Baby Einstein - Baby Van Gogh - World of Colors [DVD]

I have read that there is a study saying that these videos are harmful to a childs development however I have done a study of my own so to speak. My son who is turning 7 next month has been watching these videos since he was a newborn (baby van gogh and galileo are were favorites) and he is doing above average in school. I cant say its due to him watching these videos but I can say they have not harmed my children! My 5 year old also watched these and has been writing letters and spelling out words since he was 2. I think these videos are helpful in teaching children. I wouldnt stick them in front of them all day everyday but they are a good supplement to you teaching your children. I love this video myself, its cute and it doesnt annoy you even when they want to watch it over and over. The little blue goat cracks me up!

The Baby Einstein products are wonderfully visual videos/DVDs set to classical music with a baby flare... our personal favourite is Baby Van Gogh. This video is hosted by adorable and humorous Vincent Van Goat. There are 6 masterpieces dedicated to six colours. Each masterpiece is begins with showing the spelling of the colour and the whole set is accompanied with classical music with a flare that will appeal to youngsters. Each colour is narrated with a poem dedicated to that colour. Little viewers see each colour in many contexts - in nature, at home, on toys and art. This highly sensory experience is sure to delight and stimulate any precious mind. The recommended ages are 1-4 years...

My two-year old daughter is very particular about what she will actually sit and watch. She loves this DVD and I really dont mind it so much either. The pictures and music are great and she is really learning her colors. I highly recommend most of the Baby Eistein products but I particularly like this one.

I was disappointed with the video itself. Baby Einstein is highly recommended which is why I chose to purchase this video along with other Baby Einstein videos. I tried to watch this with my son and I can honestly say I do not blame him for not wanting to watch it.

I have to say that any of the dvds I have purchased from Baby Einstein are pretty much a hit with my son. It is rare that he sits still for a dvd, but he always does for these. This is a very cute dvd with fun puppets & beautiful colors all with classical music in the background. Great learning tool for teaching colors.

After reading the reviews on Amazon I decided to purchase this video for my 15 month old son. We recently purchased a vehicle with a DVD player and let me say this video is a life saver. Imagine driving in the car every day with a child that screams his head off. Not for any reason, but he hates to be strapped down. This video actually holds his attention, which is minimal to say the least, and a happy baby equals a happy mother.

great dvd

We have a number of the Baby Einstein videos in our home, but Baby Van Gogh is our hands-down favorite. There are a number of segments on each of the basic colors, showing toys and nature photography that feature those colors. There are children also illustrating the colors (a little girl holding a lemon, boys holding a blue umbrella, etc.). Some of the other Baby Einstein videos feature only girls in live-action shots, but Baby Van Gogh has an even mix of boys and girls. I doubt my son really cares one way or the other, but I liked that aspect. The music featured in this video/DVD is also impressive. There are selections from some classical favorites like the William Tell Overture or Bolero. Its nice to have some variety, as opposed to an entire video of Bach or Mozart. Another thing that impressed me about this video is the artwork they use to further illustrate certain colors. For each color, they have a different painting by Van Gogh (Starry Night for blue, Sunflowers for Orange, and so on). This video brings together so many different aspects and blends them together seamlessly: art, nature, music. At the end of the video, there is also a segment that details the toys shown throughout the program and their manufacturer. So in case youre impressed with any of the items featured, you can buy them for yourself. Truly, this video more than any other provides a complete Baby Einstein experience. Its sure to be a favorite in any home.

I was hesitant to show my daughter this DVD that she received for her first birthday because of all the studies showing that TV/screen time is harmful for children under two. One day I decided to watch it with her, and I am glad I did! It is not fast-paced, as I feared, and most of the items they show are recognizable, every day objects in a childs world. At the time I showed it to her (about 14 mos.), she was in a phase where books no longer held her interest, but she watched this 30 min. video from start to finish without getting distracted. She was not zoned out either though, which I was watching for, but just really interested in what she saw and heard. The only criticism I have is that the DVD is not verbal enough. They say each color only twice and outside of a couple poems, there is not much language at all. Since English is a foreign language where we live, I really wanted her to get more reinforcement from the DVD. On the other hand, this lack of language forces me to watch the DVD with her each time so that I can say the color several times and describe what we see on the screen with words... which is probably the idea behind the program, anyway!

My son is now 1 year and 11 month old, from his very early time, about 3~4 month old, we began to introduce Baby Einstein series to him. He could not without the shows later, averagely watch 3~4 hrs per day. Now he is nearly two years old, but could not even speak out 6~8 words, much late than my friends son (the same age), my brothers daughter and my sisters son (compare them at the same age). I become to suspect if the Baby Einstein shows do benifit younger babies. The shows seldom speak, mostly music or silence. I really regret that my son spend too much (one and half year) on Baby Einstein. listein to me, talk with you baby, NOT let the Baby Einstein do that.
