I LOve the whole Baby Einstein series.... It exposes babies to wonderful music- sounds of words,new things they would not get to see, beside the entertaining and educational puppetshows, all around i am PROUD to let my baby experience the collection of videos.... it makes my life a little easier, i can throw in a load of laundry and know that my baby is entertain with some thing thats so good and educational. When i enjoy it with him, sing along or dance, he gets the biggest kick out of it...i bought him the"on the go one" and as i was feeding him dinner i could hear the vidoe in the back ground , i started singing wheels on the bus... My son loved watching me sing it...well he is one of my biggest fans...but the videos make me remeber things i forgot that i used to sing-all around a great experience!Read full review
The name "Baby Einstein" can trick parents into believing it's okay or even good for their babies to watch it, but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that: - for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping. "Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an excellent option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to: - reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!Read full review
Great choices of music. Real instruments used. Children and teens are seen playing these instruments while it is clear that professionals are actually playing. It teaches the families of instruments: Brass, Woodwind, Strings, and Percussion. Would be great for daycares and young primary schools to show in their music classes P-1. My 1 1/2 year-old watches it well until about half way through. Then she begins to lose attention because it is aimed toward children with more advanced language understanding.
My kids really enjoyed this video and I liked that it covered so many types of instruments. There's lots of footage of real instruments and musicians playing them. I think my son would like a few more puppet skits, he really gets a kick out of them. He did specifically ask for this video today, though. I think this Baby Einstein will be enjoyed by older kids, my daughter (21 mos) is usually captivated, but actually lost interest in this one towards the end. My son(3 1/2 yrs), however, loves it.
My 2 youngest children have been growing up on Baby Einstein, and at the ages of 4 and 6, they adored Meet the Orchestra! I am going to use it for a music class I am teaching a 5 and 6 year old class. They give examples of instruments from each section of the orchestra, their sounds, piano and guitar, what an orchestra sounds like together, conductor, there's comedy mixed in (a puppet playing a tuba that makes car horn sound, and such). My son will now name instruments he hears in other pieces we listen to. You can't go wrong on this one.
