When my son was younger, we introduced him to the Baby Einstein series of CDs, DVDs, books, and toys. I am one of those parents that allow my son to watch a limited amount of carefully selected, age-appropriate television (and DVDs). My son is a happy, healthy little boy who is right on track with his developmental milestones. A lot of what we allow him to watch on television is content he would otherwise not be exposed to.
For example, we recently had an opportunity to preview Baby Einstein World Animal Adventure on DVD. Here is a little more information from the site:
World Animal Adventure DVD is the newest product from The Baby Einstein Company that brings exotic animals from all over the world home to babies, presenting dozens of playful animals in their natural habitats. Set to original world music specially orchestrated for little ears, the DVD includes fun baby animal puppet shows and animals from each of the seven continents. The DVD also presents a Grow with Me feature, offering a second viewing mode with content that changes as your baby grows so that you can get more out of the DVD.
As I do with other forms of media, I sat down with my son to watch this a few times over the last couple of weeks. He’s at an age where we’ve talked about many of the animals featured on the DVD. It was fun teaching him about some of the more exotic animals that we hadn’t had a chance to learn about yet. I like how the DVD takes you from country to country, showing you live animals in motion. It’s adorable when my son sees a mother and it’s baby. He makes sure to mention the “mama monkey and the baby monkey.” The music is jungle-esque and catchy. My son giggled at the puppet scenes but he much preferred watching the real animals…he was definitely fascinated! My son can name a ton of animals and we’ve just added to his repertoire, thanks to this DVD!
The DVD comes with a guide for parents on how to watch with your child. There are two, Grow With Me viewing modes, that allow younger children to watch the animals visually along with the music. The second mode, geared towards older children, incorporates text and spoken language (we viewed this version with my son).
If you’d like to keep up with the latest from Baby Einstein, you can follow them on Twitter, watch previews on their YouTube channel, and follow their blog.
World Animal Adventure DVD is available for purchase on the site for $15.99.
