| _____________________________________________________________ |
| Baby Van Gogh? is an engaging exploration of six basic colors ? red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple ? through the art by Vincent Van Gogh and the words of six charming poems. We've combined the poetry with silly puppet shows, humorous sounds effects, interesting real-world visuals and the great music to engage your baby in a completely unique way. Learning opportunities encountered in the ''Video Board Book?'' can be extended by reading and studying the traditional book with your child. The book can also be read prior to viewing the video to create experiences and develop knowledge that are reinforced in the sights and sounds of the video. Both ''books'' have been designed to expose young children not only to words, but to concepts like color, motion, feelings and words in written form. In Baby Van Gogh a canvas of engaging visual and auditory experiences has been created. The program is divided into six vignettes, each dedicated to a particular color and crafted to provide countless ''teachable moments.'' Point to objects in the video and identify their color in context with the images (ie ?See the yellow chicks??). Ask your child what he or she thinks of when they see a particular color or how that color makes them feel. Have your child name other objects that are the same color. And as Vincent Van Goat creates each masterpiece, show your child that pictures and paintings are combinations of many colors. This type of exploration is a great precursor to a drawing or painting activity. Also encourage your child to explore form and shape using Play Dough or clay. And finally, extend your color lessons to the real world. Have your child point to fruits at the market and identify their colors, flip through magazines with your child exploring the use of color as you go or make getting dressed each morning a color matching exercise. The music of Baby Van Gogh provides another dimension to the whole experience. As in other Baby Einstein titles, classic melodies by master composers have been engineered for little ears. BABY EINSTEIN? uses real-world objects, music, art, language, science, and nature to expose young children to the world around them in playful, enriching ways. Ages 1 and up. Running time 30 minutes. |
