Baby Einstein - Baby Wordsworth - First Words - Around the House [DVD]

As a counselor for families with young babies, I have had the opportunity to review a number of sign language resources for preverbal babies. This DVD seems more appropriate for older children rather than preverbal babies who are trying to communicate basic wants and needs. Some of the most important first words and signs for young babies are not offered - eat, drink, milk, more, etc. Instead this DVD offers words and signs such as computer, puzzle, clock, etc. In addition, there are no babies signing or speaking in this production and it lacks an appropriate tutorial for parents of hearing babies who are teaching their babies to use sign language. I recommend the My Baby Can Talk series to teach either sign language or first spoken words to babies.

My daughter loves all the other Baby Einstein movies; however this one is about like watching paint dry. After the first 5 minutes my daughter doesnt have any interest, and me personally I find it a totally boring. There are some things in the movie that are cute and make my daughter laugh, but those are very few and far between. If you are interested in baby sign language, I would strongly recommend Baby Signing Time. My daughter loves the baby signing time movies and when I put it on she comes running to watch them. Dont waste your money on Baby Wordsmith, I would recommend any other Baby Einstein movie.

My 3 year old Autistic son loves this DVD. He is learning some sign language as well as using some of the basic around the house words to show me in our home. My 1-1/2 year old daughter finds this video entertaining and tries to do the sign language as well. This is the best DVD from baby einstein yet. The others we really like are baby Noah, and baby Monet.

I highly recommend this video to anyone wishing to expand their toddlers vocabulary. My 15-month old picked up the words very quickly, and the video has helped us encouraged her to use words to express herself. There are a few words introduced that are quite difficult for a child her age to pronounce (computer, refrigerator, telephone, etc.), otherwise I would have given this video 5 stars.

Good

I like this video! I thought that it would be a little more up beat than it actually is! It plays slow songs, so when my baby watches this video she gets sleepy!

I purchased this when my son was approximately 10 months. He watched it a few times. I tried it again after he was 1 years old and he still didnt show any interest. I tried another one to see if I would get the same results and he still was not interested.

video I got is majorly scratched. havent been able to watch it

Fantastic to learn from for children! I love all of Baby Einsteins material.

I had hoped it would have more useful signs for my twin boys to use...They needed to know how to ask for more milk or more juice not the sign for a table and a chair. (...)
