I sat with my grandson and we talked about what was on the screen, so they grew with us. These DVDs are not just entertainment.they are educational. The colors are vibrant so they catch the eye. The scenes change frequently so that the baby's attention is captivated.
This was a gift for a new grand nephew but I bought it because I already knew what a great product the Einstein DVDs were. This set was a great bargain and made a wonderful gift item. We bought everyone that came out and used them not as "baby sitters" but as learning tools. My first introduction to them was with my grandson.
And the pictures are not just animations.there are many, many real life scenes of animals, people, machines. It also had most of my favorites in it. I'm not a big believer in sitting your kid in front of the TV and leaving them to mindlessly watch anything that moves. The music is always appropriate to the scene, but it is also always very relaxing and soothing, giving the child a chance to hear different types of music.
The resolution also looks poor on our big HD TV. The length of the dvd programs is kind of short for that price. The first dvd I played was BABY NEPTUNE(TM) DISCOVERING WATER. Overall, I like the pure animation part better, and therefore, Numbers Nursery is more interesting to me. The quality of the real life images of water was very disappointing. It looks like cut and paste images from different tapes.
Our son counts backwards from '5' and he's two. try the Little Einsteins. (And, once your baby becomes a toddler.
My son LOVED to watch the Baby Einstein DVDs, even when we couldn't get him to watch any other TV or movies. The music is great, and they are full of color, animals, sounds and more. It is hard to entertain an infant for very long, as their attention spans are short and so is their patience.
A must have. (you'll know what I mean when you learn the theme song) We started him at 4 weeks, and he was immediately hooked.
The scenes change quick enough that just as soon as they start to loose interest, something else comes on.
It is also a great teaching tool, my son (who is 3) loves to watch and repeat the words and signs that he sees on the videos. It is really fantastic that it doesn't annoy the parents, entertains the kids, exposes them to fine art and music, and helps them learn. I bought this video collection for my sister. I also find them very entertaining, even from an adult perspective. This is a must have for any parent. I have the entire baby Einstein collection and I cannot live without it. It was the only way I was able to even get time to take a shower when my kids were infants.
I got the 18-pack for my latest kid, Floyd, and no matter how long I kept him tied to his TV chair, he still was as dumb as a rock after watching these things.
