DVD Reviews of Bumblebee Kids Vocabulary Builder 1
DVD Review: It's what it took for us
Summary: 5 Stars
My 26 month old daughter was on the verge of being diagnosed with a speech delay, and I really didn't to deal with a speech therapist and all that. So, I was desperate, trying everything I could think of to get her talking. I bought Baby Babble (which I think is at a lower level than where she was), discovered online books, did everything I could think of.
My daughter is a very energetic little girl, doesn't like to sit still for any amount of time EXCEPT for the television or the computer. So, I knew that my solution would probably have to include the computer or the TV. I discovered online books, and was reading her books in a format where she couldn't tear them up, but the computer couldn't hold her attention long enough to finish a story. (Some two year olds have the attention span of a gnat, and my girl is one of them!)
When I was considering Baby Bumblebee, I read enough about the format to know that it's kind of like moving flashcards. So, I went to the BB website, downloaded their flashcards and used them for a week with my girl. And it seemed to be working. So, I went ahead and bought VB1. By the end of the first week, my husband and I were discussing moving her on to video 2; she's pretty much mastered video 1.
The thing I like about this that you can't get with flashcards is that it's a video. It moves and it gives you several examples of the word. Cat or Car can mean many different looking things, and kids can't learn that as well with flashcards. Seriously, if I use a flashcard for Car with a VW Bug, I don't know that she'll automatically make the connection that a Honda Civic is also a car.
And I'd like to also make the statement that unless you are willing to work with your child a bit on some of the words taught in the video, it's not going to work nearly as well. I'm still using flashcards with her to reinforce what she sees in the videos.
Also, you can't just set your child down in front of the TV and walk away. You need to watch the video with your child and act excited over what you see, to keep the child interested in learning. Too many parents think that they can just pop in the DVD and go do their thing, which IMO is a very lazy way of parenting. Again, most two year olds don't have a very large attention span, so you need to be there to keep them from being distracted. I knit while my daughter's watching this, which is a great way to supervise her without being totally unselfish at the same time.
Description of Bumblebee Kids Vocabulary Builder 1
Enhance Your Child's Development with Baby BumbleBee's NEW Interactive DVD! More than just a video, this new Interactive DVD offers a multitude of learning opportunities designed to enrich your child's early learning environment! Build Basic Vocabulary Use the DVD video to build early receptive vocabulary. This is a great way to make the most of your baby's early window for language development. Communicate Early Using Sign Language Use the Interactive Sign Language Tutor to teach your child ASL signs. Studies suggest that this may raise IQ scores significantly.It's tough to imagine that the average tot wouldn't get adequate exposure to the objects presented in Bee Smart Baby: Vocabulary Builder, Vol. 1 to master their recognition and rough pronunciation by around 18 months, but parents in a hurry to hear their little ones jabber on about the things oft encountered in the first year or so of life will be grateful for this half-hour video. The concept is, as it should be, simple. First objects are shown in a variety of settings--a toy train going around a track, then a real one chugging along; a series of noses, some on grown-up faces and others belonging to kids; a large spoon stirring a bowl of pasta followed by a baby spoon against a blank background. Then a gentle-voiced narrator states the item's name twice, once at its introduction and again when it's time to move on. At first it seems we're in for nothing more than a laundry list of animals, body parts, and utensils, but then a pattern emerges: a series of four already-shown objects skitter by again, and they're repeated in order. This simple structure will appeal to caregivers who devour child-development studies--the benefits of repetition in early learning will be well known to them--and the makers of this video seem tuned in to the likelihood that it's the well-educated who are most apt to be watching along. To sweeten the deal for such grown-ups, they've set this video to the music of Mozart, which has been shown to constructively stimulate young children. --Tammy La Gorce
