The Bottom Line

The Brainy Baby Laugh And Learn Baby Video & DVD is very stimulating for your baby. It has a high entertainment value as well, and keeps baby happily occupied while introducing basic concepts like the alphabet, numbers, opposites, colors and more. Brainy Baby has done a great job with their educational and learning DVD's including this one, Laugh And Learn. Babies from the ages of 1+ will enjoy this, though the optimal age for the full learning value is from 1 and a half years to 2 years of age.

Guide Review - Brainy Baby Laugh And Learn Baby Video / Baby DVD

Brainy Baby's Laugh And Learn Baby Video, as the name suggests, is filled with silly but entertaining antics by a variety of babies and little kids. Visually appealing, with a spectrum of colors against a white background, these videos keep baby occupied while teaching baby some basic concepts like colors, opposites, shapes and sizes and more. My own baby sat through the entire 45 minutes run with facial expressions ranging from smiles to fascination to intense concentration.

The baby video starts off with little babies and kids having fun with sunglasses, making faces and acting silly. The background music changes from upbeat at times to more soothing, depending on the learning concepts being introduced. The Baby Video features clever usage of both real and animated toys and popular objects and animals which babies can identify with. Concepts like big/small, over/under, in/out are presented by means of comparisions.

The different scenes are interspersed with a parent singing a nursery rhyme to a child, which is very sweet. Some outdoor scenes, which I would have preferred more of, include a myriad of colorful fish in the ocean, playful dolphins, and kids having fun in a playground. At some points, the video does get slightly boring and repetitive, like while introducing the alphabet which could have been more imaginatively done. On the other hand, the use of non traditional toys and wooden toys was nice.

Overall Laugh And Learn Baby Video is a good experience for most babies.
