Summary: very good, entertaining and well done
Review: Baby Van Gogh is very well done. My 8 months old daughter loves it. She started to enjoy this video now. I think Baby Mozart and Baby Bach can be enjoyed by younger babies but Baby Van Gogh is definitely a great video for 7 months and older. Even I enjoy it. It has good and fun music and it teachs colors in a very cute way. The puppets do a very good job on this video! I recommend Baby Van Gogh 100%.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great for Infants to Pre-Schoolers.
Review: Both my son and daughter, now aged 2 and 4 watched this from the time they were infants in VHS format. I am now buying the DVD version, because still love this video. At first I was afraid that it would not hold their attention because it wasn't Sesame Street or Barney, but they consistantly sit from beginning to end, unlike when they watch Barney.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Never bored with watching
Review: My daughter and I run a home daycare business. The kids watch all the Baby Einstein videos. They NEVER get bored with any of them, just may argue which one to watch. And after all the kids go home, my grandson wants to watch one again. He goes into our bedroom and he knows how to put the tape into the vcr. He figured it out at 18 months of age, by trial and error. Now at two years, he knows which one by the cover he wants to watch. All the daycare kids are picking things up from the videos. Saying what they see. They all like the music and sound effects. Some of their moms have bought a few of the videos so their child can enjoy them at home with mommy and daddy. Thanks Julie for making learning fun and enjoying at the same time.

Summary: One of our favorites!
Review: We own three of the Baby Einstein videos (Van Gogh, Shakespeare & Doolittle Neighborhood Animals). Baby Van Gogh and Baby Shakespeare and definitely favorites of our two 25 month olds.

These tapes changed my mind about video viewing in general. In the past I was very anti-video. The great thing about these tapes is our kids do not sit in front of the TV like zombies, mezmerized. They jump around, mimic words in the tapes, name objects they recognize, etc. I was surprised at how interactive they are with Van Gogh and Shakespeare.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either one of these tapes!

Summary: Delightful for a Wide Range of Ages
Review: Although I bought this DVD for my one year old daughter, at first it was my 4 year old who seemed most captivated by it. The older requested it ("for the baby") at least once a day, and the younger has been more intrigued with each repetition. She recently followed my husband around the house with the DVD remote control until he turned it on for her. The music and images are pleasant, not in the least annoying for parents who end up viewing and listening repeatedly. What I like best about this one in the series is how it is broken into segments linking a primary color and a specific work of Van Gogh. My older daughter instantly recognized Starry Night, which we have in our home, and Vase with 14 Sunflowers, which she has seen at preschool. This video/DVD works as a stimulus for mental development, and as an early exposure to classic art. Kudos to Julie Aigner-Clark -- again!

Summary: BEST BABY TAPES EVER
Review: I JUST BOUGHT THE BABY EINSTEIN TAPES-INCLUDEING THE VAN GOGH, FOR MY 10 MONTH OLD GRANDSON AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY HIS REACTION! HE SAT GLUED TO THE TV WATCHING EVERY BIT OF IT AND "DANCED" AND LAUGHED THRU THE WHOLE TAPE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. ALTHOUGH THE TAPE SAYS FOR 1-4YRS. AT 10 MONTHS I HAVE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING BETTER !!! ALL THE BABY EINSTEIN TAPES ARE WORTH 10 TIMES MORE THEN YOU PAY FOR THEM.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great fun for baby!
Review: My baby is almost four months old, and the first time she saw this DVD she was fascinated. She watched the entire "theater" portion from start to finish! The images and sounds fascinated her. The one downside is that the fast forward and skip functions don't seem to work, so you can't watch part of the section in one viewing and part later. Still, this is a great value.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An excellent series
Review: Well, to be frank, I prefer Baby Mozart as well -- but my 1-year-old daughter is even more enraptured by Van Gogh than by Mozart. When she hears the opening music, she comes from anywhere in the house, and plunks right down. I have to admit that I find it rather soothing, and enjoy watching it with her. She is becoming aware that we have a print in the den that is pictured in the video. She thinks that's pretty cool...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not a 30 minute video, I'm afraid
Review: While all the Baby Einstein videos clock in under 30 minutes, this one is the worst, essentially lasting only 23 minutes. The rest of the video identifies the children and the puppeteer featured, and briefly shows the Van Gogh paintings once more. What content there is is nice, and my toddler does watch it, but it would be better if it actually lasted the 30 minutes stated on the cover.

As many have noted, the Baby Mozart tape is the best one this company makes. However, one plus is that there are fewer toys on this tape and more real world images. Thus, you don't get the sense that your child is seeing an extended toy commercial.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another great video from Baby Einstein
Review: This is one of the best videos for older children in the Baby Einstein series. Led by a puppet character named Vincent Van Goat, children are introduced to art and colors. Van Gogh paintings are selected with predominant color themes and then the video shows various items of each respective color, including having all the children dress in the color. As always, there are puppet skits and toys, only in this presentation, they all follow the color motif. There are also original poems and arrangements of classical musical pieces.

I highly recommend this video as an addition to your Baby Einstein collection for children two years old and up. If you don't have a Baby Einstein collection, start one today. They are wonderful, culturally enriched learning experiences for your child that they can start watching from birth through the toddler years.
