An authentic, rousing, and fun telling of the story of Easte

"As a father of two small children, this is a wonderful way to teach the true meaning of Easter. It's told as a kind of unfolding puzzle, where one by one the children open their colorful eggs to find an object inside each one that reveals another part of the story. There is a series of songs throughout, many of which are quite catchy and have me finding myself and my children singing them long after the show is done.
Being new to Ms. Patty Cake, at first I was struck by her excitement and enthusiasm, but after a few times you find she is really quite engaging and joyful, which is exactly what draws the children in and makes them feel welcomed and loved.
It is well-suited to preschool-age children in that the pace varies between active, get-up-and-sing-and-dance segments to slower, more thoughtful times to listen and think more deeply about the Resurrection story.
Highly recommended. Have fun!

"As an adult you have to get past the appearance of Miss Patty cake, but compared to Barney.hmmmmmmmmm. Anyway, my son
loves this videa, and goes around the house singing the songs.
For a christian family, it gives an alternate venue for explaining Easter...in a fun and informative manner."
Great for the kids, not for the adults.

"As we do with anything of this sort that we intend to let our kids watch, my wife & I previewed this DVD.
Wow, this is SO not for adult viewing. I mean, like really not for adult viewing. Miss Pattycake is sugary sweet, like a gallon of maple syrup at a time kind of sweet. While this makes most adults want to run for the nearest bucket, the kids love this stuff. In terms of content, it's all subjective -- we think it's good & sound, but some other guy thought it was too preachy. Check it out for yourself and judge first.
What's good? We'd been having a bit of trouble getting our 3 year old to get his head around the idea of Easter -- Jesus dying, the resurrection, etc. However, this video really does a good job of putting it all together in a way that a 3 year old can actually understand. Plus, he's singing all the songs too, all of which are related to the Easter story."
My Son Loves this DVD - plus Great Message!

"My two year old son absolutely loves this dvd and requests it over and over again! It really holds his attention and he knows every song by heart. It has also taught him so much about the true Easter story, which he repeats with understanding in his own words. What might initially seem like just another kids sing-song dvd really ends up being a sweet and well thought out effective message. We purchased this dvd along with the Resurrection Eggs from Family Life - an awesome combo & gift!"
Your kids will learn the REAL Easter story

"We have several Miss PattyCake videos, but this is our very, very favorite. The story is engaging and the music is extremely catchy. Together, they make the story of Christ's resurrection come alive for your preschooler. Have you noticed that almost all children's Christian videos are about Old Testament heroes? Finally, here is one about the greatest hero in the Bible: Jesus!! The storyline is built around an Easter egg hunt. Inside each egg that the children find is an object that tells part of the real Easter story, ie. a donkey for the Triumphal Entry, praying hands for Jesus' Gethsemane experience, a cross for His death, a rock for the stone that was rolled away from the tomb, and, coolest of all, an empty egg for the empty tomb!!! The music is extremely well integrated into the storyline and makes learning the story of Jesus easy and exciting for young children. Our kids are 2 and 3 and can tell you all the facts of the passion and ressurection (within reasonable limits for preschoolers) because of this video. They run around singing about the "Mighty Resurrection Day" waving their arms and jumping up and down. It is fantastic!! We have several VeggieTales, DonutMan, and other Christian videos, but if I lost my house today this is the very first video I would replace for my kids. It is OUTSTANDING. Also highly recommended are the book "The Story of the Resurrection Eggs" by Miss PattyCake and, to really make the story come alive, the real set of Resurrection Eggs by Family Life (both are available at ChristianBook.com). Have fun!"
