Baby Newton - All About Shapes

Baby Newton was the 9th Baby Einstein video to be released. It is a Baby Einstein video that teaches infants and toddlers about shapes including, circle, square, oval, rectangle and triangle. Antonio Vivaldi made the music for Baby Newton. The visuals include toys, animation by the American Animation Company, puppet shows with new Puppets created by Dave Privett and nature!

Baby Newton was released March 12th, 2002. It's counterpart CD is Baby Vivaldi. Some of the toys had been discontinued after the video was made so Disney decided to replace the discontinued toys in the 2004 edition. Baby Newton was later replaced with Discovering Shapes

They also included a song called 'I know my shapes' by Jack Moss. It was a way to teach your child shapes in a fun, silly way!
