEY LOVE IT! the songs are catchy, the moves are catchy, all the colors, songs and dancing keep my twin pre-tods entertained, and not just sitting staring at the TV, but up and moving along to the songs dancing and shaking, laughing and smiling. Though I can see how other parents may get annoyed or creeped out by the puppets (only on two songs), my boys are facinated by them and think the jumping crab is hillarious (which is pretty much the point, to entertain them, not me, though with my backround in Ped's Nursing and as a Teacher in a Child Development Center, Im usually up and dancing along, its just in me to be a big kid).I'm not to fond of some of the other Wiggle DVD's but this one is a regularly played one... Plus, Dad can actually tolerate this one, which is RARE, and dance with his kids(needless to say, he gets a workout too)I'm not big on "TV for young minds" but this truly is a workout video for little ones, they're not just staring into the TV with that blank look on thier face, they're up and doing gross motor, moving all the parts of thier body (age appropriate developmental skills perfect for this age!) which is also always a nice change from the everyday routines.

Our 20 month old daughter is not that interested in many children's videos but she loves the Wiggles. The music and the dancing keep her attention and she likes to imitate the dances and actions. Of the 3 Wiggle videos that are currently available, this tape is their second best. If you're only buying one tape, I'd recommend "Wiggle Time" over this one. "Wake Up Jeff" is our least favorite Wiggles tape- it must have been done much earlier and with a very low budget. The costumes and props are very "cheap" looking. It's OK, but not as good as the others.Although we play this tape a lot, two of the songs are done by the "Wiggles Puppets." These are some of the strangest puppets I've ever seen and they almost have a demonic look about them. If I were a kid they'd give me nightmares. At first, our daughter was a little afraid of them but now she just tolerates them. There's also a magic sketch in each of the Wiggle videos but we usually fast-forward through it. Maybe when she gets older she'll find this to be interesting but it bores her now.Overall, I think that these are wonderful tapes. They hold our daughters interest. The songs and dances are fun for her to watch and she seems to like the Wiggles characters (Jeff, Murray, Anthony and Greg). It's the only tapes that we have she loves to hand to us, then point to the TV (play this one).

My 14 month old son can't get enough of the wiggles. Funny thing, neither can I! The mere mentioning of "The Wiggles" sends my son into a frenzy of excitement. He does not just sit and watch the video but he is up and singing, dancing, clapping. And those puppets! We love the puppets! Some reviewers say the puppets are scary or surreal. However, I find them refreshing, energetic, goofy, creative and skillfully animated. Some of "Mr.Rogers Neighborhood" puppets are way scarier than these little fellas. Not only do you get the Wiggles and Pirate Feathersword in puppet form, you also get spastic Mexican Lizards, fish, and lobsters. Great stuff!I highly recommend this video and am eager to try some of the other Wiggles products. What is great about the Wiggles is that their silliness is fun to watch, even as an adult. My son and I watch the show together. I don't just plop him in front of the tube all by himself.The magic trick done by Greg is a little week. Would be funnier if it was done with/by the Puppets!If you like Monte Python, The Monkeys, Muppets, Dancing, and well written and performed little ditties, the Wiggles are for you.

My best friend has a daughter that is almost 16 yrs old now. She is like a daughter to me! One of her all time favorite shows when she was little was "The Wiggles". I remember the good ol' days!I now have a son of my own that is almost 2 yrs old now. I wondered..."Would he like the Wiggles"? They are not on the air anymore (that I'm aware of). I couldn't seem to find any of "The Wiggles" anywhere. I thought...well...I will check on Amazon...surely they will have some of the old videos that you can purchase. Amazon seems to never fail when you are looking for something that you need/want to buy! Here it is...a video of "The Wiggles"!I am SO thankful! My son is very very active! It is hard for him to sit still for 5 minutes. Let me tell you...not anymore! He begs to watch the Wiggles! He LOVES them! I'm SO very happy that you can still purchase some of the old DVD's! This was a hit 16 yrs ago...and appears to still be a hit for the kiddo's today!!!I would recommend anyone with children (even if they won't sit still) to buy a "Wiggles" dvd. They will be very thankful they did! I'm SO very happy to have been able to find this...and we watch it all of the time!!!
