Small Fry Productions. Childrens Educational Learning Videos (Baby's First Impressions is a fun educational video designed to help infants and toddlers learn their educational basics (Shapes, Colors, Letters, Numbers, etc.) It's different than any other video, because it uses real objects and other children's faces that a child can relate to in his or her environment. We do not use computer animation or puppets, but rather simple objects that each child can understand in a fun and exciting way. This encourages interaction with your child, instead of being a passive viewer. As a result, this teaching technique ensures a solid learning connection with your child. Many Parents have called us back to tell us how quickly their children learn from these videos and how much smarter they are than their peers. Each video is 32 minutes in length and is professionally produced. The series has won over 10 National Awards including The Family Channel Seal of Approval and was chosen "Best Video of the Year" by Child Magazine. Babies really LOVE this video! It holds their attention for the entire length and they absorb information quickly. It inspires and educates by using bright colors, familiar objects, positive music and soft reassuring voices. Each learning section of the video is followed by a fun, interactive "Play" section, where children learn by example. The videos repeat objects on the screen several times and it has a good balance of both objects and children's faces. This helps children to quickly absorb information, while they have hours of fun learning. This continuing video series is a vital part of your child's early cognitive skills and brain development. Give your child an early start, because First Impressions last a lifetime! (Check this site out great videos!! My son loves the sounds one, I bought mine at Zany Brainy)
