Expressive faces and the exploration of arms, legs, and other body parts simply fascinate babies and toddlers. From Head to Toe focuses in on eyes, ears, hands, and other appendages with rapidly changing, close-up photography of real-life children alternating with puppetry, toys, animals, and sculptures and paintings by famous artists. Accompanying the vivid images are whimsical versions of classical pieces by famous composers like Bach, Handel, and Corelli, made kid-friendly by the "Music Box Orchestra," as well as the traditional "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes." Baby Einstein videos are famous for this tried-and-true format that appeals to the limited attention span of very young viewers while encouraging cognitive development--the visual mix and pace in this presentation are especially effective. DVD features include language tracks in English, Spanish, and French; pictorial discovery cards with written and spoken words; an exploration of the five senses; puppet segments excerpted from the show; a read-aloud version of the book Mimi's Toes; and a listing of featured toys.

A complete and total hit!
My first experience with Baby Einstein videos was almost four years ago with my first daughter. Who screamed every time we tried to show her it. I ended up giving it away.

Fast foward to this year. My second daughter, who's 16 months old, has some developmental delays. After chatting with moms of other babies with delays and hearing how much their kids enjoyed Baby Einstein videos, I decided to give it a second chance. After staring at them all at the store, I chose Baby Da Vinci, as it talked about body parts and one of the milestones my daughter hasn't hit yet was the pointing to body parts one.

Well, first viewing - my older daughter, who just turned four, sat down and watched it. The toddler showed vague interest...until the monkey puppets came on. I thought she wasn't paying attention to it then suddenly heard her laughing hysterically at the monkeys. After a few viewings, she fell in love. Even my older daughter wants to watch the "monkey video" as we call it. My toddler is now waving (something the monkeys do), something we couldn't do after literally months of us encouraging her to wave to us and showing her how to wave. I also notice that she's become more vocal since she first watched this video. (I have noticed she's a huge fan of music, so maybe it has something to do with the music?)

And one other bonus - my toddler was cutting molars and woke up just unconsolable one night. Finally after a half hour of her crying and nothing working, I turned on Baby Da Vinci - as soon as the catapillar came across the screen, she calmed down! Anyone who's ever been up with a really unhappy baby can appreciate that!

Worst Release Yet
I have most of the Baby Einstein videos. The last 2 releases are the worst work yet. The latest video, Da Vinci looks like they spend 2 days on it, mastered it, and shipped it out. The bonus materials are a joke. The Puppet show, is a total of 3 x 10 second clips. The DVD plays repeated company branded intros with more plugs to their web site. The original videos were good, and now, it's obvious that it's just a cash cow for Disney/Julie Aigner-Clark, so the value has gone down the tubes. If you are new to these videos, start with the first ones like Mozart, where they actually cared about baby development. I would not recommend buying this new.

A MUST HAVE! A GREAT LEARNING TOOL!
My 11 month old loves this DVD. It catches his attention immediately, and will continue to mesmerize him throughout the entire show. The music is refreshing and the teachings are great and fun. I would recommend this to anyone. This is definitely a MUST HAVE!! -Brandi in Louisiana
