Summary: Baby Da Vinci
Review: Another great product from the Baby Einstein company. I am so thrilled with their children's materials. This video is a great learning tool and entertaining. My son actually pointed to my ear the other day after watching this video. I sing the head, shoulders, knees and toes with the video and do the movements and he really is starting to get the body parts. We have purchased many kids videos for my son, as well as being given videos as gifts. Most videos he gets bored with or wont watch at all, but, so far he has loved almost all the Baby Einstein vdeos. This one is a definate must to any toddler's collection.

Review: I have all the Baby Einstein DVDs. Regarding the last two releases: My son did not care to much for Baby McDonald the first few times I played it for him, however it eventually grew on him. Baby Da Vinci was an immediate hit for him. I am in the process of teaching my 18 month old his body parts so I think the DVD had meaning for him. I look forward to Baby Noah being released in October.

Summary: The worst of the series
Review: I strongly suggest not to buy this item. My kids love all the others but not this one. So far the length of it is the longest but full of boring scenes. My daughter is such a baby Einstein fan that I almost bought all their products from books to DVDs, but she won't sit to watch it from beginning to ending the very first time. It's completely a waste of money. Seems they don't have any new ideas to attract young viewers.

Summary: Get up and dance
Review: I usually don't let my 15 month old daughter watch TV, but when she is sick, I put in DVDs to keep her from lying there thinking about how horrible she feels. I bought her this DVD when she had a bad cold. One day when she started feeling better, the head, shoulders, knees and toes song came on. She saw the children dancing and she got off the couch and started to mimic their moves! I was totally impressed. Maybe some TV isn't so bad for them after all....

Summary: Good overall
Review: My 10 month old has been hooked on Baby Einstein since he was about 4 months old! His first was Bach. Then Mozart, Beethoven, Mc Donald, and now Da Vinci. Each of them has one part that I usually have to fast forward through because they make him fidgety. However, I use these videos to get him to sit still and eat. I sit him in his highchair and for the 25 minutes (on average) the videos are on, he's completely mesmerized and opens his mouth without any fidgeting except with this particular video he fidgets a little when they draw the body parts. Otherwise, it's a great sing-along for parents too, and a good teaching mechanism for the body parts.

Review: 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

Summary: Loved this Video
Review: My 2 year old loves all of her Baby Einstein movies...we have all of them. Still at the age of 2 she is facinated by all the different scenes in each video. She loves Baby Da Vinci. She sings along with it...head, shoulders, knees and toes. She would only watch this one if I would let her. I strongly recommend this one for your toddler.

Summary: The Best One Yet!
Review: My daughter has been enjoying Baby Einstein videos practically since day one. When she was just a couple on months old, my husband would use them to put her to sleep in her bouncy seat when I was not home. Now that she is almost 9 months old, we bought her this one (her fist one that is not for birth and up). We put it in for her to watch and left the room while it was on, so that she could calm down before going to sleep for the night. We heard laughter from the room, and peeked in on her and she was cracking up at the puppets making noises and laughing! It was so cute, I almost cried! Everytime one of the puppet shows came on, we could hear her delight.

I highly recommend all of the Baby Einstein videos that we have. (Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Language Nursery)

Summary: A complete and total hit!
Review: 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!

Review: My grandson, 15 months old, lost interest every time the hand drawings started. I understand that the "Da Vinci" in the title would imply that there are drawings, but it would have been a better DVD for my grandson if the creators had just left those out. He loves the World Animals DVD, but this one will just be filed away. I wouldn't recommend it.
