Educational, Fun And Christian. Why I Love VeggieTales!
Last year a friend who is currently living in The United States Of America sent Rachel a birthday gift.
I helped her unwrap it and found a strange looking video cassette with animated vegetables on the cover, it was called VeggieTales.
We put it on and it turned out to be a version of the bible story ‘David and Goliath’ with animated vegetables taking the starring roles.
Rachel loved it! I don’t know if it was all the songs or the funny looking characters but she watched it repeatedly for days. For Christmas she got the personalised VeggieTales CD which again tormented us for a long time. Its quite cool and features songs like ‘He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands’ and ‘God Is So Good’
There seems to be a whole range of this stuff and although I am by no means a super christan I do have a strong faith and I want to pass this faith onto my children. VeggieTales helps intoduce them to bible stories and christian concepts in a very fun manner and in my experience lessons that are learned through fun tend to be remembered most easily.
we adore the veggies at our house, especially larry the cucumber. you need to get the “silly songs” cd..
Find the older tapes — the last couple haven’t been as good. The originators had to sell the company and Lyric Studios has been running it for a couple of years. Without their original vision, it’s just not the same. BUT still so much better than most of the cartoon crap out there!
We really like the Veggie Tales Christmas CD. We bring it out every year. I’m planning to stock up on the older tapes next time I visit my brother in Denver. We’ve nearly worn out the Silly Songs Countdown video.
