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

I love this DVD. And so does my daughter. I have no idea how the Baby Einstein people do it, but the first day she was mimicking it and actually learning things, and she was glued to it. So it gave me some time to do other things. I bought several more and she loves them all.

My son, husband, and I really do not like this DVD because (unlike other Baby Einstein DVDs) this DVD is too focused on cheap looking computer animation. There are very few puppet scenes, and the ones they have are pretty quick and lack much depth. The music is pretty bad, too. I prefer the music of Baby Mozart or Baby Beethoven. This sounded synthetic and computer-generated, not real. I found this DVD to be boring and couldnt keep my attention or that of my son. My son (15 months) cant watch this entire DVD. He gets very bored and sick of the monotonous sign language instructions (which take up most of the DVD and are pretty fast in pace). I was underwhelmed and wish I hadnt purchased this DVD. It is not like previous BE DVDs. I suggest Baby McDonald, Baby Da Vinci, or Baby Mozart to those who wish to purchase a BE DVD.

Im a huge fan of Baby Einstein, having owned every DVD they have put out. This one, however, Im really not crazy about. While I understand the concept of basic household items combined with their coordinating signs, I feel they tried to jam too many items into their usual short video time, therefore not being able to have more time with the visuals, which is really what the children love. Take for instance, cat. You were shown the word, the picture and the sign. Then you saw two live cats and that was it. 2 seconds of visual. I know this video is for 1+ but my niece, who is 18 months and loves these videos, even had a hard time keeping interest. Great idea but they should stick to their original format which includes a little more time spent on examples and visuals for true comprehension.

My 14 month old has liked, I mean LOVED Baby Einstein since he was two months old. But he REALLY gets into Baby Wordsworth. I think its because it seems to be a little more advanced than the others and he recognizes things from around our house. He hasnt used any of the signs yet (weve had it two days) but I can already see him connecting what he sees in the video with things around the playroom, kitchen etc. I know he still loves his older ones but this one engages him in a different way. I do see how it may bore much younger babies but if your little is already a big BE fan then this is the perfect addition and a step in a more educational direction.

My son is 15 months old and loves most of the Baby Einstein DVDs that we have. This one doesnt seem to hold his interest as much as some of the others do. It is very educational with sections teaching him new words and how to sign those new words, but this section moves rather slowly and I think he likes the sections with the music and visuals better. His favorites right now are Baby Bach, Neighborhood Animals and Baby Neptune.

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old and has a speech disorder (her delay at the time of this writing is about 12 months). She is talking a lot more lately and signing less but still found this DVD interesting. She is not the only toddler I have heard of recently who has learned not only new signs from this DVD but actual verbal words. I have had to specifically teach her most of the words that she now speaks but after viewing this DVD she spoke words that I have previously tried to get her to say (i.e., clock, cup, couch, etc.) and failed! I also appreciated the variety of signs presented as well. There are so many baby signing DVDs on the market today and a lot of them show the same basic signs - which is perfectly fine, as children need to start somewhere, and there are a certain amount of signs that most children start with. But within the 25 signs shown on this DVD were ones she hadnt been exposed to, which prompted her making the sign as well as speaking the word. I hope this DVD brings signing with babies a lot more exposure, because I think that it is such a wonderful thing to start with children.

First my grandson (who is now six) and now my 13-month-old granddaughter love Baby Einstein and watch them all the time. I ordered this one to add to the collection and was not disappointed. She loves this one as well. Excellent teaching and learning while being entertained at the same time. A winning combination!

Worked perfectly fine! This was still a good buy just a few more scratches than expected. I’m a stickler for that kinda stuff though.

I bought this DVD from overstock.com on sale, and I am very please with the mork made, the only thing is that there are some boring parts in the video and my son will leave the room sometimes, and only comeback when he knows that the puppets are gonna start acting. he just loves all the puppets and their funny shows, he will laugh and even dance all crazy when the cat and the mice are playing the piano (Its his favorita part) About the signing part, i have learned most of the signs, but he hasnt yet, i know it takes a little time, but this made me be more interested in sign language so i bought My baby can talk: first signs and i am still waiting for it to arrive. I recommend this video to anyone, it is very fun for babies

This was by far the best Baby Einstein dvd out of all the ones I bought!My kids liked this one the most but it also has sign language & both of my children learned about a dozen signs right before my eyes!I highly recommend this dvd to all parents
