"You might never have thought it possible, but these clever people have managed to create a great DVD that combines synthetic phonics with fruit and vegetables! All manner of fruit and veg have been ingeniously animated to create objects and scenes that are the basis for each lesson in phonics. The disc is divided up into brief sessions that can be viewed on a daily basis and which look at individual letters, blending groups of letter sounds, and then blending those sounds into whole words. All UK children are now taught to read, write and spell using phonics, and we think this disk is a fun and fruity way of giving your child a head start in this vital technique.
Our children found this DVD a really fun and effective introduction to phonics. After watching the DVD we were able to extend the learning experience by using fruit and vegetables to make our own faces, shapes, letters, numbers and pictures. Though the combination of phonics and fruit sounds an unlikely one, we found that this DVD really caught our children's imagination and helped them to learn whilst playing."
Your Fruity Friends say: It's good to understand the principles of a 'few minutes a day' learning and creative play with fruit is just so much fun, thanks. |

"My son Bill watches the DVD around every other day, he's 2 years 5 months and has an immense interest in words and numbers. He has really taken to phonics and now seems to look at words and tries to pronounce them when they are new to him.
I would really be behind you in everything you produce, I think Fruity ABC is a remarkable resource and has very much encouraged Bill to develop his OWN love of words, because it brings children into the educational process so simply and easily, he just thinks he's having a ball!
Thanks for helping us, as parents, to discover such a wonderful system of learning language, for our child."
Your Fruity Friends say: Thanks Mike - keep up the good work with young Bill. |

"A relative gave us a copy of the '123 it's a fruity abc' DVD and we thought it looked like a bit of an odd idea at first. But when we watched it our children were fascinated and quickly picked up quite a few phonics sounds and words. We think this is a really fun way to introduce phonics to pre-school children and would like to order another copy as a gift for my niece."
Your Fruity Friends say, pass on the word Lucy it's great for us. |
Parents in Touch - 123 it's a fruity abc - Review Oct 2007
"This is a dynamic, colourful video will introduce young children to the early concepts of 123 and ABC. This is done very cleverly using fruit and combines the concept of healthy eating and the beginnings of learning.
The discussion which can be started with adults and children while watching the video is to engage children in Phonic sounds, letter shapes, number shapes and number concepts.
The video will also help encourage children to concentrate, to listen and to think. This will sustain a multi sensory experience and leads children to be introduced to the beginnings of letter blending and help children create new words. I feel that both adults and children will find this a useful and pleasant learning experience." http://www.parentsintouch.co.uk |
Parents Overnight
June 2008 : As I was hanging around the house with my 2 year old little boy, we took the time to watch 123 It’s a Fruity ABC from Knowknowledge. This DVD aims to give kids an early lesson of the alphabet with fruits and vegetables as animated characters. Each lesson is based on synthetic phonics along with vivid colors and funny sound effects. parentsovernight.com |

With 3 children under 4, my youngest is just 20 months and is saying the sounds and they all love the animations.

My 15 month old son loves watching the animations, smiling all the way through. He particularly likes the introduction of each letter. |
Mrs R Moyes
I have 20 pre-school children every day and use Fruity ABC as a resource for the children to learn their numbers and find the letters in their name. They also use it to find the fruit and veg they are having for snack that day. A firm favourite and well worth the money. |
Ms M Simpson
I gave this DVD to my sister for her little ones and they love it, we put it on just before dinner and they all eat their greens now! Very good. |
Kim Andrews
This is a really fun DVD for young children - bright and colourful, ingeniously using characters made entirely from fruit and vegetables.
It is an excellent resource for encouraging children to learn letter sounds while reinforcing healthy eating - brilliant idea! |
Mrs A Cooper
This DVD has been a big hit with my young nieces and nephews. Healthier eating has now become fun - and a great bonus - not only are they learning to recognise various fruits and vegetables by sight, but they are also learning to recognise letters and words by their sounds. |
Mr G Warrington
My 2 year old loves the colourfull fruit characters he now recognises the letters and says the sounds along with the the dvd. |
Diana Kiernander
My daughter ADORES this dvd...Great balance between education and entertainment. Great graphics that capture tiny imaginations and a lovely introduction to phonics, with my little girl copying the sounds. Really nice soundtrack too. Highly recommended for the 1-3s +++++++
