This video is good, but it's not one of our favorites. It moves slow, the orchestra music isn't as upbeat and the character development isn't as fun as some of the other videos. My son (7 months old) enjoys the video but it doesn't hold his attention the whole way through. He gets a little bored with it and it's one of those repetitive videos (which we know, kids like repetitiveness so it serves its purpose well there) but an excellent video is one that even the adult can tolerate to listen to, over and over again. Come on moms, you understand! But it was money well spent and as my son gets a little older he will enjoy it more. There is alot he can learn from the video (me too, at that matter). There are alot of other children and adults in the video and babies do like that.
I bought this item because I have a one year old and a two year old. Neither one can express themselves very well yet. They are learning the signs already. What I really like is that our older children ages 6, 7, and 11 are also learning them - which helps the little ones. I think teaching sign language to young children is a great idea and the video is very helpful in teaching them. Thanks
The name "Baby Einstein" can lull you into thinking it's okay or even good for babies to watch t.v., but the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no television AT ALL to children under 2 because so many studies have proven its harmful effects on children. Studies have shown that: - for every hour of television a baby watches a day, their chances of acquiring an attention deficit disorder increases by 10%. - among babies ages 8 months to 16 months, every hour spent daily watching programs such as 'Brainy Baby' or 'Baby Einstein' translated into six to eight fewer words in their vocabularies as compared with other children their age." - brain wave activity in babies is slower when watching television than when sleeping. "Signing Time" (Two Little Hands Productions) DVDs is an excellent option for OCCASIONAL video viewing because communicating in sign language with your child is proven to: - reduce frustration and tantrums - accelerate language development - promote parent-child bonding Last thing for new moms - carrying newborn babies (in arms or next to body) an extra 3 hours a day resulted in 40% less crying. So carrying baby in a carrier or sling can help calm fussy babies!Read full review
Don' have anything bad to say about any of the five Baby Einstein dvds we own for our 2 children, under 3. I laugh when I read reviews like COHRUN. I can tell you that despite all the statistics etc. that Cohrun states I will tell you that before the age of two and earlier when my daughter started to watch these videos she new over 20 signs, was talking earlier than any of the her kids her age we met at play grounds etc. Her doctor was even amazed at the extent of her vocabulary, not just simple words like pretty, she would say exceptional, or gorgeous, beatiful and so on. I had moms come up to me and ask how old she was because of the words and signs she was using. I give a lot of credit to these DVDs. So when it comes to reading reviews as Cohrun I have a hard time with it because my children have had very positive out comes with watching their dvds. This and all the Baby Einsteins are wonderful! Just bought another one today, hopefully more!Read full review
We have purchased this DVD twice because we liked it so much! Our son decided to ruin the first one by trying to put it in the DVD player himself. Our kids (including toddler and baby) love this video. It keeps their attention for the full 24 minutes- long enough for the parents to hop into shower or take a nice break. The adults in the house don't mind the Baby Einstein music, and I think the way they present the content is well-done.
I'd highly recommend this DVD - my daughter learned how to sign within 2 days of watching it, and it really worked very well.

My babes love the Baby einstein videos and I was thrilled to see that there was a Beginning Signs video. We have watched it several times and the babies really pay attention to the different signs that they are doing in the video. It has a wider vocabulary, in sign, than we had been using and is a welcome learning tool. If you are serious about trying to teach your children sign, this is a great video. Also, a little side note, that actress that is deaf (I can't remember her name) is in the video doing the signs and she is really very animated for the kids. I give it an A++
This is an excellent DVD for infants and toddlers! It teaches the basic signs and repeats them many times which is effective for teaching young children. The puppets are adorable and I love how they use real people to teach the signs as well. Great DVD- highly recommend. Sign language is a great tool to increase young children's language skills and to decrease frustration while learning to communicate. Very engaging DVD!
Educational, yet fun for kids! :) I love watching my son laugh at the puppets.
