the kids love this
My nephew is in love with these since he was less than 6 months old. Just play it for him and he is hypnotized. Kids up to 4 years old would love this too! I love watching it too. Very educational and entertaining.

AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS RECOMMENDS NO TV FOR CHILDREN UNDER 2!
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., 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.
I believe television should be used SPARINGLY and with caution, and without any delusions of it increasing baby's intelligence. As for making them more intelligent, Dr. William Sears says, "relationships, not things, make babies smarter." The best way to make babies smarter and calmer is to carry them a lot. Slings, pouches and carriers help make this more manageable.
- Carrying babies an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying!
Babies who are frequently carried pick up verbal skills faster, and develop better core muscle strength and balance. My Listmania list "Natural Parenting for Baby's First Year" has more information on babywearing, or you can google "babywearing" or "television and baby studies" for your own research.
Crown Crafts The Original NoJo BabySling by Dr. Sears - Black Chambray is a great starter sling.
Finally, I'd suggest "SIGNING TIME" videos - not to be confused with "Baby Signing Time" - as a last resort for OCCASIONAL viewing instead of other baby videos because at least baby can learn sign language. Communicating in sign language is proven to:
- reduce frustration and tantrums
- accelerate language development
- promote parent-child bonding
I found the entire series at my local library. I especially liked Signing Time! Volume 4: Family, Feelings & Fun DVD and 'naming' feelings also increases emotional intelligence in babies.

The BEST Baby Einstein yet!
My kids loved this one the best. The puppets were absolutely adorable. The most personality I've ever seen in puppets. Truly genius! My kids learned their shapes and I even loved watching it with them.

Very good video
I started putting my Grandbaby in front of this video when he was 1 month old he watches the 30 mins of it sometimes another round. The Einstein video collection is the best learning tool out there has far as I'm concerned. Love them all

Great for a toddler
I know my shapes...that's what your toddler will be saying before too long. It's set to music and your kids won't be able to look away. Our toddler learned her shapes and colors, and loved the music as well. A great teaching tool and entertaining to boot.

Awful -- Don't waste your money
This one is terrible. The clown is off-putting. My kids preferred the puppets in the other Einstein DVDs. The song is repeated too many times. Buy Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Noah, or Neptune instead.

Don't waste your money
As other reviewers have said, why mess with what works; and the real world items chosen were terrible and too few. The abstract animation used to show the shapes was awful. The dancing crayons were lame. My son kept turning away from the TV during the show...and he's a huge Baby E fan. This is simply painful to watch after the other Baby E successes. The Baby E creators should be embarassed by this production.

Love It~
This is definately worth the time and money to invest for your child. What a learning experience in teaching tool. Get it! You won't regret it. Your child will love it. I use this in my daycare too and all my children are well beyond their age appropriate learning capacity. Any B.E. video is well worth it!
