Editorial Review: Product Description: The Brainy Baby series helps introduce important learning fundamentals to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers through a fun mix of live-action, animation, and music. This volume concentrates on right brain skills, including creative thinking, art, drawing, rhymes, and intuitive reasoning. Receommended for Ages 9 to 24 months Amazon.com: While there are many tapes designed to stimulate a baby's mind, Brainy Baby is unique in addressing left and right brain functions in distinct programs. Called "whole brain thinking," the theory is that if children are stimulated to use both sides of the brain--preparing them to think logically and creatively--they will become more adept at learning and problem solving. Capitalizing on this research, the folks at Small Fry Productions (makers of Bilingual Baby) have produced a two-volume set to develop the whole brain. Volume one helps stimulate the right brain, which research shows is the center for creativity, intuition, and imagination. To engage such processes, the program uses imagery (such as ink blots and clouds transforming into familiar objects), color recognition (by way of deliciously gooey paint), and patterns (from nesting shapes to 3-D objects). Unlike the So Smart! approach, there is enthusiastic narration during the 32-minute program and more variation between segments. Employing the so-called Mozart effect, the program utilizes classical music (believed to enhance a child's spatial intelligence) from impressionist era composers Debussy, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. Whether or not a parent is interested in the push to "develop a child's creative side for a smarter baby" (as the film's literature espouses), there is another compelling reason to consider the Brainy Baby series: pure enjoyment. Parents will get a kick out of watching their toddlers respond to the visual feast before them. And the accompanying classical melodies make it palatable for parents too. (For ages 6 to 36 months.) --Lynn Gibson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - My son just wasn't interestedMy son (18 months) wasn't interested at all in this video. I think it looks well made and interesting but my son still prefers the My Baby Can Talk video and Baby Einstein. Rating:  - My triplets love it!We have Right Brain and Left Brain. My triplets, who have very different personalities, liked Baby Einstein better when they were still in bouncers and crawling around. Now that they are toddlers at 22 mos, they've been enjoying Brainy Baby better. They still like Baby Einstein but since that only has music they just get the enjoyment of the pictures and music and such and the visual fun. With Brainy Baby, they are now learning because the narrator will say what's on the screen instead of just seeing ... Read More Rating: - Does not hold our attentionLet me start off by saying that I have higher degrees in art, art history, music, and Romance languages -- so I am an admitted "art snob." Having said that, I would recommend that you try the Baby Einstein "Baby Van Gogh, World of Colors" and "Baby Mozart" videos instead of this Brainy Baby video. I find this Brainy Baby video to be slow, boring, insipid, condescending, and visually uninteresting; I cannot wait to put in something else. Wait, you say, isn't this about the baby who is watching ... Read More Rating: - The DVD lives up to customer reviewsI bought this based on the customer reviews and had it for about one month now. My 8 month old absolutely loves it and remains engaged in the show most of the time. I notice how she enjoys the children and the puppets when they come on. I also have other Baby Einstein DVDs and the Brainy Baby series is so much better! I like how a woman narrates through the entire show so that my child is being taught visually and verbally. Baby Einstein is more about just listening to the music. I'm so glad I came ... Read More Rating: - We love Brainy Baby at our house. I just can't say enough good things about the Brainy Baby series of videos and toys. I have allowed my baby to watch one Brainy Baby video per day since he was about 6 months old. He loves them. And I love being able to have a few minutes to clean my kitchen. :) As soon as the Brainy Baby theme music comes on he starts to smile. He is captivated. I like them much more than the Baby Einstein videos. And the toys.......he LOVES them. "Hello, Brainy Baby!" They are the most loved and most ... Read More |
