This video is fun to watch. My 13m really enjoys it. However, my purpose was to expose him to Spanish. Unfortunately, this video is about 90% Engish and 10% Spanish; so I was disappointed.

I have twin girls that are 16mo old and they love the video ! My wife and I both speak both Spanish and English and the video teaches both of them ! This is a must have if you want to teach your kids Spanish or English !

This tape is fun to watch with your children to introduce them to Spanish. The songs are upbeat and catchy, of course all the Muppets dance themselves silly so your kids will love imitating them, and the celebrity singers, i.e. Celia Cruz, Linda Rondstadt added to the fun. It was not as long as we'd like but for an intro to numbers and short phrases, it does the job well. I also purchased the accompanying CD and this is great for reinforcing the language in the car, house, play group, etc.

Great music, and an easy way for kids (and adults) to learn Spanish. We are raising our 16 month old son to be bilingual, and this is his favorite video. Elmo and Rosita and all the upbeat music and bright colors keep his interest. It is just the right length, too.

This video is absolutely amazing! Our 17 month old daughter can't get enough of it, and neither can we! This video was our first exposure to Sesame Street. We checked it out from the library, renewed and renewed it, and finally had to return it. We all missed it so much that we had to purchase it!
Since we became acquainted with Fiesta!, we've tried other Sesame Street videos. But we've yet to come across any others even half as good.
Unfortunately, Fiesta! doesn't seem to exist in DVD format -- I don't understand why, when most other Sesame Street videos do have DVD versions.

this video is fun, colorful, and has great songs that my daughters have memorized and sing over and over again. It is basic spanish for beginners!

This video is extremely entertaining. I would definitely buy other videos to further enhance Spanish at home. This video shows that learning another language can be a lot of fun!!! for kids and adults!!! The songs are hysterical!!! Sesame is extrememly talented!!!!

If you want to introduce your child to spanish, your best route is to use the plaza sesamo videos rather than sesame street. Plaza sesamo videos are the same prices and same characters as Sesame Street. Its basically, sesame street in 100% spanish and you can buy them here on amazon. Plaza sesamo is 100% spanish which a young child of a few months will need. A young child should not need a mix of both english and spanish on the same video. It has been said that the mixture will hinder them picking up a new language. Full immersion is better. My 16 month old now understands so much just from the plaza sesamo videos. I have 4 of the videos and she watches them daily. The fiesta video by Sesame Street introduces a few terms but not a good video if you a serious about them picking up the language.

I bought this for my niece who is 20 months old. She loves it. And I think its pretty cute. She runs to the tv and asks for it and when its over she asks for it again. We are a bilingual family, she says words in both spanish and english already. My family is Cuban and listening to Celia Cruz sing the numbers song with latin rhythm is really funny. You won't be disappointed if you buy this.

My son is two and a half and he LOVES this video. We received it almost a month ago and have been watching it everyday. I don't understand why it doesn't come in the DVD format. If you have a kid with lots of energy, this is a must have.
