NEW INFANT TO PRESCHOOL VIDEO SERIES, BABY GOURMET,
PRESENTED 11 AWARDS BY RENOWNED TELLY AWARDS
BABY GOURMET sweeps several categories including Education, Entertainment, Health and Medicine, "How To" and Child Audience
(Mesa, Arizona, 4/30/02) BABY GOURMET, a newly released video series targeting the infant to 48-month-old viewer, swept the recent TELLY Awards by garnering 11 awards. The independent production, which has two videos currently available, only recently became available to the trade via direct distribution by YUM YUM STUDIOS.
A home-grown production by Arizona-based entrepreneurs Robert and Katheryn Warren, BABY GOURMET currently is available at Zany Brainy, Amazon.com, Purchasing Power Plus Hospital Gift Shops Nationwide, various web sites, and independent toy stores across the country.
Highlighting the beauty and celebratory nature of natural and healthy food choices, BABY GOURMET is the first video series to address head-on a growing epidemic in US society... obesity in children and the underlying cause of poor eating habits. The mission of BABY GOURMET is to give parents the tools they need to instill a lifelong love of healthy eating. In fact, their tagline is "A lifetime of healthy eating starts here with BABY GOURMET."
Uniquely positioned with its food-focus, BABY GOURMET plans to extend distribution into grocery stores later this year, being featured prominently in the vegetable aisles.
"There is no other video series that fits so naturally and seamlessly in grocery stores – especially the produce aisle," says Katheryn Warren. "With BABY GOURMET, the stores actually came to us. The series encourages healthy eating of fruits and vegetables, so it's in the grocery stores best interest to hook kids early to positive eating habits! Winning the Telly Awards adds yet one more stamp of approval to the program!""
Assisting in the credibility of the videos are early test markets that have shown exposing kids early on to a variety of fruits and vegetables leads to acceptance when introduced by Mom and Dad at a later time.
Two videos, Spring Summer Harvest and Fall Winter Harvest are on the market now, with a third, International Food to be released this Fall. BABY GOURMET is a multi-sensory experience for children designed to introduce little ones to beautiful fruits and vegetables, the artistry of foods and holidays in a gentle and amusing way that stimulates both the left and right brain. Highlights include the Mozart Effect, vocabulary and language, word/picture association, sequencing and logic, colors, textures and shape, as well as creativity.

HISTORY OF BABY GOURMET
For Robert and Katheryn Warren, the birth of their first child in 1999 brought a change in focus and a fresh look at the world. At four months old, their son, bouncing in an infant chair in front of Robert, squealed, giggled and cooed with delight every time Robert raised the Bon Appetite magazine he was reading. Realization and inspiration hit! The cherry tart on the cover was mesmerizing to their infant, Chase.
Through testing and research, Katheryn and Robert learned two things: First, their child, and others of a similar age, loved looking at beautiful pictures of food; Second, after an exhaustive search, they found nothing appetizing or engaging on the baby/toddler video market to help introduce and educate their child to the world of food. Even though every parent must feed their young, and is ultimately responsible for the health and nutrition of their child, there was nothing on the market to help parents accomplish this goal of healthy eating that we ALL struggle with! Being entrepreneurs, new parents and having a passionate interest in food, health, celebrations and family, the Warren's set out to create the kind of tool they were looking for!
After a year of brain and nutrition research, child development studies, visual tests and focus groups, Yum Yum Studios was built and Baby Gourmet, Food for Little Thoughts was born! Katheryn and Robert completely produced Baby Gourmet on their own, learning what worked as they went along and staying true to their vision. They wrote, cooked, filmed, edited, created characters, built sets, learned puppeteering, created skits and humor, developed the sound design in music and sound effects, directed and filmed holiday vignettes with children and created classroom sessions to expose and inspire children to eat well, accept new foods presented to them, and of course, to entertain!
A television show based on the series is currently in development, along with other licensed ventures including publishing, toys and a continuity video series.
