Russian DVDs or CDs for Children - Where can I find them?

[Kari Fisher]

I am an English-only-speaking parent seeking to teach my one-year old
Russian.  I have spent countless hours over the last year looking for
materials. I've joined many organizations, including NNELL, MFLA, the
Russian Teachers Association, and contacted every type of group imaginable
in my quest for these materials.

To date, all I really have is the Teach Me Series. And frankly, although
delighted to have something, I had hoped for better. Please see the web page
www.chinasprout.com - this has a wealth of resources for similar items in
Chinese.  Do you know of an equivalent site for Russian materials? I've seen
award-winning materials that teach young children Chinese on DVDs and CDs.
Are there any such materials in Russian for the same purpose? Or where can I
find edeucational children's books/DVDs/CDs in Russian? Or is there a good
Russian language series, like Berlitz Rush Hour Spanish, that might be
appropriate for a toddler because it has music also and the dialogue is
basic?  Is there a good children's Russian picture dictionary that would be
great for someone teaching Russian to her daughter and who has not yet
mastered the Russian alphabet?

Any and all information that you may have would be greatly appreciated.  I
would happily sift through many emails for one new lead or suggestion.

I thank you in advance for your time.
