Toys That Teach

Combining the remarkable music of one of the history's most magnificent composers with simple eye-catching images to stimulate and entertain babies is a challenging task. Whether inspired by the genius of Mozart, or the bold images on the screen, parents reported that their babies were wide-eyed and smiling. Mozart is a wonderful first choice for both beautiful melodies and as a video for toddlers and babies.

Recommended Age: 1 to 36 months Price: $15.95

Pahappahooey: The Secret of the Book

Impact Entertainment

A quirky set of adventurous puppets are the stars of this well produced video, the third installment of a series, which finds the heroes in search of a hidden book with great powers. The book is a thinly veiled reference to the bible, and while there is no direct reference to it or its teachings, some parents may want to consider this. There are some fun songs and humorous moments that kept the attention of our testers and made the overall experience light and enjoyable.

Recommended Age: 3 to 12 Price: $14.95

Little Stars

Big Chief, Inc.

Designed as a first video for your little one, Little Stars is a compilation of music and images of babies looking adorable. There was no denying the fact that our little viewers did enjoy seeing their "peers" laughing and having fun on TV. Our parents had to admit that they were entranced themselves during the Puppy Love segment which is filled with heart melting images of little babies interacting with puppies. The other segments, When I Grow Up and Rock-A-Baby feel more like staged photo sessions at the local mall, with kids dressed to look cute. But the bottom line is that our little testers did enjoy the video experience and wanted to watch again and again.

Recommended Age: 6 mos. to 3 yrs. Price: $12.95
