Dove Review

“Kids Under Construction” is a cool series produced by kids for kids. That said the viewer should know that the production values here are not as important as the lessons learned. Each episode has its own unique spin on the struggles faced by elementary school students in many classrooms today. Issues such as tattling, bullying and gossiping are all dealt with in cool ways.

Prominent in each show is a question and answer session after each skit that parents and/or teachers will find helpful in reaching out to their students or kids. Cool music and fast-paced dialog are also prevalent in the DVDs which will ensure that the kids pay attention and retain what they have learned. Dove is pleased to award this fun and instructional DVD series our “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages.
