Summary: My 14 month daughter loves this video!
Review: My daughter showed interest in counting whenever I read her numbers book so I borrowed this video from our local library. She loved it. I bought her, her own DVD.

There's toys and children to guide you though counting from 1 to 20!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful Educational Video
Review: I have nothing but praise for this video. Our son who is 4 has Pervasive Developmental Disability just loves this video. He was able to count to 10 before the video but only in some type of active game. Now he goes around counting everything. He is even recognizing the symbol for each number. Pretty amazing for a boy who didn't speak more than 30 words or want to interact too much 6 months ago!!! Keep in mind that this video series is meant to educate your child and it does it very well some things aren't meant to be entertaining even though this is to some degree. Sometimes simple and direct is better.

Summary: bore my baby video
Review: I know that repitition is good for a learning child, but this video carries it to an extreme. Almost the entire video is counting objects. There was no real entertainment for me or my 3 kids. My four year old and 3 year old could not sit still for more than 60 seconds to watch this. My 8 month old seemed even more disinterested then the rest of us, and she is the one I bought it for. The most exciting part of the video was the song they sing in the middle of the video about counting your fingers and toes. I bought this video after watching the Brainy Video Left Brain tape. That tape was very entertaining. So I was very disappointed that this tape was so dull and boring.

Summary: school teacher and mom of 3
Review: We LOVE this video and with three kids in the house someone is asking to watch it everyday! I don't mind because it is happy and makes you want to get up and dance. Within a week our kids were racing to get to see who could get to 20 first and that is great because other videos stop at 10. This concept has also laid the ground work for showing how higher numbers are 'put together'-How awesome is that?! Because 123's has been such a success we went out and got the ABC's video-thanks Brainy Baby!

Summary: Finally, a video for children that goes past the number 10
Review: It's very important to note that a key differentiator of this video is that counting is shown from numbers 1 through 20 on a wide variety of objects, including fingers and toes. These "real-world" examples really struck a chord with my 3- and 1.8- year old sons respectively; both now can count to 20, with the older one counting on his fingers and toes through imitation.

I think this is an invaluable educational tool and my children have really enjoyed this video. Highly recommended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Homeschooling mom of 2
Review: This video is bright, engaging and upbeat. It drew my daughter in because children are happily doing things that all children love to do, play in the water, play on the playground, etc. The review of numbers 1-10 is quick and then we pause for a jumping around, danceable song and then it's on to the numbers 11-20. Never boring and I have found it is interesting to even older children!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Goes Higher than 10
Review: With this DVD my daughter has learned to count to 20...and I have impressed my friends with children the same age. They are getting the DVD as well, and my Church is getting the whole Brainy Baby series for the Nursery. When you see a young child with composure counting to 20 (she is barely 3) that is all the recommendations you need!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another winner
Review: My parents bought my kids a few Brainy Baby videos, and they watch them EVERY DAY (I find myself humming the music in my sleep- ugh!). 123's is just that- counting done in a fun, repetitive manner so kids can catch on easily. For ages 2 and up.
These videos are great for making learning fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great video for learning to count
Review: I brought this video for my 2 1/2 year old after we had purchased the ABC video from this same series. Before we brought this video he knew what numbers were, but he did not understand that they represent a value. Although we have only watched it a couple of times, I noticed him counting with the vido during the first time that we saw it. He video succeeded in getting him interested in couting objects, including his toes, because it requires taking off his socks which is another favorite activity.

The age range that the video represents is appropriate. If your child is ready to learn counting and numbers, the video is perfect. If your child already knows number values of 1 - 20, don't get the video. If your child is younger, you can get it and if they are not interested, it might just mean that they are not yet ready to learn the material.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Greatest teaching video I have found
Review: This video has it all. There is music and lessons in counting and some fun breaks and interludes in between. The children add a delightful quality to the counting, and the voice overs talk a child exactly the way I do, as a Mom. The music is quiet and soothing, and helps a child focus on the material. I was happy to see that they count to twenty and don't just leave it at ten. My daughter walks away after watching and counts out loud. I like that this is a 45-minute video as well. I find other videos are shorter, have less educational content, and use high squeaky voices or loud noises far too often rather than just focus on having good material. This is the ONE!
