5.0 out of 5 stars So Smart Lives Up to Its Name, July 25, 2003

This review is from: So Smart - Colors (DVD)

I bought this based on good Amazon reviews, and our 6-month-old daughter is absolutely captivated. She has been watching it about two times a week for about six weeks, and watches the entire half hour from start to finish without losing interest. My 17-month-old nephew saw it for the first time at our home, and he asked to watch it twice in a row, so it apparently also goes over well with older, active children.

The artwork, storylines, and music are simply charming, and the narrator's voice is very soothing. I think of the Baby Einstein series as putting my daughter into a "wiggly" mood, whereas she seems to concentrate and become contemplative when she watches So Smart.

Personally, I prefer the So Smart series to the Baby Einsteins (Mozart and Bach) we also have, because the production is professional, and does not seem as if it were created in the basement of someone's home. I would categorize this as "highbrow" baby entertainment, if there is such a thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stupendous, May 16, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: So Smart - Colors (DVD)

It stupefies me that one company can get something so right when another is way off. When my son was 7 months old I purchased on a whim the So Smart Letters and the Colors DVDs. He has loved watching both them, which I'm sad to say isn't true for any of the Baby Einstein videos I've got for him. Now at a year old he gets excited as soon as he sees the So Smart splash screen. I would be eager to recommend these DVDs to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining and Well Produced, August 15, 2002

This review is from: So Smart - Colors (DVD)

What a wonderful DVD! As a mother of 3 children, the only time I have to sit down is with my two youngest children, ages 10 months and and 3 years old, is for the duration of a DVD or Video.
The So Smart Colors DVD offers soothing music and colorful images that keep both the children's attention at the same time. It is most favorable to my 10 month old, who coo's and ca's when it comes on. She will only watch 4 videos, The two So Smart DVD's we have (Shapes is another must have) and the Baby Know-It-All Videos, that are reality based with children. But as far as other animated videos like Baby Newton, she hasn't really been interested in the collections other than So Smart.

The extras and games are perfect for our 3 year old. They help to follow up on what has learned. You also get the music too.
It's perfect for music only activities, and extends the life of the product, adding considerable value.
