Voy Baby: Discovering Colors
We recently received Discovering Colors from Voy Baby. Voy Baby has produced a series of educational DVDs to help build a cultural bridge between Latinos and those discovering Latin culture. We popped it in the other night after dinner to see what it was all about.
It's a pretty simple and straight forward DVD which reminds me of the popular Baby Einstein DVDs. The first thing you do is choose your language, so the DVD is either in all English or all Spanish. As far as I could tell there is no option to mix the two languages. The DVD displays and announces a color, and then presents a short scene involving the color. Sometimes there are small children playing, and sometimes there are Latin themed puppets, mobiles, or other objects. Occasionally it wasn't always clear to me how the color was integrated into the scene, and sometimes it was absent altogether.
Anderson seemed to enjoy it. He wasn't as enthralled with it as he is with his favorite TV shows like Blue's Clues. He definitely let me have a few minutes to myself while he watched it though.
The DVD is labeled as appropriate for 0 to 36 months. Anderson is 9 months old, so I'm not sure how much an older child would appreciate the DVD. It doesn't contain any memorable reoccurring characters that make other series so successful, so there is probably only a limited amount of re-playability as your child ages. Older kids probably wouldn't find this among their favorites, however there is some education value to it, especially if you play it not in their native tongue.
The DVD is 56 minutes long, and will be available on February 6th.
