If you've been around babies in the last few years, you've seen these newfangled toys that are abstract in color (or just black, white, and red) and make curious, crunching noises. Studies have shown that these types of toys stimulate newborns, expanding the capacity of their little sponge-like minds. That concept comes to the video age in Baby Einstein. This 30-minute tape is called a "video board book" and the creators instruct parents of 1- to 18-month-olds to use it that way: huddle around the TV often pointing out objects and interacting with the child as you would with a book. Bright toys, patterns, blocks, and the like move across the screen accompanied by natural sounds, music, and voices. English, Japanese, Russian, German, and other languages are heard telling nursery rhymes or counting to 20. Now the creators don't expect your baby to recite "Humpty Dumpty" in Spanish by the end of the tape, but, as they state in the introduction, hearing different languages invigorates a baby's mind. These educators went on to combine classical music with their program on Baby Mozart and Baby Bach. --Doug Thomas

 Bad for the developing mind June 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Your child would love watching this video, but she'd also love eating cotton candy and drinking grape soda. Many pediatric and psychological studies have shown that young children know FEWER words for every hour they spend watching videos like this one. Why? Because they aren't spending time with YOU, practicing their language and social skills. There's also evidence that young children who watch TV have a greater risk of developing ADHD. Last, toddlers who grow up in homes with the TV always on in the background literally seem to have more trouble hearing themselves think. This hurts their developing linguistic abilities and consequently their abilities to engage silent reasoning.
Please protect your child -- don't let her watch any TV during her early, crucial, developmental years. We only watch TV when our little girl is asleep.
Do a little research on this and you'll be glad you didn't buy this video.
 Great service. June 14, 2008
Thanks so much for the fast service. My order arrived as I expected. I will certainly use this dealer again. Thanks so much.
Help make bathtime more fun! April 3, 2008
My 6 month old son has been watching this video on and off for 2 months and LOVES it. I honestly think he loves bathtime more since his introduction to water on the video.
There is a good balance of puppets, real video and animation. Another good Baby Einstein video!
Baby Neptune March 10, 2008
Both of my kids love this video. I am not a big believer in TV so this is pretty much all they get. On an 8 hour road trip it kept my 11month from screaming. I am not even sure how many times he watched this!
Another disappointed parent February 5, 2008
Like some of the other reviewers I've been reading I was also disappointed in this video. I think this would have been much better if the visuals related to the audio. Really this might as well be a bunch of random sounds and pictures. I believe it would have been much more enriching if the audio and visual matched so that baby could put the sounds in context.
