Babyscapes: Baby's Smart Start [VHS]

Description

Who doesn't want a smart baby? This video was previously called Babyscapes --before the company's remarkable success led them to take the name over as the production company name. Originally released in 1996, this video was a pioneer of sorts, featuring CGI shapes and colors (in primarily black, red, and white to draw the attention and interest of the youngest of viewers). The images are set to classical music, and this video is not only an easy way to stimulate your precious little one but a video that parents, caregivers, and older siblings will appreciate after many repeated viewings. Why? Because it offers soothing, beautiful music. Included are: Delibes's Pizzicato Polka , Pachelbel's Canon, Bach's "Air on a G String," Beethoven's "Für Elise," Grieg's "Anitra's Dance," and Brahms's "Lullaby." For the initial screenings, parents should watch along with their babies, noting the contrasting colors and shapes and dancing to the rhythms of the music. Afterwards, parents may be amazed to find how this video can hold the interest of baby--and be content to know experts deemed this combination of classical music, shapes, and colors good stimulation for your baby's growing mind. It also comes with a very helpful booklet. This is a perfect--and uniquely useful--baby shower gift for parents-to-be or recent parents. (Ages 3 months to 3 years) --N.F. Mendoza
