Well someone looks a little excited…
Watcha got there Miss Addie?
I am in total agreement! Those look so cool!!!
Oh look, the World of Color Discovery Kit from Baby Einstein has a little book too, fun!
And off we went to the playroom to watch. Do you know much about Baby Einstein? Do you have Littles in your life? Your own Littles? Friends Littles? GranLittles? CuzLittles?? Well THEY know about Baby Einstein, and they most likely really like anything Baby Einstein’s brilliant creators come up with next!
Now I’m not a huge TV person (seriously, it’s only on like 8 hours of the day…). I kid! I kid! But it is on in the morning, and again in the evening. Those are the tough hours for me with 3 kids under 3 years old. When the new Baby Einstein Discovery Kits first arrived, I was super excited to try something new, especially that targets all three ages. The girls are pretty set on what shows they want to watch however, so I was curious to see how this would go. Addie was pretty excited about opening the DVDs….
She quickly grabbed the small companion board book and was hooked! We watched World of Colors first and she was riveted to the screen. My other 2 babes were in and out of interest (but they are 9 months and 20 mos, and this DVD was a stage 3 DVD). But what I loved is they never tried to leave the playroom. As I sat and watched them all, I realized there was beautiful music playing, images filled with different colors were jumping across the screen, and everyone was happy and content….hmmm, maybe Baby Einstein’s onto something here?
My kids are all sitting and playing peacefully, and I was actually enjoying their DVD too! Wonders never cease! Guess I need to read a little more about the kits….
Level 1 ~ Is about the “Experience” phase in an infant to toddlers life (i.e. Baby Mozart)
Level 2 ~ Is the “Explore” phase introducing your toddler to the outdoors (i.e. Wild Animal Safari).
Level 3 ~ Is the “Expression” phase of the older toddlers life (i.e. World of Colors)
Each kit comes with a DVD, a CD, and either a small board book for little hands, or flash cards (that are beautiful I might add!)
Addie was mesmorized from the moment I turned on World of Colors.
Hay started out pretty interested as well, but she started to phase back to her toys after 5 minutes or so. But she is not much of a TV watcher, so hard to gauge her reaction.
I agree with you Mr. Einstein (who by the way shares a birthday with Miss Addie wonder if that’s why she liked the DVDs so much, hmmmm).
This cute little guy plays “host” on World of Color. And Hay thought he was pretty funny!
Addie really loved having the little board book.
She read.
She watched.
She read.
Lots of familiar images, and loads of color.
And even though Piper and Hay weren’t as mesmorized as Addie, they loved just being in the room with the music. Typically when they aren’t watching something, both go exploring outside the room.
So all in all, I’m very happy with the kits. It’s nice to have an option that everyone likes, including mom and I would definitely recommend the kits as a gift for young Littles this season.
IN FACT, Baby Einstein will give one lucky reader 3 kits, 1 for each stage! Yea!! Simply leave a comment below and the winner will be notified Monday.
Addie would wish you luck, but she is a little occupied….
(Disclosure: I received a copy of the kits from Baby Einstein in order to do this review. These are my honest opinions, and in fact we watched again tonight ~ Addie’s choice!)
I love Baby Einstein! I honestly believe those DVDs had a hand in Wito reading by 2.5 years old!
(LOVE LOVE LOVE the new site, btw!!!)

I’m a big fan of baby einstein…this is how I am able to shower. :) I pop my daughter in her jumper/exersaucer thing and put in a baby einstein video and she is TOTALLY happy while I get ready. It would be great to get some for older ages as she is getting bigger every day! :)

I love Baby Einstein. It feels better having my kids watch these knowing that they are learning something.
[Reply]
Love Baby Einstein! My 3 boys would really enjoy these new kits!
[Reply]
My daughter would love this. She loves music and I think this would keep her entertained for at least 5min plus teach her something.

I love Baby Einstein! My daughter’s only 8 months old, so she doesn’t really watch TV, but when I REALLY need time (like to take a shower, or something!) I’ll pop in a Baby Einstein video and she is mesmerized!

I WANT! :)

I’ve always been fascinated with the aspect of Baby Einstein. I’m a new aunt (my best friend of 25 years had a gorgeous son in October!) so I’m always perusing the baby aisle. I even bought her a baby classical music cd for her to play for Alex in the womb. I would love to be able to win this for her for Xmas or just because!

I’m not sure how my 9 mo old feels about Baby Einstein…we don’t have any yet :( I hope I win! :)
[Reply]
my almost 15 month old would love this!

I have been looking into ways to get my kids engaged in more educational shows. They love books and reading so this looks like like it would help me achieve that goal! Hope to hear something soon and it isnt too late. Just got the tweet. Thanks for the chance!
