 Connects the dots between sounds and what makes the soundApr 20, 2010
By P. Wong
We had started out parenting with every intention of limiting our child's TV time. Then my brother introduced us to Head to Toe, another excellent DVD from this educational series by Small Fry Productions, and we are now firm believers in selective viewing. I disagree with the previous reviewer who said that this DVD is a waste of time because children can learn about sounds from daily life without having to view a DVD. Yes, it is true that children hear all sorts of sounds every day but the challenge is that you cannot always be present with your child to explain what each sound is related to. And often even when you are present, it might not be convenient or practical. Example: You and yor child are in your living room when you hear a car horn. You can tell your child that was a car horn but this is meaningless to a very young child. You need to tell your child it's a car horn as well as show the car making the sound, or even a picture of a car. Otherwise, a car horn remains an abstract concept. After only a few viewings, my child is now more aware of the sounds in her surroundings. We also own other DVDs in the series: Head to Toe, Numbers, and Colors. I highly recommend all for their ability to impart knowledge to young children. Keep in mind that these DVDs are not high art by any means and they don't have to be. Simple production values are enough to deliver simple concepts. My child is entertained enough to ask for the DVDs to be played and although I find them mind-numbingly boring, I am not the target audience.

Most favourite DVD for my 16 months old sonDec 14, 2009
By Kailash Kotwani

I tried to make my son watch several among of Brainies Baby, Baby Einstien, Barney etc.
He was least interested and hardly even look at those animated or cartoony characters.
Once by mere chance I picked up this DVD from public library. I was least hopeful before putting in.
Amazingly he watched whole DVD without any movement. For me, it was great surprise. I had even given up
hope that he will ever be interested in watching any of baby's or children video content.
Its been almost 2 months since he watched it first time. He has seen it 100 of times. Every time like he is watching it first time.
He is just 16 months old...identifies most of sounds...start making them even before they come up on screen.
I've ordered whole 10 dvd set of baby's first impressions recently.
Just curious why he likes this dvd and not any other. May be this is very simple, all of it is completely real.
Its his nature, banging twisting things to find what sounds come from real stuff. He sees that on screen.
Anyway good four our baby....lets see if likes other of first impressions dvd or not.
Daughter is enthralled with this videoJan 19, 2011
By C. Rivera
I recently purchased several educational dvd's for my 20 month old daughter, mostly to encourage her speech development. Most of them barely hold her attention, ie; Brainy Baby and So Smart. But this one she is enthralled with. I don't even think she blinked once the first time she watched it! I believe she likes it so much because the sounds are real everyday noises she can relate to as she becomes more aware of her environment.

 no parent needs this DVD it is a waste of moneyAug 29, 2008
By Jorge Davila
Your child will be exposed to all these sounds and many more in everyday life.
The only sounds useful may be the few animal sounds ( 5 minutes or so) but a trip to a farm yard will accomplish this with a lot more fun.
The sounds of various musical instruments could be heard at home, at a nursery or a live concert all of which would be a lot more fun.
There must be more interesting real activities to teach your baby soft verses loud.
In my opinion no parent needs this DVD it is a waste of money.
