Baby Einstein - Baby Neptune - Discovering Water [DVD]

I was really impressed with the beautiful scenes of... just water!! Who would have ever thought scenes of water would engage a baby (we have a 9-month-old) and show so creatively. There are scenes of geysers, waterfalls, rain, puddles, waves, lakes, and streams. As well as children jumping in puddles wearing raincoats and whales and dolphins diving in and out of the water. Then of course the Baby Einstein puppets play with water by watering gardens and playing jokes on one another.My daughter absolutely adores all the animal Baby Einsteins, so I was glad to find one of a different concept. These dvds have been a lifesaver to me for my highly active baby (aren't most?), who can barely sit still for a few bites in her high chair nor before naps and bedtime. She eats a meal now and falls asleep peacefully to the videos. Then they are excellent background music during play times.The only major disappoint I have found is "Baby Galileo." However, all the animals ones (MacDonald and Neighborhood Animals) are necessities in our house and the absolute favorites!

Of the things that buy me a moment of peace, this is in the Top 10. I'm not a big TV person and feel a little guilty about putting him in front of the tube, but the B.E. videos are an almost perfect compromise. Baby Neptune gets the most airtime. Some of the scenes feel a little rushed (blip they're there, blip they're gone) and it's barely 30 minutes, but there are no commercials, the music is wonderful, I love the ocean scenes and the aquarium is a peaceful bonus. We got them when our son was 6 mos (now 1 yr) and I can't say he's riveted, but he does enjoy it and has a great deal of fun playing with us and the puppets. Maybe it's not really educational, but it is entertaining and sometimes that's even better.

I found Baby Neptune to be one of the better Einstein videos. No annoying scenes of Julie's children trying to be cutesy (something that was a problem in Baby Bach), and plenty of "action" that keeps baby intrigued. I didn't find the frequent change of scenery bothersome, more importantly my baby didn't seem to have a problem with it.The music is enjoyable as usual, the puppets were fun to watch, they even brought back the silly duck with the red scarf that was featured in Baby Beethoven. It's great to see your baby recognize the characters from previous releases.There were children interlaced throughout, but nothing like Baby Santa or Baby Bach. You can tell Disney is trying to fine-tune the videos / DVD, and they did a good job with this one. This has a great balance of beautiful scenery, fun and silly toys, and nice music. I give this a thumbs up.

My 11 month old girls have been watching World Music since they were 4 months old. They love it! I bought two more that I thought would be close to the World Music video. Discovering Water and World Animals are pretty close. I wish they had more music in them, but the girls seem to like them. One positive is that there is a repeat play option on Discovering Water and World Animals. One negative about all of the Baby Einstein videos is that they take forever to begin; which is frustrating when you are using them as a calming tool. I'll still buy more though.

My daughter's 3 1/2 and STILL loves every one of these baby Einstein videos! Some of the best money spent in my opinion. And I gotta tell ya-I'm not really one to purchase used items of any kind, but since these videos are so dang expensive, I decided to try an alternate route and buy "pre owned" movies that are listed by well-rated companies and I swear to you I've saved a lot of money with this one trick! I highly suggest you all do the same. There's some very reputable companies out there that sell these movies for a heck of a lot cheaper.

Bought this DVD for the grandkids to watch while they eat their snackie in their high chairs, and they all seem to love it. All the Baby Einstein videos really capture the kid's attention, even if they seem dull and silly to the adults, they are well honed to captivate those young minds. My grandbabies, never take their eyes off of these movies, they are also the perfect length for little ones.

I can't believe he likes these already but he does. My son is two months old and he gets through about half of this video. That is pretty good for a two month old! I didn't think he would sit through it this young; but I tried it one day out of desperation when he was fussy and he settled down and watched it. He does sit through the whole Baby Van Gogh video. I think he will like this one better as he gets older and can comprehend what he is seeing. I think it's great. He loves his Baby Einstein music CD's too.I recommend those too...

If you're not looking just at aesthetics and are able to let a baby video just be a baby video, then this is an excellent choice. The water scenes are soothing, and of the handful of Baby Eistein videos that my family has viewed, this is the one that held our son's attention first (around 9 mos. old) and has kept it. He doesn't watch any other T.V., but enjoys the water animals, music, and joy that this DVD depicts. Let's face it, at 21 months old, one needn't worry about repetitive pastiches. He's pretty much just groovin' on the serenity of it all.

Present for a friends baby who loved it.

My baby loves all the Baby Einstein DVD collection but it`s Baby Neptune that he loves the most!! The images are incredible.

Bien

こどもが８ヶ月の頃、外国語に慣れさせておこう・・・と思い、購入しました。まだ２歳ですので、効果のほどは分かりませんが。始めは、なにかを洗脳されそうな、変な怖いビデオ・・・と思いました。流れてくる言葉と、画像が、あまりにも合っていないからです。８ヶ月の頃はこどももあまり興味を示さず、ただかけっ放し、ということがありました。でも、１歳を過ぎる頃には、子供のお気に入りになりました。今２歳３ヶ月ですが（推奨年齢はすぎましたが）よく、見たがります。画面を見て「階段上ってる」とか「しましま」とか「お人形さん載ってどんするの」とか、いろいろ話してくれます。おもちゃが飛び出す同じ画面を使い、各国の言葉で”こんにちは”と言うところがありますが、息子は毎回「はろー」と言います。出てくるいろいろな画面に対しては、すごく興味を示します。ただ、音声に注目しているかは全く分かりません。我が家では、テレビｏｒビデオは朝夕１回だけと決めていますので、毎回、しまじろうにするか、これにするか迷っています。

ウチの娘はもう3歳半になってしまったので，どうかなと思っていたけど見る度大喜び。悲鳴のような歓声と爆笑をしながら見ています。娘的に今ちょうどニモブームなので、ニモにでてくるおさかなの本物が見られるのがポイント高しなのかも。いろんな種類の海の生き物が見られます。単語はocean, beach, rivers ＆ lakes, rain drops ＆ puddlesなど。パペットが絵を描いてくれてそれがそのまま映像になるので，口で説明して教えるより覚えやすいのかなと思います。今回の主役のパペットのカメもかわいくてgoodです!!このbaby einsteinシリーズはこれで5本目になりますが、これもまた音楽が良いです。今回はwaterにちなんだ爽快な選曲がされていると思います。一緒に楽しんで見てあげると、もっと子供は喜びます。
