DVD Reviews of Baby Songs - ABC, 123, Colors & Shapes
DVD Review: Another Baby Songs Winner
Summary: 5 Stars
We love baby songs at our house. I have a three year old and a one year old and Hap Palmer's songs never fail to put a smile on their faces. I was first introduced to Baby Songs as a teenage babysitter in the early 90's. The toddler for which I babysat had 2 Baby Songs videos which he loved to watch. I found that songs like Today I Took My Diapers Off and Sitting In My Highchair would be running through my head for days. Years later, after having a child of my own, I was delighted to discover that many of those same catchy tunes that I remembered from my babysitting days had been compiled in DVD format. We started by renting at the library and then purchased our own copies of Original Baby Songs, Baby's Busy Day, Baby Songs Animals, as well as this ABC video. I prefer Original Baby Songs and Baby's Busy Day to the other two we own, but in all fairness, my kids seem to adore all four equally. Yes, the songs are a bit corny and the hairstyles and clothes are a bit outdated (which I find endearing in a nostalgic sort of way), but your baby, toddler, or pre-schooler is sure to adore it. Isn't that what really matters? This particular DVD features songs that are a bit more educational in that they focus on shapes, numbers, colors, and ABC's. Don't expect this video to flawlessly educate your child in theses areas, eliminating the need for pre-school. I'm sure they do learn something from the songs because kids are like sponges and they are busy learning from all the different things they are exposed to during the course of a day. These songs are no exception. This DVD is likely to delight a toddler or preschooler who is enjoying an increasing awareness of numbers, letters, colors, and shapes as they encounter these things in the world around them. As with the other Baby Songs DVDs we own, this one is good, wholesome fun.
Description of Baby Songs - ABC, 123, Colors & Shapes
Hap Palmer has pioneered the technique of integrating music and movement in the area of early childhood education. These fun, live-action songs with colorful animated introductions will entertain children for hours and introduce basic skills such as recognition of letters, colors, shapes and number concepts. This DVD runs 50 minutes. Ages 2-6.Don't be concerned that this video doesn't have familiar characters on the cover (no purple dinos, no brightly colored space alien babies). This proven series of colorful musical videos is a winner, and the latest, Baby Songs ABC, 123 is no exception. Designed for toddlers to 2- to 6-year-olds, this video combines color and movement--and, importantly, other children--to help young viewers remember their numbers and the alphabet. Children's music writer Hap Palmer has provided songs that are genuinely catchy and, like the classic "ABC" song, which helped nearly every English-speaking child learn the alphabet, kids are learning as they're singing. Palmer specializes in purposeful but engaging rhyme and alliteration to encourage kids to sing along, sing on their own, and prepare for reading skills.
Mostly nonprecocious children highlight each segment, often dressed alike in brightly colored garb. Featured songs include "Alphabet in Motion," "Tap Your Sticks," "Shapes That Surround You," "Colors in Motion," "We Are All Alike," "Bean Bag Alphabet Rag" (which also helps kids identify body parts), "Jig Along Shapes," and "Numbers Can Tell About You." --N.F.
