fantastic and entrancing educational video

This video was fantastic. My son who is 3 1/2 years old loves it and has learned so much information from it. The sophisticated use of vocabulary is brilliant. I am so happy to find something out there that gives a toddler and infant the credit for being able to understand and express themselves...

Only video to keep my son's attention

Fundamentals video holds my son's attention with its fast pace, song-like format, and cheerful narrator, whom he speaks to when watching the video. I hope there are more videos to come.

A helpful tool for speech and a fun way to learn

I credit Fundamentals for helping my daughter's speech problem. She was almost 2 years old and she did not talk that much. Thanks to the video, which she liked since the first time she watched it, her ability to talk increased very quickly. She started to say more words and also to recognize...

Well intentioned but kinda weird and amateurish

This DVD tries to do the right thing, but has no business trying to teach. The narrator "sounds out" the letters incorrectly, and the age-appropriateness seems off. Why are young toddlers being taught shapes like trapezoids and "ovoids" in one scene and their basic colors in the next? Weird mix...

There is So Much Better Out There

Based on the reviews, I purchased this DVD and was really diappointed. Like a lot of the reviews I felt that my son was getting a little beyond the Baby Einstein DVDs. This DVD is really unpolished and the women in the upper left hand corner is really distracting for my son. Additionally, the...

Impressive DVD for Toddlers/Preschoolers

I bought this DVD for my 2 and 3 year old boys and was very impressed. It's not flashy and polished, but it effectively teaches the basics (shapes, colors, large and small, letters etc.) My boys were not only watching, but also interacting. We just received it today and I'm looking forward to...

Best Educational Video I've Seen in 3.5 Years of Fatherhood.

I have a three year old girl and a one year old boy and they were both captivated by the video. More importantly, my daughter was engaging with the video and kept wanting to watch it more and more. It is a far better product than the Baby Einstein videos, and I've seen them all. Please make more!

A wonderful way to learn through entertainment

I watched this DVD with my two sons, ages 4 years and 6 mos. My younger son was entertained by the Starlets and I even caught him laughing when something on the screen delighted him. (Incidentally, I've tried a Baby Einstein or two with both my babies and they never seemed to enjoy them. So I was...

Exceptional Educational DVD for Babies

The First Wave "Fundamentals" DVD is an exceptional educational video for babies. In fact, my 8 month old son loves watching this DVD. As the title of the DVD punningly suggests, the style and content of the video make the learning process both fun and enjoyable for the baby. For example,...
