We were approach by Innoform Media to review one of their new release - Babytv on dvd of My First Years Library. I am more than happy to do so as my son, Ashton is a “TV King”. I know it would be a simple job as I could use this as one of the bonding activities with the kids.

Ashton, Ashlyn and I were excited when we received the sample DVD today. We started our program soon after we come home from our morning trip to the Science Center.

About BabyTV on dvd - My First Years Library

It is a comprehensive collection of DVDs consisting of all titles that contributes to the fundamental learning of the babies and toddlers. The 5 titles that will be release in the market will be:

1. Babytv on dvd - Learning Colours

2. Babytv on dvd - My Nursery Toys

3. Babytv on dvd - Farm Animals

4. Babytv on dvd - Musical Instruments

5. Babytv on dvd - Art and Crafts

The review copy that we received was on Farm Animals, which is one of the kids favorite topic currently. It is a 40 minutes DVD, which was just right for the kids. They could take a break and rest their eyes after that.

It was a very captivating yet educational one, which teaches children about animals that are seen in the farm. There are 2 main parts that makes up the dvd. There are bright and vibrant colored animation to capture the children’s attention and also shots of real farm scene which shows the milking of the cow and shaving of the the sheeps. The songs are catchy and familiar songs like “Mary had a Little Lamb”, “5 Little Ducks” etc. The children readily sang along. Apart from that, it is also very interactive as it prompt the kids to think by asking them riddle like “Which animal is black and white with wide nostrils?” Answer: The cow.

From the dvd, my children not only learn about different kinds of animals that they see in the farm but they also learn more in depth as in how the animal contributed to our daily lives such as cow gives us milk.

Personally verdict: I love the way the DVD is being structured. There are a combination of games, songs and stories, which cater well to almost all the kids. Both Ashton and Ashlyn enjoyed different parts of the dvd. While Ashton focused more on the facts, Ashlyn enjoyed the songs. Now, she insisted we sing “Old Mac Donald had a Farm” after watching BabyTV on dvd - Farm Animals.
