This wonderful developmental video is designed for infants, babies, and toddlers and is based on relatively recent studies of early brain development. Baby Einstein also employs natural sound effects such as bubble sounds when a fish bowl is shown, and the sound of a metronome as it clicks back and forth. The visual component is highly stimulating and interesting for babies and toddlers. The objects shown are mostly, but not limited to, bright and fascinating toys. For example, a colorful ring post toy appears and babies watch as the rings are taken off the post one by one.
Children also anticipate a train after first hearing a train whistle.
The audio component of Baby Einstein consists of nursery rhymes, songs, alphabet and counting sequences. The voices and audio are pleasing and clear, and song is used often. The purpose of this video is not to teach babies to be multilingual, but to stimulate neurons in the brain to make learning languages at a later date all the more easy, and to promote greater brain capacity. Many experts feel that stimulating the brain in such a way can also develop language skills and sound discrimination in general, which improves a child's language ability in his own native language. Additionally, there is more and more evidence that during the first 3 years of life, brains are literally wired by a young child's experiences.
