Publish it. Don't get caught up in perfectionism. This would be highly valued by me and many others even if it does "drag on" at times or lacks polish in certain areas. You have just recently bridged a gap that many would like to bridge, so it is still fresh in your mind what it is like to be on both sides of that gap. It's that freshness that lends unique value to your material. A 20 year professor might be an expert, but she has lost that freshness.

So publish it! Please!

Seconding this. Publish it, even if its a mess. Just make it CC, other people will clean it up if they think it's worth doing. If they don't, no loss to you.

As somebody who is looking for engaging ways to teach my young children math, I will also ask you to please please make this available. (And I can fully agree with previous comments regarding perfectionism and creative commons).

Wow, thanks for the interest :) I will definitely publish it this weekend on Youtube (I'm not home right now so I don't have access to the files). If you'd like to be notified about it, ping me on my email; I would love to have feedback on them!
