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

Kept our 13 month old engaged through the whole program. Our 5 year old was learning sign language by watching it too. Totally worth it.

This is one of my favorite Baby Einstein videos. My 10 month old son loves the Baby Einstein puppets; he smiles and laughs every time they come on the screen. And fortunately, this DVD is full of the puppets. I really like that sign language is incorporated into it as well. Even if baby doesnt catch on to it right away, Ive definitely learned a lot, and have used lots of the signs on an everyday basis. I find some of the Baby Einstein DVDs to be a little boring, but this one is really entertaining and actually keeps my interest, mainly because of the signing.

I love to use this dvd with my one year old son. I treat it like a lesson and sit down with him, explaining everything on the screen. The music and colors on the screen really keeps his attention.

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 son was speech delayed, but could pick up sign language very quickly. He learned every word on this dvd within a few weeks of watching, and we were communicating. He loved it! We didnt start watching until he was around 17 months, though; I am not sure how appropriate they are for very young babies. For my son, they served a great purpose.

love it

My kids just love this DVD. The music is typical of BE. I was also able to fast forward/skip through all of the commercials. So if you love Baby Einstein, this is a definate must have!

I like Marlee Matlin and some of the other DVDs in the Baby Einstein series so was looking forward to this one. It is unfortunately not that great for teaching sign language (I prefer both My Baby Can Talk and Signing Time). The worst part of it is how long a child has to wait for the actual content; there is no way to skip the COMMERCIAL for Disneys Little Einsteins!

Excellent DVD for my little girl

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.
