Simple animation and repetition are the key here, with parachuted numbers 1-10 falling, in order, out of a dirigible, while children's voices count. They fall again silently so your youngsters may count by themselves. As with each segment in this 26-minute tape, the process repeats once or twice more. Numbers also appear on blocks and in fireworks. Then it's time to learn six shapes, including star and diamond, which appear first with a shape sorter, then as clay pressed into shape by a machine, and, finally, bouncing into a lake. All this with pieces such as the Piano Sonata in C Major, the first movement of Symphony No. 40, and the "Champagne Aria" from Don Giovanni facilitating the learning for ages 8 months to 5 years. --Kimberly Heinrichs Review Imagine those quick Sesame Street number snippets set to a symphony. That's what this video, truly geared for pre-walkers to pre-schoolers, offers. Colorful numbers and shapes pop up from the ocean, drop from a blimp or bounce on blocks over and over and, yes, over again, all while a Mozart sonata, rondo or aria plays in a very refreshing change from the MTV-influenced kids programming.

Yes! *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2000* This tape is very well put together and uses some excellent methods from early childhood education. First, it uses repetition which is one of the foundations for learning at any age. Second, it uses childrens' voices to repeat the numbers and shapes. Babies and young children tend to focus better on the voices of other children, rather than adults, because of the pitch and modulation of their voices. Third, it uses fun and upbeat music as the background for the video. This helps to retain the childs interest in what's going on on-screen. Last, but not least, the video images that have been chosen are colorful and fun to watch. There is alot of movement and activity on-screen to keep your child's attention and focus on what's being taught.My daughter received this video when she was 8 months old. She didn't show any real interest in it until she was around 11 months. By 12 months she could say one or two numbers (in the correct place) and now at 14 months she can say almost all of them. She's also shown a greater interest in the numbers around her as well (on her toy phone, or on the mailbox, for example). She really likes me to sit with her and repeat the names of the numbers along with the tape. The shapes she's not shown as great an interest in, but her interest seems to be growing with age.In all, I think this is an excellent video, both from an educational and entertainment perspective. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars Appropriate if you're brainwashing your baby *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2006* My wife and I have bought quite a few educational videos so far for our 11-month-old, and this is by far the worst. It is extremely repetitive-- it consists of the same exact computer-animated spinning shapes with numbers on them repeated over and over, which quickly bored our baby. It's literally the same thing over and over and over. In addition, the whole thing has a weird feel, almost as if it's an attempt at hypnotism. My wife noticed this separately from me. It's hard to explain.The Mozart music playing faintly in the background can't save it, either. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your money, or you may wind up throwing it in the garbage as we did. I think it would actually make a child less intelligent to watch this DVD often. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Not for us. *by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on July 20, 2014* my boys didn't like watching any of these type of dvds - they never held their interest - Gave them wooden blocks instead to teach them counting or the counters and did the flash cards for visual number reading - worked better for us --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/21654005-numbers-and-shapes](https://www.desertcart.at/products/21654005-numbers-and-shapes) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
