The Magic of Making is a charming collection of short videos that take you behind the factory door and the farm gate to discover how everyday things are made.
Aimed at 3-9 year-olds, their unique combination of education, entertainment and humour make our videos appeal to a wide age-range. Even grown-ups get hooked!
But don't just take our word for it: read the feedback we've received (below) and watch Church Bells in full to see why kids, parents and teachers all give The Magic of Making the thumbs-up!

S Jordan, BuckinghamshireMy son is 23 months, just loves them and asks me to put them on constantly - over and above other favourites. Thank you for a great educational and entertaining DVD.
Mrs W Wills, DevonIt is truly a wonderful piece of TV viewing. It feeds the natural curiosity for the things around us that kids have and that adults have too often forgotten. Please keep making more.
G Forge, DevonAs a mother, The Magic of Making is one request never denied. More please!
Clara Leather, JerseyMy kids and I watch these films over and over again, even my wife takes an interest! This is classic TV, informative, classy, entertainment. Well done - it's what TV was meant for.
Simon, PortsmouthThe kids just love them - they have watched them so many times. They are a great way of education, too. Keep producing them - they will be passed on to the younger grandchildren - if the first ones will part with them!
F Kane, ClackmannanshireI bought volume 1 for my daughter years ago, she is now 8 years old and still loves to watch it over and over again. She has recently asked me to buy her more as a birthday present!
Diana, LondonWhat a fantastic set of DVDs! My boys (aged 3 and 7) are big fans, thoroughly enjoying the content and fast pace of each series. Well done!
