As a grandparent re-entering the world of baby education, I was skeptical about screen time – until I popped in this DVD. The moment those bright colors and playful puppets appeared, my granddaughter's eyes locked onto the screen like she'd discovered treasure.

What shocked me? The 'nap test.' After her afternoon snooze, she'd point at the TV stand demanding 'more tiger!' (Her version: enthusiastic growling). That striped mascot became her first imaginary friend.

The genius isn't in teaching numbers – it's how they make '3' feel exciting. Real-world objects transform into counting adventures: bouncing balls become math, floating bubbles turn into science. I've caught her 'reading' numbers off cereal boxes now.

Pro tip: Don't skip the bonus features! The multilingual flashcards turned snack time into a mini language lesson. Who knew my 18-month-old would learn 'dos' before 'twinkle twinkle'?

Fair warning – you'll memorize every puppet's voice. After 50+ viewings, I catch myself humming the counting song at the grocery store. Worth every repeated minute when I see her tiny finger tracing numbers in her picture books.
