Baby's First Impressions: Letters VHS

Bought because of the reviews and it turned out to be true. My granddaughter is not even 2 and at like 20 months old she learned to count and many number recognition. The numbers one is excellent as well. Made in the 90s but use real kids and babies which my granddaughter loves. She knows most of the alphabet. Have to continue watching to remember.

My daughter started watching this video at four months old when she would wake up in the wee hours of the morning wanting to play and I wanting desperately to sleep! i started, just on a whim popping this in for her - and she was RIVETED right from the start. the music, the kids, the colors, all of it just drew her in and kept her attention every night! i went ahead and bought her the whole set of videos! Well, by the time my DD turned 1, she knew and recognized teh ENTIRE alphabet and the SOUNDS (not just surface ABC singing here), not to mention she knew her shapes and colors and numbers to twenty by aroung the same time. well, I was floored!Since she understood so much, by the time she was 2, I went ahead and got her started with Hooked on Phonics Learn to Read Kindergarten Complete - Amazon Exclusive Edition (I have review on here about it somewhere) - she didn't need any priming because all of the foundation was there - and by the time she was 3 she was reading simple books quite well. by the time she was 4, she was into chapter books! Fast forward to her current age of 7 and she is going into the FIFTH GRADE! I have had to homeschool here because the schools could not keep up with the progress she was making. I can honestly say that having this video series opened up a whole world of potential for my daughter and I have bought the set as gifts for EVERY new family member!

Our 15mo enjoys watching it & tries to say the letters along with the littles on the DVD. It has easy listening music in the background too. Great way for littles to get a head start!

My little one loves this DVD. Thank you for such a great product.

My son loves the real life pictures of Kids and items depicting each letter. He follows the actions of the kids in the video. Very few DVDs for kids have real life pictures. Most are cartoon based which he does not seem to like.

My mom bought a couple of these for our daughter over a year ago. Since then we've collected the entire set! Kids are absolutely glued to them and they learn at an incredible rate. Our daughter is not quite 2 and has been able to recognize and recite numbers 1-20, the entire alphabet, all of the shapes, colors, animals, signs, and opposites for months! She's heads and tales ahead of her peers. I highly recommend these for your kids or as gifts to the kids in you life- they're fantastic! Your kids will sing and laugh and dance their way to learning- it's effortless!:)

I read all the reviews and was expecting something really great. My 16 month son will watch a couple shows, but shows no interest in this one. It is done nicely, but the music is slow and calm and it just doesn't catch his attention. The children show foam letters at a park and then it goes to letters with pictures of objects that starts with that letter and then it goes back to kids and a park.I think it is a nice addition to your video collection, but don't look for it to teach your kids to read all by itself.

The Baby's First Impression series is very good. I didn't get all of the cassettes, but the best were: Numbers, Letters, Colors and Animals (in that order). This is until the age of two, since I don't know about after that yet.
