Our video products include Discoveries, Laugh Trax, Animations & Kid Clips,
Music and Insights as show here. Together
these elements combine to entertain,
build stronger family bonds and help parents develop
their children’s sense of humor.
As our company's name suggests, our fundamental goal is to bring joy and laughter into children's
lives. But producing "how-to" videos for parents would simply
fail to inspire. Instead, Make Baby Laugh! developed a product concept that prescribes entertaining
young children and families while subtly imparting techniques that adults can
learn to make their own babies laugh.
Our videos seek to inspire parents to actively engage with their kids. We strongly encourage
our audience to turn off their TVs and to try the Discoveries they see in
our videos. When parents apply the Discoveries they are apt to connect deeply with their child in an extremely positive way. We believe that some of the strongest emotional bonds develop when families are engaged
in joyful, laugh-oriented activities and are hopeful that our products can contribute to helping parents cement their parent-child bond.
Discoveries
Our videos' are built around Discoveries:
the actions, props, sounds and
behaviors that parents have found to bring joy and laughter to their
kids. Discoveries show parents new way to make
their own babies laugh, but we present Discoveries from a child's perspective
so they can enjoy them as well. Our fondest hope
is that parents will apply the techniques demonstrated so that the joy that our videos share spreads far and wide. Folks that pay closer attention
will also find other great laugh-inspiring ideas that we have worked into other parts of our videos.
Laugh Trax, Animations & Kid Clips
Our experience and research tell us that most
young kids simply love to see other children doing pretty much anything
fun and safe. Knowing this, we created Laugh Trax which sets video of families
and friends engaging in laugh-producing play to music. We also use Animation to engage your kids. Make Baby Laugh! developed
our first animated character TickleMon to serve as our videos'
host and to add elements of surprise, incongruity, absurdity and gentle tickling to our videos
— the very things that make young children laugh. Certain of our videos also contain stop-frame animations of toys and characters. Kid Clips are sound effects, absurd video
vignettes (e.g. talking fish, dancing elephants, etc.) and incongruous things such as apes
and monkeys acting just like people. While we produced Laugh Trax, Animations and Kid Clips for your kids, we've found that most parents get a real kick
out of these as well.
Music
Perhaps the biggest surprise we had while producing our first video was the critical and essential role that Music plays in achieving our core objective. Because our aim is to entertain children while imparting ideas for helping parents inspire laughs, we face a steep challenge: composing and producing music that appeals both to very young children as well as their parents. Our customers have almost universally conveyed that we achieved this goal. Give our music a listen to here: Music CDs.
Insights
To get the most of our videos, Make Baby Laugh!
offers parents research, information and analysis we call Insights. We include an
Insights Guide with each of our videos to help parents understand
the “how’s” and “why’s” of inspiring
children's joy and laughter. Our objective is to give interested caregivers a greater understanding of what young children find amusing so that they might find their own special ways to make
their babies laugh! To learn more about
how we come up with our Insights, click Dr. Kori Levos Skidmore. Dr. Skidmore is a clinical child psychologist that has validated Make Baby Laugh!’s
approach and who offers guidance for parents wishing to understand
more about the importance of laughter in a child’s development.
