Hello there! I'm Allison Czarnecki, founder + editor of Petit Elefant, a blog all about style on a budget for every part of your life: style / home / travel / family. I do a lot of how-to beauty + style tutorials, travel posts, easy recipes, home remodel projects, and cool DIY crafts you totally want to try. I'm super happily married (to a hot Polish immigrant) and am the mother of two kids, a daughter and son, all of whom are featured here on the regular. We live in the country but we're a little bit rock + roll. Welcome!
Sanity–without feeling guilty!
Whoo Hooo! I would love to see how my child will react to these. He has not been much of a t.v. watcher, but I have to admit, there have been times I have locked him in the basement with me, turned on the t.v. and hoped he would sit down for five minutes while I collected my thoughts. Maybe something different would catch…and keep his attention.
I would love to be able to pop one of these in and know that my child is learning something while I am getting housework done. Thank you for the giveaway!
I’d love to win these DVD’s. I’ve seen them around on the ‘net and have heard great things about them. They would be a nice change from all the Dora the Explorer we’ve been watching! Great giveaway, thanks.
These would be so appreciated by my niece-she has twin 3yr old boys and a 6 yr old son-need I say more!

Great for the days when Grammy (moi) is baby-sitting!
I’ve been drooling over these for a few months. Would love for my children to be exposed to them. Sanity? What’s that!

great send it to me
This would be great to entertain my kids on those big thunderstormy Midwest days when they can’t go outside. Or on the burning hot days when again, they can’t go outside.
My daughter has some developmental and speech delays, so not only will these give me a few minutes peace, I think they would also be very good for her. Thanks so much for the opportunity.

These would be awesome for us this summer…I’m in the middle of a high risk pregnancy with three kids at home. Entertaining AND educational? Wow. Perfect for my kids during some of my necessary down time.
I need this for my sanity…badly. Since my girls have been home from school, I constantly hear,”mommy…I’m hungry” or “mommy, there’s nothing to do” or yet again “mommy I’m so bored”…PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE help me out here…I need to win this for my sanity and my kids brain candy they so desperately need!!!!!
These would be great for the kids to watch when I need a little alone time. It’d be educational and they’d enjoy seeing these DVDs.
partymix25(at)hotmail(dot)com
These DVDs would be perfect for entertaining my girls on hot summer days when they need to come in and cool off. Thanks so much for this fun giveaway!
Well I’d save them for those moments when they get a little too rowdy, if you will, and get them calmed down with maybe some soothing ice tea or something :) thanks for the chance!
We all need something to help calm the kids when thae are way to rawdy.
I don’t know about keeping me sane, but would love to win these for a friend’s child, maybe they will keep her sane! Thanks!
Our granddaughter, whom we take with us often, gets restless…an active little girl…these are PERFECT to keep her busy for the times we need to do some things, and know she is doing something good…and fun. THANKS
I would let my grandaughters watch these while I took a shower or read a book.
These videos look like fun! Thanks for hosting the giveaway!
They look like a LOT of fun and could be very helpful on those rare, but dreaded, rainy days.
I have all my children at home all summer. Camps are too expensive. This would be great to break up the monotony.
Hello, I have a great-nephew coming to stay with us this summer. I would love to have these on hand for him. Please enter me in your wonderful drawing. Thanks, Cindi

Our 2 y/o daughter has to be on a feeding pump for 1 hour in the morning. This always goes best when she’s sitting still, and the best way we have found for that to happen is to pop in a movie. We’re always on the lookout for movies that are educational (and not annoying). We’ve been through the entire Baby Einstein series, and she’s pretty over that. I’ve heard of Braincandy and wanted to give the movies a try, but haven’t done it yet.
I think these would keep me sane because my 2 year old would love watching them, and I wouldn’t have to feel bad about it because I know it would be beneficial to him to see them. Thanks for the giveaway!
My daughter has an incredible vocabulary for a 2-year-old, and these DVDs would challenge her. She learns like a sponge, and it would be great for her since I’m a work-at-home mom. I can work without feeling guilty about what she’s watching.
I’d love to gift these to someone
I have 2 girls who would love to watch these!!! The love DVD’s.
This would help their summer!
Oh, my little one would love these. And that means I would love them. I need a break from Dora and Diego! :)
i am sick of watching the wiggles and all the other shows when i babysit these would help my babysitting job by alot atleast i think i think the children would be much happier watching these than wiggles.

These would be great for those days when it is just too hot and humid to play outside here in Florida.
Right now the mosquitos are so bad we have to go outside with body armor on, and then we sweat to death! This would be great for those few hours that we really can’t go outside during the day because we get swarmed!
my son loves to zone out in front of the tv and i dont allow him… but daddy does… so maybe daddy can at least let him watch something good for him.
I’d love this set for my son, although he may not be able to enjoy them quite yet. HOwever, I know that they would help keep my sister sane this summer on HOT days when she can’t send my nephew outside!

Well, we are expecting our third baby any day now, and my preschoolers could definitely use this series to keep them entertained and educated while I’m busy with the new baby :).
I think they would be great for my son, who does get tired of the same shows when we do watch thing 9Disney/PBS). They would be good to have just in time for when our second baby is due in a couple of days!
This would be great for both my kids.. especially when I want to clean!!
xxbeccaannxx@gmail.com
I would love these for my son because it would be nice if he could watch something and I wouldn’t feel bad and he would actually be learning!
byubabe14 at yahoo dot com
I homeschool and even though it’s Summer we are continuing with learning. This set would be a wonderful asset so that I can get things done while my children enjoy themselves while still learning.
i love educational tools like this. they are much better than cartoons or uninteresting tv shows that people use to keep their kids entertained. entertainment and learning all in one is definitely a plus for me. i’m all for winning this one. i would put it to good use.
We have to drive 67 miles to the store. These would be great for the kids during the trip. Thanks for the chance.
I’d love these! Anything without commercials is welcome here! afdr3d@umkc.edu
I need some variety in my life! I’m caught singing the Sesame Street songs from our ONE DVD when Andrew is napping.
JoanneMMHolt(at)yahoo(dot)com
I’d love to win these because sadly my son is becoming a TV junkie thanks to PBS. I’d love something else educational when there isnt PBS kids shows but he wants something to watch.
Tigg94@aol.com
Summer. We need these since the boys are now off school. What are we going to do all day? Thanks goodness they love to watch tv!
We could definitly use this DVD collection for some peace and quiet (now.. I really do know that is not going to happen). My son would really enjoy these DVDS. I will admit it, i let my son watch a little bit of TV everyday (ONLY EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS) Thanks for the giveaway
My youngest daughter has autism. She is thrilled to learn through DVDs because, unlike people, they are so predictable. I always supplement her daily face-to-face lessons with a little DVD support. Braincandy’s products look engaging without being overstimulating and they talk about things that are important to her development. Great product!
Ooh, we could use some variety to our TV watching. And then maybe I can get some laundry/dishes done!
I’d love to win these DVD’s. I’ve seen them around on the ‘net and have heard great things about them.
I NEEEEEEED these videos to help me occupy my son so I can get things done around the house. We have not had cable tv in our house for about 4 years now and have completely EXHAUSTED our video collection, so on rainy days I’m constantly hearing “Mommy, Im SOOOO bored!”
Help!!! ;-)

These look like awesome DVDs. I would love to win these for my nephew. I know he would really enjoy them + they look like they would be very educational. Thanks for the chance to win!
We are going on a cruise, and were going to take the portable dvd player for early-morning distraction. I think dd would love these.
My kids love BrainCandy DVDs. This would also make a great baby shower gift! Thanks!

Why do I need this? Well…for sanity of course! I have a VERY needy 8 month old daughter and I hate that I spend so much of my day keeping her from crying that my 3 year old does a lot of waiting. Like most 3 year olds, he loves tv…so this would be awesome! I am all for an educational program, preferably one a little more educational than Go Diego!!! Oh…and we are in and out of town ALL summer, so anything for the car is awesome!
these look great, good for a change
Why do I need these….because there are nighst when my littlest doesn’t let me sleep and I need something to keep the older ones out of trouble while I take a power nap!!
I have a new baby and twins who would love this. Therefore, I would love it!
My lord, are we allowed to admit our kids watch tv yet? I have 3 kids and this summer is long already with hubby away. I just need time to shower, to cook, to surf the net, to copy down a recipe into my notebook and if these dvds can do this for me guilt free? I would be thrilled. Truth be told they are watching Bunnytown right now so I can write.
I used to teach 1st grade before having kids and would love to again- these dvds look cool for that as well!

DVDs that teach are better then Jerry Springer!
hetz-junk(at)hotmail(dot)com
I’ve been letting my 2-year-old watch his big sister’s videos, and I’d like for him to watch some that are more age appropriate. These would be excellent teaching tools!
We have four kids and I always love NEW dvds because nothing keeps kids quiet like a new show. Sometimes I just need a little quiet!
I was checking these out on the site! They look great. My littlest son has just discovered the wonders of TV from seeing his older brother. This would be great for my boys!
My kiddo would really love this!
My husband is gone all day and night with school and work and my kids are so sick of Baby Einstein. I could really use something new to keep them entertained while I try to keep the house in some semblance of order during their few minutes of down time.
These DVD’s look very interesting – especially for little ones that are just learning all about their surroundings. I know they would buy me some time to get my two little ones rooms painted (I REALLY want to get that done this summer!!) Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!

We’re in the process of finding a new place to live, which means I didn’t want to waste money on camp or other classes for my 4YO, since I wasn’t exactly sure when this move was going to take place (we ideally want to move sooner rather than later, so we can get settled before school starts). So that means a LOT of downtime this summer! I feel so guilty, so getting this for my daughter would win me a lot of bonus points in her constantly changing opinion of me!
Sanity–without feeling guilty
Being pregnant, I need something to keep my other kids occupied while making it educational at the same time!
These would be great to have for my son. We don’t get cable, so we rotate through our DVD collection… it would be fun to add these to the rotation!
i have all 3 of my preschoolers home this summer. keeping them entertained makes me ecstatic!
annsavd at gmail dot com
I need these! We live in a shoebox – oops, sorry I mean apartment and my toddler gets stir crazy. It’s now stinking hot outside, so we go for a swim in the early am, then hole up indoors until about 7pm when it’s fractionally more tolerable outdoors. She gets bored silly during that large middle chunk of the day and by the time eveing rolls around, I am hovering on the brink of sanity. (Ok, if you want honesty – I’ve usually fallen into the abyss by then . . .) Anyhoo, I’d love these! My cherub would be entertained and get some stimulation aaaand she’d have a semi-sane mom – sweet!
I have to babysit 3 preschoolers for my sister this year. I need this to help keep my sanity
weblynx@hotmail.com
I have a three year old daughter that is developmentally delayed and I think these dvds would help hold her attention! Great products!
it would be great to have these when we go on vacation for my son to watch. Thank you for the contest!!
My child LOVES television and I would love to have something that was of value for him to watch instead of the usual stuff!
fourblackmans@msn.com
I have seen these and would love to try them out and own them too! My 2 year old is bored with no siblings to play with. This would be a great option to keep him happy.
I think that there are times when we all just need a few minutes. I don’t believe in letting the tv baby sit, but I will admit to throwing a video in if I need to get something done without my children helping.
I would love to try these, it is great that they are entertaining and educational. thanks!
I teach kids in my summer chruch program and this would be great
My sister-in-law is getting married to a man with 2 very young boys this summer. We’re watching the boys (that’ll make 3 boys in the house under age 6) while they’re on their honeymoon, so this set of DVDs would be a great sanity-saver for me, mom and new aunt. Thanks for hosting this great give-away!
because my kids love watching dvds and the more educational, the better.
My sister has a child and I have one on the way,it would be perfect for us!
I need these because I have a 6 wk old and the kids have been watching way too much TV becuase of it!
Lately it’s been Icecream. Perry’s icecream!
I loved baked Lays!
They’re not for me. They’ll hopefully be for a young gentleman who’s suffered much in life.
I’m sure my kids (5yo boy & 2yo girl) will benefit from watching this “5 Senses” DVD series.
A pity BrainCandy stuffs are not available here.
moving in with my mother-in-law. enough said.
To keep my daughter distracted – she has decided she no longer likes her movie collection
we have had some days where it’s just too hot to be outside-so watching an educational DVD would occupy them for a short time
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
We’ve had an insanely hot and oppressive summer already, so we’ve spent much of our time indoors. It’s difficult not to get too stir crazy, and these DVD’s would really help break up our day making staying out of the sun a lot more enjoyable.
My son would loves to play, dance, and participate in the shows he watches on TV, I know he would love to play with these as well!
I would love these for my daughter, they are great! They would be able to see something worth while beside spongebob all the time, thanks!
OKAY, are you ready???? I have three little ones 3, 2, and 7 months, plus one 2 year old I watch mon-thurs,-we live in AZ so unless I get them up and outside by SEVEN, lol, I have to plan an aray of things to keep all these little guys busy for an entire day! PLUS I have no dishwasher, I am the dishwasher, and my sink is overflowing!!! Finding something that will keep my little qt’s entertained and out of my hair long enough for me to wash the silverware is almost IMPOSSIBLE! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me get my kitchen clean!
I need these to help my kiddos learn while having fun at the same time. Happy smart kids make sane parents!
Simply put something like this could allow me to escape briefly from my 2 and 5yr old while my 8mos old twins are napping long enough to take a shower! I can’t tell you when the last time I got to take a shower in the daylight on a weekday was. So a brief escape into the shower without fingers under the door or kids constantly entering and asking if I’m done yet, or if it’s their turn would be as close to sanity as it gets in this house! Additionally I really feel it would help my 5yr old with his speech apraxia.

It will give my son something good for him to watch while I can get things done….like summer reading!!
This is a great way to keep my kids minds active during the summer months.
Anything to keep the kids busy this summer would keep me sane!
I would like to win these to let my son try them as I think they might make my son happy, which in turn makes me happy.
Perfect to entertain the little ones
I would love these DVD’s. I would like to know that my child is learning something while watching the tube! thanks for the chance to win!
This would be fantastic for my nephew.
THIS IS GREAT! MY NEPHEW WOULD LOVE THIS!
SWEETANGL5632@AOL.COM
My cousin would really appreciate this since she’s home this summer with her daughter and stepdaughter.
Thanks for the giveaway.
carissaad at aol dot com
after reading the interview you had earlier…i was so going to look these up online!
so…
that’s how you will save me…you could help me by just sending them to me! it will make my life SO MUCH EASIER! and i would love to see my girls getting educated AND entertained at the same time!
I need these because kids get dumber each day they are out of school. I just heard a kid call his brother a scrud. I don’t know what a scrud is but I don’t think I want to know.
this looks super entertaining, it looks like something i wouldn’t mind watching not like some other kids shows that you just can’t stand!
Allow my kling-ons to learn all through the summer and give me a few minutes to take a shower,cook,clean or even a break to watch the DVD’s with them so we all have fun ,popcorn is a must!!Count me in to win , I have heard wonderful things about these DVDs
For my niece who is visiting for the summer and sometimes drives me insane! Then she can share them with her brothers when she returns home and they begin to drive her insane.
kcknc2 at aol dot com
I could finally squeeze a few minutes in for myself if I put this on for the kissies.
The heat and lack of mental stimulation of a school-less summer is causing my kids’ brains to melt. This would put a spark in their minds.
my daughter’s started to watch television and it would make me feel better if she were watching these.
I’d love to watch this video to avoid the insanity of “reality” television.
I would love to win this for my daughter!
i think my daughter would love this, it would give her something else to do rather than driving me crazy!
This would be great when baby sitting my nieces!
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
It’s too hot and muggy to go outside, all the books have been read and the whining and arguing begins…Riding to the rescue comes braincandy to save my sanity and offer the kids entertainment and education in one fell swoop! Thank you braincandy, Thank You!
murphykatt(at)yahoo(dot)com
This would be such a nice change from Spongebob for my God son. I love eductional DVDs where the kids can learn as well as have fun. Thank you for the nice giveaway.
It makes me happy to know my child will learn so many things versus watching some of these cartoons.
Nora
neneelynn@yahoo.com
fabulous for my 8 month old grandson.
looks like a great set add me please – regnod(at)yahoo(d0t)com
I need these!!! I have 3 boys and sanity is not very common around here in the summer!! Maybe if I win the Braincandy DVD’s my 18 month old would sit still and climb off of my leg for a few minutes!!!!
I am a child care provider and I don’t like seeing children watching useful television. I’d see these as more of a learning tool that is fun for kids! Thanks for the chance :)
Our 2 year old son thinks it’s such a treat when he gets to watch a movie! I’m sure he would enjoy these immensely. Thanks for the great giveaway!
These DVDS look so fun and a great time occupier. I think my nieces would love them!
My nephew is just now talking and conversing, so I know he would totally dig these videos…plus, it’s something he can do while everyone else is doing Wii Fit.
My poor little ones are bored out of their minds! The big one keeps teasing the little one who keeps harassing the other one who keeps yelling for me!
I need these dvd’s because I am trying to have good alternatives to bad t.v. available for my young children. vidomich@yahoo.com
These would be great for my 2 year old daughter! Thanks for the contest!
My daughters could all work together on this! What a great thing to do on a rainy day!
Perfect for my grandchildren.
Learning and playing at the same time
This is the kinds of things I bought my children-educational all the way and fun at the same time.
Thanks for a great contest.
THESE WOULD BE REALLY GREAT FOR GIVING MY SON SOMETHING EXTRA TO DO THIS SUMMER AND HELP HIS learning ALSO :)
I can only take so much of the summer sun at the pool (and all the screaming kids). I need these to make sure the kids don’t ask to go to the pool everyday…please.
I know 3 little kids that would love these
we need these, they look educational yet fun and a great diversion from what my kids usually watch, thanks for giveaway
We are taking a long road trip this summer and this will definitely help my son pass the time!
jasonncaryn at yahoo dot com
these would keep my daughter entertained with something educational. I might actually have a minute to get something done.
We’re about to embark on a 5 hour drive and these would be terrific!
Some nice childrens videos. Please enter me in the contest. Thanks!
These would be great to keep my son occupied for a little while and learn something.
Im always looking for fun productive things to do with my boys. What a great prize!
I want these DVDs because they sound interesting. They will keep me happy by providing education and entertainment.
i am a child psychologist and I would love to add these to my colleaction and also review them and be able to recommend them to parents!
These look like a godsend. I’m always looking for quality entertainment for my boys.
