Product Description

Amazon.ca

Reaching beyond the basic rainbow and building-block primer, Brainy Baby: Shapes & Colors celebrates the many forms and hues that typical 1- to 4-year olds encounter in their everyday surroundings. A music video introduces the shapes portion of the show by focusing on edible triangles, circles, and crescents. A thorough, creative rundown of 11 shapes ensues, led by a helpful narrating voice that gently introduces words ("This is a circle"), asks simple questions ("How many rectangles do you see?"), and points out interesting sights. Halfway through the 40-minute program, a second music video gives viewers a chance to stretch, wiggle, and prepare to learn about 12 colors. Outstanding camera work captures imaginative footage outdoors and indoors, from preening pink flamingos to gleeful toddlers cavorting with foam shapes. The DVD also includes an interactive storybook, narrated by a child, to reinforce lessons learned; a video sing-along; and other parent/child activities. --Liane Thomas

5.0 out of 5 stars school teacher and mom of 3 April 1 2004
By "katiematie429"
Format:VHS Tape
The thing that I like most about this video is that it doesn't just give the 'basic' shapes, colors, etc. but is well-rounded in that it encourages the child's brain to stretch beyond the usual and it 'grows' the child everytime they watch it. They see something 'new' everytime and are always asking to watch it 'Just one more time please Mommy?' This is sweet music to my ears!

5.0 out of 5 stars like the fact that objects are named clearly Feb 19 2004
By P. Shontz
Format:DVD
I am very impressed with the Brainy Baby videos we have tried so far (Shapes & Colors; English; Animals). My 16-mo-old is captivated by this Shapes & Colors video and I've been amazed by all the shapes she can identify (triangle, circle, square, rectangle, oval, heart, star, crescent). I'm not saying she learned all of this from this video; she's also learning from books, puzzles and our conversations in "everyday life." But what I like most about these Brainy Baby videos -- as compared to Baby Einstein -- is that they name the objects clearly as they show them. The BE videos we have tend to show objects along with nice music (and my daughter enjoys naming the objects as she sees them), but as she is quite interested in learning names for objects right now, I like the fact that these videos name everything. If your child likes you to read word/picture books or identify every object they see, these videos will probably be a great hit.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT VIDEO! Jan 17 2004
By Laurra McGregor
Format:DVD
I love Brainy Baby products--they're all awesome! My 19 month old son knows most of his shapes and colors--just today he pointed out a "heart" on his sippy cup and a "circle" on a block.
He loves to watch this video, which is his second favorite after ABC's. It's positive, well done, and even fun for me to watch with him.
My favorite is how they combine ideas--when they introduce the color blue they change the background music to be the blues. Very well done.
I HIGHLY recommend this video--this series actually (ABC, 123, Animals) to anyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars great stimulation video
Probably one of the better baby videos out there. My baby likes the Right brain more than the left brain video, but both are definitely worth buying. Read more

The best video I've seen for introducing shapes and colors. The music is also terrific. I keep this video and "Singing Babies - Toddler Tunes" on top of the VCR. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Not too great
We just got this video, and we don't love it. We have Brainy Baby too. Brainy Baby is a bit clinical looking, and although
it has good intentions, it's not very creative. Read more
