VHS Videos: Baby Mozart Video

Average Rating:

Rating: - Wonderful! My son loves it!
What a wonderful realization of an old idea--playing classical music for infants and toddlers in order to stimulate their growing minds. The music is set to colorful visual imagery--toys, flowing colors, puppets, etc., and is a perfect mix of bubbly, fun tunes and more traditional classical pieces. There's a sense of playfulness and humor to the video; parents will love the way it catches a child's attention without being overbearing, patronizing, or excessively cute. It's educational in a gentle, entertaining way, with some good options on the DVD to enhance the experience (the flash cards are great). My son can be in the middle of an ungodly tantrum, and will IMMEDIATELY calm down when this is played. Heck, this is the only thing he'll sit still for! Recommmended to parents who wish to educate their infants and toddlers but don't care for Barney (NOT allowed in our house!) or the many other condescending videos designed for that age group. The whole series--Baby Mozart, Einstein, Van Gogh, etc.--is highly, highly recommended.

I heard about Baby Einstein products from friends, but did not become interested until I learned of the company's dedication to providing financial support to MANY children's charities such as the Autism Society of America, Ronald McDonald House, The Eden Institute, a leading school for educating autistic children, and a host of other organizations committed to children with special needs. I now own several Baby Einstein videos and most of the companion books - they are excellent educational tools.

Additional recommendations - "Baby Shakespeare," "Baby Van Gogh," "Baby Dolittle Neighborhood Animals," also, Richard Scarry's "BEST" videos are excellent for children 1 year and up.
