Baby Einstein - My First Signs [DVD]

From a recent study- These products had the strongest detrimental effect on babies 8 to 16 months old, the age at which language skills are starting to form. The more videos they watched, the fewer words they knew, says Christakis. These babies scored about 10% lower on language skills than infants who had not watched these videos.

Awesome tool for helping itty bitties learn to communicate!

My granddaughter has nearly all of the baby Einstein series and this is her favorite

My son loves this video, and he immediately started to mimic the signs. There is a good assortment of basic signs used in the video. Overall it is a wonderful video, but I wish that they had included some other basic signs that we have been working on with him.

Hi Everyone, my son is 4 months and this video really engages him. I actually looked at several different videos online before choosing this one. I liked the adorable puppets, and was not disappointed. Actually a friend had recommended this video to me, and my son was getting bored, so I gave it a try. He loves watching this and I can almost hear his cogwheels turning. You will be glad you got this, it gives you some peace of mind that you arent wasting his brain cells by putting him/her in front of a tv.

As an absolute beginner I like this video which helps put pictures and motions with the most basic signs (as opposed to flash cards). Keeps my 8 month olds attention. Only wish this company had made more or made this longer.

My daughter (17 months) LOVES this video. After watching 3 or 4 times in a month, she knows most of the signs taught in the video. Recommended for anyone with a small child or baby.

DVD box was missing the tabs to lock case closed, and the DVD was scratched, and would freeze within first 4 mins of trying to play.

My daughter is 10 months old. I bought this DVD earlier today because were going on a trip where well be in an airplane and I wanted a DVD to entertain her during the flight (without sound). Baby Einstein products (i.e. play mat) have been a good standby and Ive been trying to use sign language, so this seemed like a good choice. This evening she has been very sick with a stomach virus (she threw up 4 times today) so I caved and popped the DVD in instead of waiting until the flight since shes just been laying in my arms. She is usually not a cuddler and is very active (already walking). Much to my amazement, I was rewarded by laughter *every* time the puppets made an appearance! I give the DVD 5 stars just for making this very sick gal laugh. Also, it seems to cover the most useful signs (milk, eat, more, bath, sleep, mommy, daddy, ball, story, baby) and I like the way they repeat the signs and show different images of people/babies/children signing followed by the thing they are signing about. Seems like a good learning DVD, especially if you watch it with your baby and use the signs and say the words during the DVD as well as during the day with context.

Actually it came broken. So my grand daughter could not use it.
