Right Brain features classical music and gentle voices, and explores Creative Thinking, Art & Drawing, Rhymes, Imagination, and more! DVD includes special features such as: Baby Bloopers, Behind The Scenes, and Storybook. 45 minutes
While there are many tapes designed to stimulate a baby's mind, Brainy Baby is unique in addressing left and right brain functions in distinct programs. Called "whole brain thinking," the theory is that if children are stimulated to use both sides of the brain — preparing them to think logically and creatively — they will become more adept at learning and problem solving. Capitalizing on this research, the folks at Small Fry Productions (makers of Bilingual Baby) have produced a two-volume set to develop the whole brain. Volume one helps stimulate the right brain, which research shows is the center for creativity, intuition, and imagination. To engage such processes, the program uses imagery (such as ink blots and clouds transforming into familiar objects), color recognition (by way of deliciously gooey paint), and patterns (from nesting shapes to 3-D objects). Unlike the So Smart! approach, there is enthusiastic narration during the 32-minute program and more variation between segments. Employing the so-called Mozart effect, the program utilizes classical music (believed to enhance a child's spatial intelligence) from impressionist era composers Debussy, Chopin, and Tchaikovsky. Whether or not a parent is interested in the push to "develop a child's creative side for a smarter baby" (as the film's literature espouses), there is another compelling reason to consider the Brainy Baby series: pure enjoyment. Parents will get a kick out of watching their toddlers respond to the visual feast before them. And the accompanying classical melodies make it palatable for parents too.

- Right Brain
- My daughter was 2months old when she started watching this video and it had her captivated, I was amazed. She sat through the entire video without so much a wince. But after two or three times she didn't focus on it so much, but I continue to put it in and let her watch it because I know it's for her benefit in the long run, More reviews
- My son just wasn't interested
- My son (18 months) wasn't interested at all in this video. I think it looks well made and interesting but my son still prefers the My Baby Can Talk video and Baby Einstein. More reviews
- My triplets love it!
- We have Right Brain and Left Brain. My triplets, who have very different personalities, liked Baby Einstein better when they were still in bouncers and crawling around. Now that they are toddlers at 22 mos, they've been enjoying Brainy Baby better. They still like Baby Einstein but since that only has music they just get More reviews
- Does not hold our attention
- Let me start off by saying that I have higher degrees in art, art history, music, and Romance languages -- so I am an admitted "art snob." Having said that, I would recommend that you try the Baby Einstein "Baby Van Gogh, World of Colors" and "Baby Mozart" videos instead of this Brainy Baby video.
I find this Brainy Baby video More reviews
- The DVD lives up to customer reviews
- I bought this based on the customer reviews and had it for about one month now. My 8 month old absolutely loves it and remains engaged in the show most of the time. I notice how she enjoys the children and the puppets when they come on.
I also have other Baby Einstein DVDs and the Brainy Baby More reviews
