I was recently sent the new releases of the popular BabyFirstTV programs now available on DVD from Mill Creek Entertainment, and have been having a blast watching them with my girls. These past few months, Savannah has opted for other television shows over BabyFirstTV as she thought that the shows were for babies, hence the name. But, one day she came to me and asked if she could watch Harry the Bunny with her sister, who was watching it in the other room with my husband. I told her that she didn't have to ask, and that it was ok. Then, she said, "But, it is for babies, right? And, I am not a baby?" I asked her why she thought it was for babies. This is when she said, "The channel is called BabyFirstTV...and I am a preschooler now." Ahh, my heart was breaking hearing this, as she continued on about how she missed watching this and other shows that air on this educational channel for babies through preschoolers. I wondered why she stopped watching this channel, which she was a big fan of...but, now know why.
I took Savannah into the living room, and together with her sister and dad, we sat together and watched a few of her favorite shows. I wish you could have saw her eyes light up with excitement, as she watched the shows with her sister, pointing out things to her, and showing her sister how to count, telling her the names of the colors when the show "Color Crew" came on, and even reminded Bella that Harry the Bunny would be coming soon (she thinks this is the Easter bunny). :-) It was so nice to see the girls not fighting and enjoying TV time together. And, from the point on, Savannah started to watch BabyFirstTV.
If you have never watched programming on this channel, which is geared towards babies through preschoolers, and have little ones, you really have to check your cable line up and see if it is available, and then tune it. Or, if you own a Roku, you can order the channel from their channel store and pay a monthly fee of $4.99 -- well worth it for the educational content provided. With so many educational channels and programs available for babies and preschoolers, I was happy to find shows on BabyFirstTV that both of my girls, who are 15 months apart, could enjoy together, and learn at their own speeds. While Savannah is more advanced with her vocabulary and counting, Bella is quickly catching up thanks to their interacting together and BabyFirstTV.
I shared past rave reviews of BabyFirstTV DVD's which Mill Creek Entertainment released, and I have eagerly been awaiting the release of these new titles, which went on sale as of March 18th. And, even though we have only had these DVD's a short time, we have been busy watching each DVD. Savannah, especially has enjoyed catching up on missed programming and watching some of her favorite episodes which have already aired on television. I am not going to bore you with a review of each and every one of the new BabyFirstTV releases. But, I will share more about each title, including a link to purchase -- Note: each DVD is only $9.99, making them affordable to pick up individually or surprise that special BabyFirstTV fan in your life with the collection, in time for Easter. These would make for a great Easter basket filler, don't you think? Or, if you are planning to homeschool or do pre-kindergarten prep with your child, these DVDs will make learning things like colors, numbers, matching, sorting, etc. that much more fun, and easier for children to grasp concepts through fun characters and story lines. My girls are picking up new things each and every time they watch these DVDs and we tune in daily to BabyFirstTV, and friends with little ones also rave about the exceptional educational programming this channel offers little ones.
