For those who haven't seen then, the Baby Einstein movies are a series of short (~30 minute) films that show worldly things from a baby's perspective (each film has a different topic). If you think Barney gets annoying after repeated viewings, these films will literally turn your adult brain to mush. That being said, the Baby Einstein films are like crack for my 18 month old -- I literally cannot more
For those who haven't seen then, the Baby Einstein movies are a series of short (~30 minute) films that show worldly things from a baby's perspective (each film has a different topic). If you think Barney gets annoying after repeated viewings, these films will literally turn your adult brain to mush. That being said, the Baby Einstein films are like crack for my 18 month old -- I literally cannot get his attention or drag him away from the television when they are on. The Baby Einstein company has tapped into "what babies want" apparently and give it to them in half hour doses. These films are great if you need something for your kiddo to watch while you get ready for work in the morning.Baby Neptune, one of the newest Baby Einstein videos, focuses on water, and the places a baby might encounter it. Starting with the ocean, then working through lakes, rivers, ponds, and eventually to water in the home (sprinklers and water hoses), the film mixes actual footage of water and fish with other presentations (puppets and toys).It's hard to tell whether or not my kid "likes" it, only whether or not he'll sit through the whole thing. He seems to enjoy the Baby Beethoven one better (focusing on music), but definitely likes this one more than Baby Shakespeare, which focuses on language. The kids learn while watching, and as I mentioned the films are really written from a child's point of view -- no complicated plots, just lots of imagery and funny sound effects.I'm guilt free about letting my kid sit in front of the television for half an hour watching these programs.
