Fun Freetime: Mill Creek Baby DVDs

Mill Creek Entertainment recently released the first installment of BabyFirstTV’s  award-winning programming across eight DVDs for babies, toddlers and parents for only $9.98 each. Each DVD contains over 90 minutes of fun and educational content to help babies blossom. BabyFirst’s content is created by leading experts in child development and education, and provides interactive opportunities for parents and baby to bond, learn and explore together. 

I had a chance to review these DVDs. The DVDs are good educational entertainment for toddlers and young kids. My three-year-old really enjoyed them. My five-year-old enjoyed some of them, but not others - she's a little bit too old for the target age, though. I thought the colors around the world was great, as a math teacher I love anything that promotes early number literacy. The variety of topics covered by the series is nice, and I like that they are created by child development experts. Full descriptions of each installment are below, as well.
