VHS Movie Reviews of Baby Da Vinci: From Head to Toe (Baby Einstein) [VHS]Movie Review: My daughter and I both loved it! Summary: 4 StarsI loved the monkeys too! My 18 mo old daughter loved the puppets and is completely enamoured with the kids on the screen.
I like that there is little narration. It gives me the opportunity to reinforce the body part and point without totally competing with the TV. It allows us to interact more. When my daughter sees the catepilar come on, she shrieks with excitement. The DVD extras could be more generous. Overall this was an excellent kids DVD
Movie Review: Learning to speak without audio? Summary: 1 StarsThis is my first and only Baby Einstein DVD. I won't be buying another. Where is the narration? Are all Baby Einsteins this lacking?
First complaint - not enough narration. For each segment, the narrator speaks the body part one time in English, French, and Spanish, then repeats one time in English. Then we see about three minutes of images of that body part. The narrator speaks the word one more time. Then a puppet intermission, then the next body part. It's about four to four and a half minutes from the beginning of one segment to the next. During that time your child hears, "mouth, la boca, la bouche, mouth, , mouth." That's it. How can you learn to speak a first (or second) language without hearing it? How about a little repetition?
Second complaint: too few body parts. The back cover of my copy says it covers "head, shoulders, knees, toes, and more." I know that's a song title, but I thought we would move on to the stuff you don't hear all the time like teeth, knees, etc. No, you get just the basics: eyes, ears, mouth, nose, face, hands and feet. Thanks, but my child didn't need help on those. I can't believe that's it.
If you want to look at pictures of body parts with music, get this DVD. If you want your child to learn the names of body parts in English, skip this DVD and sing the song instead. If you want your child to learn body parts in French or Spanish, try Brainy Baby. It covers at least this many body parts plus many other topics. Its narration repeats each word several times and later reviews them in a different order.
Movie Review: Cute for 1year olds Summary: 4 StarsThis DVD is a big hit in our house although our daughter didn't seem as interested in it as she did with other ones from the series. Maybe because she already knew most of her body parts by then but I'm not sure. She really loved the puppets, they even make us laugh! Again, great for kids about one year old or so.
Movie Review: Just sold ours on eBay Summary: 2 StarsMy son got this as a Christmas gift last year along with Baby Neptune (which he loves). The first time we popped the DVD in he cried. For some reason he didn't like the monkey puppets at all and even after one year (he just turned two) he still doesn't like it. Otherwise it seems like a good video to introduce the basic body parts, but the monkey puppets were a no-go.
Movie Review: A must have Summary: 5 StarsMy 9 month old daughter is totally & completely mesmerized by this DVD. She warm up to Baby EInstein from the first day!!!Her favorite part is the Head Shoulders Knees & Toes sing-a-long and the puppet shows as well .... You won't be disappointed!!!!
