Catchy Tunes and More Words for ASD Child
Our son is on the Autism Spectrum and is a very visual learner. He knew his shapes and colors and we used this as a repetition source for maintenance.
One day while driving he came out with one of their songs - Green grass, blue sky, red apples and the yellow sunshine. We were surprised since he doesn't normally speak without a lot of prompting. He really liked the song. We in turn were very happy to hear him sing the words out clearly. Highly recommend for those on the ASD.

great for teaching young toddlers!
I was given this DVD and I love it! I started letting my son watch it about once a week when he was around 15 months and he knew his shapes and colors in no time! I think these videos are superior to Baby Einstien because they actually teach your child. If you are unsure just buy a used one and try it. I doubt you will be dissapointed.

Great find!
This was the first of the Brainy Baby series DVDs I bought for my now 3 1/2 month old son. It hooked me. I like the series overall so much better than most Baby Einstein videos which many moms rave about (except I do like Neptune in that series). Anyway, this video is wonderfully perpared. It has vibrant uses of colors and shapes--using many children and creative ideas for every day items to show children shapes--such as a pizza slice for a triangle. Since children tend to want to watch the same video over and over--be sure to pick one you can stand too. This one is fun to watch for you and your children.

brainy baby shapes and colors - just ok
The video is Ok but some of the songs are pretty hokey and even my son doesn't like them. He will watch the video but he has yet to sit for the entire video like he does with others.

Tackles 2 concepts in 1 video
The Shapes portion of this video begins with a really long song about shapes and foods (triangles are like pizza slices, etc). I really don't care for the singing voices. It always sounded to me like they were singing, "Whilst you know how to name your shapes". I had to listen to this over and over and finally realized they they were really singing "Once you know how to name your shapes" (at least I think that must be what they are saying because whilst just doesn't make sense).
The shapes focused on in this video are circle, square, triangle, rectangle, star, diamond, heart, oval, crescent, and then they have a very little bit with the shapes pentagon, hexagon, and octagon.
The very first time I watched this I thought it was annoying. Everything seemed to be fast and hard to absorb. As I watched it again I felt that it wasn't quite as bad as I thought at first. I like the Colors half of the video better.
In the Colors section they have a lot of repeats of Baby's First Impressions Colors, but Brainy Baby has more speaking and adds a few more colors. The colors are red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, brown, pink, black, white, silver and gold. After a few colors they have a color review. Just for you to get an idea, for purple they show these things in purple: balloons, flowers, bunny, ball, baby with a scuba outfit on (why? I don't know. I guess because it's purple), slinky, grapes (animated ones and also real ones), egg plant, pool dolphin toy, easter egg, toy turtle and then kids in purple.
It is nice that this video tackles two concepts in one video. I think it's ok but I'm not wildly excited about it. I really like So Smart Shapes and So Smart Colors better. Please read my other reviews.

Good DVD
This is a good DVD. My daughter likes it. She likes all the shapes and colors in the Brainy Baby Video and in the Galloping Minds 'Shapes and Colors' video. I recommend both.

Great DVD to teach Shapes and Colors
We started off with "Right Brain" on this series. After a few days we introduced my daughter (20 months) to Shapes and Color DVD. We must admit, this is an awesome DVD. Even better than the Right Brain! The narrator describes each shapes and colors very clearly and distinctly. My daughter after watching it for few days can now say red green blue (in her own pronounciation ofcourse) ! I would highly recommend this DVD. Along with this, you may also look into getting bright colored balls and objects. We bought five very bright colored foam balls from Walmart which also proved to be very valuable. Now she can relate to things shown in the DVD and things around her. Also there is a song in the DVD "I am sitting on green grass" which we thought was sooo peaceful and catchy that me and my wife are always humming it. :-D

school teacher and mom of 3
The thing that I like most about this video is that it doesn't just give the 'basic' shapes, colors, etc. but is well-rounded in that it encourages the child's brain to stretch beyond the usual and it 'grows' the child everytime they watch it. They see something 'new' everytime and are always asking to watch it 'Just one more time please Mommy?' This is sweet music to my ears!

like the fact that objects are named clearly
I am very impressed with the Brainy Baby videos we have tried so far (Shapes & Colors; English; Animals). My 16-mo-old is captivated by this Shapes & Colors video and I've been amazed by all the shapes she can identify (triangle, circle, square, rectangle, oval, heart, star, crescent). I'm not saying she learned all of this from this video; she's also learning from books, puzzles and our conversations in "everyday life." But what I like most about these Brainy Baby videos -- as compared to Baby Einstein -- is that they name the objects clearly as they show them. The BE videos we have tend to show objects along with nice music (and my daughter enjoys naming the objects as she sees them), but as she is quite interested in learning names for objects right now, I like the fact that these videos name everything. If your child likes you to read word/picture books or identify every object they see, these videos will probably be a great hit.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!
I love Brainy Baby products--they're all awesome! My 19 month old son knows most of his shapes and colors--just today he pointed out a "heart" on his sippy cup and a "circle" on a block.
He loves to watch this video, which is his second favorite after ABC's. It's positive, well done, and even fun for me to watch with him.
My favorite is how they combine ideas--when they introduce the color blue they change the background music to be the blues. Very well done.
I HIGHLY recommend this video--this series actually (ABC, 123, Animals) to anyone.
