The beauty of this entry in the Baby Einstein catalog is its integration of puppets, toys, and live farm footage to help babies and toddlers make the connection between their plastic play sets and stuffed animals with images of a real farm. As always, the spoken language is minimal, omitting the pesky verbs and adjectives that would confuse the very young. The 30-minute main program is divided into sections: barns and equipment, animals, planting crops, and harvesting. Background music ranges from “Old MacDonald” to Schumann, and DVD extras include a 6-minute puppet show and visual “discovery cards” identifying animals and farm paraphernalia with a single word. (Ages 6 months to 3 years) –Kimberly Heinrichs

The good things about this DVD are:
1. The animals
2. The farm scenes, especially the ones that show the various methods of ploughing the fields.
3. The puppet skits don’t repeat the same thing over and over again.
4. The Old MacDonald song
5. The song set to the Farmer in the Dell tune.
6. The pigs sliding into the mud puddle.
7. Has some good extras and not just flash cards and toy lists.
The not-so-good things about this DVD:
1. Too much of the music is slow, when it should be upbeat. Why plough to a lullaby?
2. Younger children like it, but it’s not easy adult viewing. This DVD puts me to sleep.
3. Some of the content is for babies, some for toddlers, but as a whole it doesn’t hold the interest over 24 months.
My son is now too old for the Baby Einstein series, and it’s time to move on. It’s been a great three years, and definitely essential viewing for children.
Thank you Baby Einstein, and goodbye.

This is one of my top five DVD’s in the Einstein series. It has an absolutely dreamy, breathtaking, peter-pan fly-over of a farm that goes on forever. Fantastic shots of cows, old farmhouses, and the requisite sing along that inspires my babies to harmonize. It’s a guilty pleasure that I love to watch just as much as my three kids. God Bless Julie Clark for this series. I hope she got rich off of it.

Results using a six-month old test subject.
VIDEO ON: eyes wide and glued to screen, jaw hanging open. VIDEO STOP: baby looking around room. INSERT MICKEY MOUSE VIDEO: baby crying. RE-INSERT BABY MACDONALD: eyes again glued to screen. He occasionally smiles and jumps up and down in his walker during some of the music. During the “Old Macdonald Had a Farm” rendition, he makes noises that I interpret as an attempted sing-a-long.
He’s been watching this during visits to Grandpa’s for about a month now and it is holding his attention as good as ever.
This is CLEARLY his favorite video, followed closely by Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals. Might be available in DVD but I don’t think he cares.
