Baby Einstein - Numbers Nursery, Just fabulous.......2007-06-03

Baby Einstein is a wonderful line of videos to help aid in your child's development. Get them off to a very good start with these videos, and this special one, Baby Einstein - Numbers Nursery. Get them well on the way to a successful future now! Don't wait!

Great entertainment and learning for my 18 month old.......2007-05-17

I highly recommend any Baby Einstein videos. My daughter loves them all, although I've never been able to watch any of them for any length of time. My daughter has never been a tv watcher, but since introducing her to these videos she has been very focused on what they teach. My daughter has a vocabulary of a 3 year old and also uses more sign language than I know myself because of some of the other (B.E.) videos. I've incorporated these into my preschool readiness program in my daycare. My families are always asking to borrow a disk to take home and it's been a joy being able to share these with others. I would give this product a 10 if I could! Enjoy!

not complex enough and mistake on french track.......2007-01-06

I buy these dvd's mainly to teach my chidlren french since we don't get french tv.
so two points. i agree with other reviewers about the limit of numbers. my sons are two year old twins who can already count to fifteen. Five seems too easy at this point.
as for the French track. get better QA for your dvd's because a poem that states a cow is flying in the sky and then shows a horse is not an acceptable mistake. My children know the difference between a cow puppet and a horse puppet, even with a hat.

What were they thinking?.......2006-10-20

It is clear the producers are not experts in common sense. Why in the world would they use dounuts, cookies and cupcakes as examples in teaching counting? It's hard enough to keep kids away from this junk without glorifying it and showing a kid under two eating a cupcake on screen. That is just stupid. But other than this absurd oversight and irresponsbility, the disk is engaging and interesting for kids.

Better than most of their collection, but not great.......2006-08-31

I got this at a consignment store for about $3, and that's the right price for it. I think this is among the best of the Baby Einstein collection, but thats not saying much. I did notice that this one (unlike many others) was actually designed with the help of a developmental psychologist. Finally! As a result, it has a better structure, good pacing, and makes a better attempt at concept reinforcement than the other BE products. As is unfortunately typical among Baby Einstein, they make mistakes that interfere with the concept development, or add content that is only minimally related to what they are supposedly trying to teach. Buy BE because it has pretty music and pictures, but don't be fooled by BE marketing that your child will learn from them. I do think this one is entertaining but would not get it for a child over 12 months.If you're purchasing something educational for your child, stick with Sesame Street DVDs. The Children's Television Workshop does a far superior job of actually teaching as well as entertaining.

Product Description

Baby Einstein Language Nursery Video The Baby Einstein Language Nursery video acquaints your baby with the sounds of foreign language. The Language Nursery video presents delightful, visually stimulating images accompanied by spoken passages, natural sounds and music. The Language Nursery video includes nursery rhymes sung by mothers in their native languages of English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The Language Nursery teaches both children and parents the joys of learning another language.

If you've been around babies in the last few years, you've seen these newfangled toys that are abstract in color (or just black, white, and red) and make curious, crunching noises. Studies have shown that these types of toys stimulate newborns, expanding the capacity of their little sponge-like minds. That concept comes to the video age in Baby Einstein. This 30-minute tape is called a "video board book" and the creators instruct parents of 1- to 18-month-olds to use it that way: huddle around the TV often pointing out objects and interacting with the child as you would with a book. Bright toys, patterns, blocks, and the like move across the screen accompanied by natural sounds, music, and voices. English, Japanese, Russian, German, and other languages are heard telling nursery rhymes or counting to 20. Now the creators don't expect your baby to recite "Humpty Dumpty" in Spanish by the end of the tape, but, as they state in the introduction, hearing different languages invigorates a baby's mind. These educators went on to combine classical music with their program on Baby Mozart and Baby Bach. --Doug Thomas

Great idea, well presented--KEEP DOORS OPEN FOR YOUR BABY.......2007-05-29

As other reviewers have mentioned, this is NOT a language-learning program. Your child will not learn any of the languages presented in the video by watching this, not is s/he likely to be "smarter" for the experience.

What you ARE doing is keeping doors open for future language learning. Remember, this video is made for infants. Beore 6 months of age, infants are able to hear all phonemes (basically, sounds) in any language in the world. After that critical age (and note how young it is!), babies begin to lose this ability.

So no, your baby Einstein, haha, will not learn German from this video. But should he decide to learn it later on, and you continue to expose him to the sounds now and then, he'll have the mental tools to learn to speak accentless German.

Note: I have a master's from Georgetown University in Spanish Linguistics, as well as my own 4 month old son. Though I have studied the documentation for these claims about critical periods for language learning, I always had my secret doubts about what infants really knew. I can tell you from personal experience now that my son prefers people speaking English and Spanish to any other lanugage. Even when he's crying, when the English or Spanish parts of the video come on, he stops and looks at the TV, but does not do this for any of the other lanugages! I'm astonished.

My son LOVES this DVD.......2007-03-29

My son has LOVED this DVD since he was one month old and now he is 18 months. At such a young age, babies are captivated by certain images and sounds, and this DVD has it all. I don't feel it deserves the bad reviews parents give. If babies could vote they would give it a 5 star all the way!!

this is a great dvd for your BABY - not for ADULTS, folks. Duh. .......2007-03-22

I agree with a previous reviewer who stated that the negative reviews of this DVD are from parents/caregivers who are evaluating it on their own enjoyment and/or understanding of it. Of course it's going to be boring or confusing to an adult or even to an older baby. The point of the Language Nursery video ISN'T to teach an infant how to speak the languages that are used on it...it's just supposed to expose them to the different sounds being spoken. The concept here is the same as when you read your child a book or play a DVD for them in English - exposure to the different sounds used to communicate = stimulation/development. That said, I don't think any of the Baby Einstein DVDs actually encourage development at all. That's why the AAP recommends no TV viewing till they're at least 2. These DVDs are nothing but a quick distraction for when you have to have 2 hands to fold laundry or mix their cereal up. Period. This is my daughter's favorite B.E. title, we have a few others. The gentle pictures and music are something she is absolutely glued to the entire time. And that allows me to get something else done for 20 minutes. If you're looking for this DVD to accomplish something else, you're going to be disappointed. I haven't seen one baby yet who is at least 1 month old who doesn't like this one, and hopefully that's endorsement enough. We're at 6 months and she still loves it.

Think Again.......2007-06-16

My son has been watching the Baby Einstein video series since birth and at the age of two and a half, he is speech delayed and is actively in speech therapy. I think there is a correlation between the Baby Einstein videos and speech delay and sensory development. My son is intelligent, but is not expressive in speech. He understands but cannot express himself with words. The speech therapy is working but we will be in therapy until he is at the level he should be for his age. I also think there is a issue with sensory development. He is my second son and I never had issues with my first son who is now nine and back then Baby Einstein videos were not around. He watched Barney, Sesame Street, and other cartoons that used actual words and communicate dialog between two or more people and not so much sensory fluff. Take caution because I read one review that talked about autism and speech delay being an epidemic in the last five years. I think research needs to be conducted about the effects of Baby Einstein videos on baby and toddler development. If anyone else recognizes this problem or would like to write back, please email me directly at falina@sbcglobal.net

Baby Einstein DVDs are the best!.......2007-05-13

I have a 14 month old daughter who loves all the Baby Einstein DVDs. She watches them while she's playing with her toys and it seems to calm her down. Babies just love these DVDs, for whatever reason!

Got these as a gift and..........2006-08-11

we (me, my husband and my daughter) all love them. She is 7 mos. old now, has been watching about 1 per day for 3 mos. It gives me time to make myself some toast and a cup of tea in the morning or me and my husband 20 min. to eat our dinner together and discuss our day. I know the instructions say to interact with your little one while they're watching so occasionally I'll verbalize the object, the color or describe what the children on the video are doing. I find that she is enthralled with the puppet shows on the bonus feature on the main menu...also like the multi-lingual option as they say its good for little ears to hear different languages, sounds etc. One suggestion I have is to first preview them from the local library. There are a few that I've gotten from there that she's just not that into! Now I know and it saved me a few bucks too! Overall, I would recommend these but would hesitate in giving them to someone who may use the "Repeat Play" option-if you catch my drift!

mediocre programs.......2006-08-07

My daughter Kelsey (1 year and 8 month) owns about 12 of these Baby Einstein DVD's (gift pack 1,2,3). She is not a fan. I don't think she ever watched any of those DVD in its entirety. I find that, regardless of the "age guidelines" on the Baby Einstein videos, there are a lot of overlapping and simple "scenes" with shots of plastic toys that never really facinated her. As I watch plenty of children videos nowadays, I do feel the Baby Einstein series are comparatively boring and repetitive. The whole series just appear cheap and simplistic.

Obviously every child is different and Baby Einstein seems to work great for most parents, but I would strongly suggest buying only ONE dvd at a time to see how yours react instead of buying too many in one go like I did. My daughter loves the Wiggles and will sit through...no, rather, dance through, the whole DVD. She also like Barney so I know she will watch children programs if we give her the right one.

A Great Learning Tool!.......2006-07-24

My 10 month old grandson LOVES this set. It holds his attention for the entire duration. I'll be buying more!
