Baby Einstein - Baby Van Gogh - World of Colors [DVD]

I bought the entire 10(or was it 12) pack of BE videos. It is such a waste- 60% of the content in each dvd comes from the other dvds. If I had 1 or 2 of them I would have been satisfied, but i feel as if I have basically 2 dvds worth of content on 10 discs. On to Brainy Baby!

My twins loved it.

The name Baby Einstein is a nice way to lull parents into feeling okay about their babies watching tv, but according to the American Academy of Pediatrics babies should not be exposed to television at all before theyre 2 years old! According to Time Magazine and the Boston Globe, ...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 actually slower when watching television than when *sleeping*, and yet another study shows that for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of having an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. (Example, 5 hours a day = 50% greater chance of ADD). I like William Sears advice that relationships, not things, make babies smarter. The easiest way to make babies smarter? Carry them in a sling, since it is proven to make them smarter because they are relating to you physically, emotionally, verbally, and visually. For more information carrying a baby in a sling see the Listmania list Natural Parenting for Babys First Year. Also, if you want to check the facts out for yourself you can start by google-ing television and baby studies.

Thank you for your honesty and a wonderful product for my baby girl

It looks like Im in the minority for my review on this one, but here it goes anyway. My daughter has been captivated by Baby Mozart, Beethoven, and then Old MacDonald and Neighborhood Animals. But she does not seem at all interested in this video. I thought it was interesting the way it presents art and colors. As she gets older and we talk about colors and she learns to identify the colors, this video may complement the educational experience. But until she can do this, it is back on the shelf.

We (and Rylees Mom) really dont lijke to have our granddaughter watch TV. However, this is one great video for children 2-4 years. It is exactly as described. My almost three year old granddaughter asks to see it again and again. I dont think you will be disappointed.

This DVD introduces colours in one of the most innovative ways I have seen. Each colour gets individual treatment, with videos of objects related to that colour, children wearing the colour, and best of all, an introduction to the paintings of Van Gogh. You cant ask for better in an educational tool. It would be most useful for children 1 and up, but the use of colour is so good that 7 or 8 month olds will probably also find it fascinating. Highly recommended for your childs video library.

I wish I would have kept the Einstein DVD collection. They were so well worth it. My son loved them each and every day I played the DVDs for him. They taught him a lot in preparation for learning in baby school.

It keeps her very entertained with colors, music, and sounds. Very educational and will definitely buy more from Baby Einstein!

I recently bought the Baby Einstein Van Gogh DVD (NEW) as a gift for my sons Easter basket. The DVD came shipped in a plain black DVD case- no pictures, no title, not one thing on the outside of the case. It also came unwrapped. No cellophane or plastic wrap at all. Theres no way to determine if this item is new or used, plus theres no way to tell what DVD it is when its sitting on a shelf as there is no labeling of any kind. Needless to say this would be an eye sore in my sons Easter basket. Not impressed.
