There is no shortage of choice when it comes to nursery rhymes CDs but some are, quite frankly, terrible. So thank goodness for this amazing new take on a tired genre, Oxbridge Baby – Nursery Rhymes is a collection of timeless classics that have been updated for today’s generation.
Sometimes you come across a hidden gem that you wonder why you don’t know about it and this DVD is one of them. ‘Learn to Talk’ is a DVD that really does what it says on the tin, it helps little ones when learning to talk. We came across this title when several parents we know started to sing it’s praises.
Why is it that when you start to hoover your little one falls asleep? The answer is called ‘White Noise’ and that’s exactly what this CD is full of.
Being a new parent there are always a million questions you wish you knew the answer to and there’s not always an experienced mum or dad around to help you out. That’s why a classic book that every parent we know owns is ‘What to Expect – The First Year’.
Sometimes it’s easy to forget the classics that every little one should be introduced to and one of those gems is the excellent book, ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’. It is a children’s story written by Eric Carle and was first published in 1969. However even by todays standards it has lost none of it’s charm or magic.
We discovered this DVD after attending one of the excellent Sing and Sing baby classes a few months ago. Developed with the help of Speech and Language experts and launched in January 2001, the “Sing and Sign” program has since taught thousands of parents across the UK how to sign with their babies and encourage amazing early communication.
We all want to ensure our babies have great learning experiences and anything ‘educational’ that we put their way is always good. So okay, at a few weeks old they are not going to be reading Shakespeare but one book that will have them captivated is Faces by John Fordham.
There’s nothing better than playing a fantastic CD to help your baby get to sleep at night and ‘Lullaby’ by Sophie Barker is one of those fantastic CDs.
There are lots of products on the market that claim to help your baby learn quicker/faster/smarter but not all of them live up to their hype. However one that does is Bamba’s First Comforts which has been created by the Baby Sign Factory to develop and promote early communication skills whilst at the same time making baby signing fun and easy.
This is the DVD that started it all! Owned by Disney, the Baby Einstein company is known by parents around the world. Baby Mozart is the most popular title in their extensive collection and is an award-winning musical banquet for little eyes and ears.
GreatBabyThings.com has been created by a group of parents from the ‘gadget generation’ who’s Sunday brunches had turned into a competition to see who’d found the best new baby thing that week.
