This is a delightful gift idea for baby's First Christmas - geared toward the 0-24 month age group; I would say it is perfect for the younger end of that group as a cute musical image of Christmas! This is in true Baby Einstein style - mixing classical renditions of traditional Christmas music such as 'Jingle Bells', with Christmas imagery which is heavily focussed on young children. This is important as your child will identify and engage much more when something, in this case Christmas , is shown from a kid perspective! There are also numerous appearances from the baby Einstein puppets! Another wonderful aspect of this movie, is the fact that we see Christmas celebrated around the world in a variety of cultures. It helps the child identify the fact that families each have their own tradition; and even embraces the different religions that may not have a 'Christmas' but certainly have a celebration which is important! This helps broaden your child's mind and perspective! It is a great DVD, the Cheery Christmas mood certainly helps get you in the spirit of things, the only reason I gave this a good not excellent rating was when taken from my child's perspective, it was once of the less engaging DVD's of the Einstein series...but still enjoyed nonetheless!Read full review
Here's another GREAT Baby Einstein video, but this time there's a Christmas theme. Also included are some Hanukkah songs and images, but the overlying idea here is Christmas. My son loved the reindeer segments, and also the video of ornaments and moving Santa toys. However, this DVD is close to a half hour, unlike the other videos that run closer to 45 minutes. For a special holiday treat, this is a great DVD. However, you might choose one that you can watch year round instead...to get your money's worth!
I like this DVD for the holidays! It has the seasonal music and props to go along with it. This DVD is a nice change of pace from the other Baby Einstein products! I love all of the Baby Einstein products but my 2 yr old can wear them out after awhile. So the baby Santa is still learning, good instrumental music and makes it feel like Christmas! It gives us a good chance to talk about the season! This is certainly a good one to add to the collection.
The name "Baby Einstein" can trick parents into believing it's okay or even good for their babies to watch it, 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
This is one of the most delightful Baby Einstein movies. This movie has a Christmas theme (surprise, surprise) and features lots of colors in Christmas ornaments and decorations and lots of lovely Christmas music (all instrumental, I believe). The puppets are adorable as usual and the main character in this movie is a funny reindeer. Baby Einstein has done an excellent job in catching the attention of babies and this movie is no exception!
