"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."
Great teacher

"My 22 month old has been watching this video frequently over the last several months. He now knows his shapes and several colors - just on the basis of this video - one of his first words was "oval" followed closely by "star", "circle", "square" and "heart". "Purple", "red" and "yellow" also popped up. These were spontaneous responses to these shapes and colors seen apart from the video. Since I hadn't worked with him on these, I am sure the video was the primary teacher. It is not "action packed" the way Sesame Street videos are. Rather, it is very repetitive, showing the same concept in many different ways. My little boy will sit through the whole thing time after time, although children with shorter attention spans may lose interest more quickly."
Great DVD to teach Shapes and Colors

"We started off with "Right Brain" on this series. After a few days we introduced my daughter (20 months) to Shapes and Color DVD. We must admit, this is an awesome DVD. Even better than the Right Brain! The narrator describes each shapes and colors very clearly and distinctly. My daughter after watching it for few days can now say red green blue (in her own pronounciation ofcourse) ! I would highly recommend this DVD. Along with this, you may also look into getting bright colored balls and objects. We bought five very bright colored foam balls from Walmart which also proved to be very valuable. Now she can relate to things shown in the DVD and things around her. Also there is a song in the DVD "I am sitting on green grass" which we thought was sooo peaceful and catchy that me and my wife are always humming it. :-D"
Best For Teaching Shapes & Colors!

"I'm not sure that the viewers who are rating this video one star are really watching this video. More importantly, I don't think that they are assessing what their children are learning from this video. This video not only entertains but also teaches, which in my experience has been hard to find in this type of tape. My 2-year-old daughter as well as her 3-year-old cousin were totally captivated from the moment that I hit play. I don't know why any parent would give this video a poor rating. It's an awesome learning tool! Much better than the other garbage out there with weird animation and lack of educational content!"
Great for shapes and colors!

"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. These two have great educational and musical benefits. They are also the only ones my fifteen month old girl reaches for again and again."
