My twins enjoy watching TV, so when we do have TV time, I always put on something educational to help them learn as they grow. We were sent two DVDs for review from Brainy Baby; Brainy Baby Shapes and Colors and Brainy Baby Laugh & Learn.
The Shapes and Color DVD is all about learning shapes and colors and our 16 month old twins are just captivated by this video. They love seeing the bright colors and once in a while when you ask them where the square is they will use their tiny little pointing finger to point out the correct shape. The video names the shapes as they show them so the twins can really learn.. some other similar videos I’ve tested out don’t seem to do this and I often wonder how kids can learn if the name and the shape or number don’t match up. I was quite impress with the Brainy Baby DVD.. and I love that the narrator describes each shape and color very clearly.
The Laugh and Learn DVD starts out with babies wearing silly masks and making funny faces, which our twins tried to mimic.. it was so cute! Then it goes on to colors, shapes, matching, guessing game, alphabets and numbers. It was a longer DVD but I just let it play and the twins would watch for a while then do their own thing and then come back to the TV when something caught their attention. The twins seemed to really enjoy this video, much more than any video we have showed them. They love dancing and laughing at the funny faces so it really keeps them entertained for longer than I thought it would.
I’m definitely a big fan of the Brainy Baby DVDs so far. I’ve told everyone we want anything Brainy Baby for them for Christmas. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who has a little one.
I am loving the Brainy Baby DVD’s as well! I started showing this to my 20 month old and she absolutely loved it. Its now her favorite video. I’ve even started bringing the video in the car with me for when we go for drives or road trips. It’s educational and keeps her entertained.
as a mother to my 1 year 3 mos old baby , i could say its really advisable to allow our baby to watch learning videos as early as 6 mos where they focused much of their attention on what they are watching . I let my baby watch eaducational videos at around 7 mos with less difficulty . But now that she turns one , she had little span of attention . Although i could observed my daughter is interacting while watching Brainy Baby .She nod her head , she smile , point and dance to familiar videos . As a mother , we put our best effort in her education . We go with our child as she learn day by day as we interact with them … Our interest now is a very good foundation of her education by developing their brain . Let them speak and communicate in a matter still acceptable at her age and be patient with our child .
I am, too! I love Brainy Baby and play the numbers and alphabet DVDs for my daughter. She really enjoys them and started repeating the numbers and letters after the DVD, so I was pretty thrilled.
I found a great set of all of them for a really good price on Amazon.com!
