Catchy Tunes and More Words for ASD Child
Our son is on the Autism Spectrum and is a very visual learner. He knew his shapes and colors and we used this as a repetition source for maintenance.
One day while driving he came out with one of their songs - Green grass, blue sky, red apples and the yellow sunshine. We were surprised since he doesn't normally speak without a lot of prompting. He really liked the song. We in turn were very happy to hear him sing the words out clearly. Highly recommend for those on the ASD.

great for teaching young toddlers!
I was given this DVD and I love it! I started letting my son watch it about once a week when he was around 15 months and he knew his shapes and colors in no time! I think these videos are superior to Baby Einstien because they actually teach your child. If you are unsure just buy a used one and try it. I doubt you will be dissapointed.

Great find!
This was the first of the Brainy Baby series DVDs I bought for my now 3 1/2 month old son. It hooked me. I like the series overall so much better than most Baby Einstein videos which many moms rave about (except I do like Neptune in that series). Anyway, this video is wonderfully perpared. It has vibrant uses of colors and shapes--using many children and creative ideas for every day items to show children shapes--such as a pizza slice for a triangle. Since children tend to want to watch the same video over and over--be sure to pick one you can stand too. This one is fun to watch for you and your children.

brainy baby shapes and colors - just ok
The video is Ok but some of the songs are pretty hokey and even my son doesn't like them. He will watch the video but he has yet to sit for the entire video like he does with others.

Tackles 2 concepts in 1 video
The Shapes portion of this video begins with a really long song about shapes and foods (triangles are like pizza slices, etc). I really don't care for the singing voices. It always sounded to me like they were singing, "Whilst you know how to name your shapes". I had to listen to this over and over and finally realized they they were really singing "Once you know how to name your shapes" (at least I think that must be what they are saying because whilst just doesn't make sense).

The shapes focused on in this video are circle, square, triangle, rectangle, star, diamond, heart, oval, crescent, and then they have a very little bit with the shapes pentagon, hexagon, and octagon.

The very first time I watched this I thought it was annoying. Everything seemed to be fast and hard to absorb. As I watched it again I felt that it wasn't quite as bad as I thought at first. I like the Colors half of the video better.

In the Colors section they have a lot of repeats of Baby's First Impressions Colors, but Brainy Baby has more speaking and adds a few more colors. The colors are red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, brown, pink, black, white, silver and gold. After a few colors they have a color review. Just for you to get an idea, for purple they show these things in purple: balloons, flowers, bunny, ball, baby with a scuba outfit on (why? I don't know. I guess because it's purple), slinky, grapes (animated ones and also real ones), egg plant, pool dolphin toy, easter egg, toy turtle and then kids in purple.

It is nice that this video tackles two concepts in one video. I think it's ok but I'm not wildly excited about it. I really like So Smart Shapes and So Smart Colors better. Please read my other reviews.
