Baby Einstein, Vol. 1 (Baby Bach / Baby Newton / Language Nursery / Baby Shakespeare) [DVD]

As a grandma who keeps my 14 month old grandaughter 2 nites a week, and who has trouble getting her down to nap and to sleep at night, I was amazed at how effective these videos were at both grabbing the baby's attention (it was like she was hynotized) and getting her sleepy enough to just lie down before the 30 min tape was over and go to sleep.My daughter had them and used them so I ordered them for myself. As I only had an old TV w/a VHS as part of the TV in the baby's room, I ordered the VHS tapes. My daughter has the DVD's. The TV must be placed so that the baby can see it from a sitting position in her crib. But they work like magic. There are 4 different 30 min tapes (or DVD disks if you order those) and they all use the same baby friendly format. I don't know yet for how long she will be mesmerized by these, but for right now, I can highly recommend them for their sleep inducing qualities.Baby Einstein Gift Pack Volume 1 (Baby Bach/Baby Newton/Baby Einstein/Baby Shakespeare)

We have the Baby Einstein Gift Pack volume 1, that includes 4 tapes - Baby Bach, Baby Newton, Baby Shakespeare and the Language Nursery. It has been a month since my 10 month old daughter started watching these. In fact, her TV time every day is pretty much just the Baby Einstein video time. She started out plainly surprised and it was not clear how she felt about them. Now she is much much more expressive...she loves them! She is actually seeing a lot of things that I teach her using a book. I think her reaction to the different moving colors, shapes and objects is very much along the lines of what effect it was intended to generate in a baby. I watch it with her every time and use it as a tool to teach her a lot of common things. Baby Newton and Baby Shakespeare are very educational. Baby Bach is a delight to watch for her and she particularly enjoys the music. However we did not quite relish the Language Nursery. For babies and kids, I think it is a little too early to hear so many confusing foreign noises, when they are actually still trying to communicate using one or may be two languages . Also, some videos overuse a few toys. There is a repetitive display of certain unappealing toys. Watching my daughter watch it every day, I am convinced that it is worth every penny. I would strongly recommend it to any parent who would like to teach and have some fun TV time with his/her baby.

Bought used, arrived with only minor dents in the cardboard box. They all work and my toddler loves them! Use them in our car on long road trips, and the shapes is his favorite!

I bought them when my baby was 5-6 mo. She loved a little bit them by then, especially baby newton. Her interest for the videos has kept growing, she is 13 mo now and she LOVES these videos, she pays lots of attention to each and every thing she watches. My baby has never had a pacifier into her mouth, but these videos have definetely been her pacifier all this time.I can't explain the emotion she feels when she watches me inserting the videocassette for her, she claps her hands, sings, dances, etc!The only video that she doesn't watch is baby einstein, I think it's a little bit boring for her, and has always been. But for my overall experience, these videos deserve an A+++. My money was very well spent.

The Baby Einstein gift pack is a great value. The box that holds the DVDs is damaged. The DVDs do not have any skips or scratches so that is a plus.

This product was shipped very quickly and we have had no problems with it so far! My 18 month old loves the Baby Einstein movies and this bundle was a great way to get a few differnt movies at one time, and for cheaper than doing it seperatly! The cases were a little worn, but nothing horrible and the DVDs have light surface scratches, but doesn't affect the movie at all! Overall, I am very happy with my purchase!

My 5 month old daughter loves the World Animals, and the Neighborhood Animals videos. She could watch them over and over! The Mozart video is good too, but she doesn't really care for the Van Gough one.
