Rating: Summary: Great video for learning to count Review: I brought this video for my 2 1/2 year old after we had purchased the ABC video from this same series. Before we brought this video he knew what numbers were, but he did not understand that they represent a value. Although we have only watched it a couple of times, I noticed him counting with the vido during the first time that we saw it. He video succeeded in getting him interested in couting objects, including his toes, because it requires taking off his socks which is another favorite activity.The age range that the video represents is appropriate. If your child is ready to learn counting and numbers, the video is perfect. If your child already knows number values of 1 - 20, don't get the video. If your child is younger, you can get it and if they are not interested, it might just mean that they are not yet ready to learn the material.
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Educational Video Review: I have nothing but praise for this video. Our son who is 4 has Pervasive Developmental Disability just loves this video. He was able to count to 10 before the video but only in some type of active game. Now he goes around counting everything. He is even recognizing the symbol for each number. Pretty amazing for a boy who didn't speak more than 30 words or want to interact too much 6 months ago!!! Keep in mind that this video series is meant to educate your child and it does it very well some things aren't meant to be entertaining even though this is to some degree. Sometimes simple and direct is better.

Rating: Summary: bore my baby video Review: I know that repitition is good for a learning child, but this video carries it to an extreme. Almost the entire video is counting objects. There was no real entertainment for me or my 3 kids. My four year old and 3 year old could not sit still for more than 60 seconds to watch this. My 8 month old seemed even more disinterested then the rest of us, and she is the one I bought it for. The most exciting part of the video was the song they sing in the middle of the video about counting your fingers and toes. I bought this video after watching the Brainy Video Left Brain tape. That tape was very entertaining. So I was very disappointed that this tape was so dull and boring.
Rating: Summary: Great video for learning to count Review: It's very important to note that a key differentiator of this video is that counting is shown from numbers 1 through 20 on a wide variety of objects, including fingers and toes. These "real-world" examples really struck a chord with my 3- and 1.8- year old sons respectively; both now can count to 20, with the older one counting on his fingers and toes through imitation. I think this is an invaluable educational tool and my children have really enjoyed this video. Highly recommended.

Rating: Summary: My 17 month old son is counting Review: My 17 month old son just started to count one day in the car. He is now counting up to 12 and has grasped quantity also. We give full credit to these videos. Under a year may be too young but don't wait until they are two. Your child may surprise you.
Rating: Summary: My 14 month daughter loves this video! Review: My daughter showed interest in counting whenever I read her numbers book so I borrowed this video from our local library. She loved it. I bought her, her own DVD. There's toys and children to guide you though counting from 1 to 20!

Rating: Summary: Another winner Review: My parents bought my kids a few Brainy Baby videos, and they watch them EVERY DAY (I find myself humming the music in my sleep- ugh!). 123's is just that- counting done in a fun, repetitive manner so kids can catch on easily. For ages 2 and up. These videos are great for making learning fun.
