Little Pim is just about the cutest Panda I have ever seen. Well, maybe baby pandas are cuter, but only by a little bit. But he is definitely the cutest multilingual panda I have ever seen. Little Pim teaches children a new language (or brushes up skills) through the usage of DVD’s CD’s, toys, books and games, with perhaps the most well known being the DVD’s. The way Pim DVD’s teach is through examples in short segments, each being 5 minutes long, which are part of a much larger theme, IE Spanish Disc 3 is Playtime.

Each Pim disc is jam packed with learning by diagram, example action and most of all fun. And did you know? Pim likes to travel! (Just check out some of his pictures below.)

Little Man has recently found this game to be quite fun. He might not remember the words all the time yet, but loves it when he gets the words right. With practice, [Read more…]
