Praises & Smiles

The images are beautiful and the worship songs well done.

Our 3-year old loves this DVD. We've played it so often for him that he knows all the words and never ever gets tired of hearing it.

I was at my friend's house for dinner and my 6 month old was being fussy. She suggested I lay my daughter in her baby's swing and she would put on a "Praise Baby" video. My daughter immediately calmed down and just starred at the screen. When I got home I searched amamzon and found a copy for myself. I have used it numerous times when my daughter is being clingy to keep her occupied when I need to get something done. Again, instantly, her attention is drawn to the screen and she just watches in amazement. More recently, when she was sick and feeling miserable, she was whining and fidgety because she couldn't get comfortable, even while being held (she is 9 months now). Again, she stopped what she was doing and just watched the video. It provided at least 30 mins of peace for the entire family! I forgot to mention, my 3 year son also likes this video...not as much as my baby, but he does like it too. I recommend this video to everyone I know that has a baby and finds that they need to come up with some distraction for their child while they get things done.

I have an 18 month old boy and a 3 year old girl. This is the video I put in when I want to rest and cuddle with my son - it is very calming and peaceful, and he seems captivated by it. My daughter had always enjoyed it as well, and now sings along with many of the songs. While I would agree with some reviewers who say that the images aren't directly educational or necessarily related to the music like some other dvds out there, that doesn't bother me. I like that the images aren't as fast paced as some of the Baby Einstein shows, and I especially like the fact that my children are learning some of the praise songs we sing in church. Also, the vocals and instrumentals don't drive me nuts like much of the music that is geared for children - I actually enjoy hearing it in the background and singing along with it!

Our five month old has been watching this DVD since he was 2 1/2 months old. He loves this "show" and is glued to the screen for the entire DVD! This is a superior DVD and great for his age range. The "show" starts right away (as opposed to Baby Einstein DVDs with "commercials" and plugs for Disney)...so if he's cranky it helps that images (and the music) appear on the screen quickly. The DVD is produced so that the screen is never blank - there is always one image morphing into another. This really seems to hold his attention. The music is continuous and is very uplifting.We are completely satisfied with this DVD and are really quiet amazed at how well it holds our baby's attention. We look forward to purchasing other DVDs in the PB collection.

I bought this DVD for my daughter when she was about 4 months old, and it has definitely been one of the best investments I've made on her behalf. She absolutely LOVES it! The music is gentle and soothing. I don't think it's ever failed to calm her when she's been fussy. Plus, I love singing along with the music...it has many of my favorite choruses and hymns. (One of the neat features is that it can be played with just children singing, an adult and children singing, or just instrumental.) I think this Praise Baby video is produced just as well or better than its 'secular' counterparts. We have lots of similar DVD's for our baby, but this one is by far her favorite as well as mine! We're anxiously waiting for the next DVD in the collection.

My 5 month old and my 3 1/2 year old just love this series of videos. They find them very entertaining. My 3 1/2 year old asks to watch it quite often. He loves the music and has learned the words to each of the songs. This is important to me because of the Christian messages contained in the lyrics.I like the option of changing the narrators voice to adult or child.The video also shows children of different ethnicity and children with disabilities,this I feel is very important because it has prompted my 3 1/2 year old to ask many important questions.No, they are not as professionally made as the Baby Einstein videos, however I feel the message of the music and the visuals used are more important than the quality.I highly recommend this series of videos.

I have two children- ages 2 and 4- and they LOVE the Praise Baby DVD's. I was first introduced to them in our church nursery and haven't looked back since. The music is calming and enjoyable, not like some other childrens DVD's or CD's that are obnoxious and annoying for parents. My oldest child has special needs and thoroughly enjoys listening to the calm nature of this DVD and watching the basic and colorful pictures. I highly recommend all of the Praise Baby DVDs.
