Barney Now I Know My ABC's :: Education by Design Store

Editorial Review
Preschool fundamentals--including shapes, colors, and the alphabet--are the focus of this one-hour program set in the after-school learning center familiar to viewers of Barney & Friends. Today, everyone is preparing for an art show, which provides plenty of scope for Barney's gentle tutorials on circles, squares, reds, and blues, while he incorporates beloved songs such as "Mister Sun." Viewers will be inspired by the students' art projects (which are easily replicated at home) as well as the lesson on mixing colors to create new hues. Then it's off to Baby Bop's tea party, a perfect segue into the realm of ABC's. As Baby Bop learns to spell her name, there are plenty of rhyming games and alphabet songs to incite audience participation. While lacking the originality of some of Barney's earlier music videos, there is no denying this lineup of merry songs and feel-good familiarity make this a cozy stroll into Barney's world.

My 2 year old loves it

My 2 year old loves this DVD, and it is his ritual to watch either this DVD, or another Barney DVD he has, everyday after his bath. He knows the order of the songs by now, and sings along to parts of the songs as well.

My son loves it

My son is 2 1/2 and loves this movie. Since watching it he's taken a great interest in shapes (particularly triangles)! This DVD is also great for helping him continue to learn his letters.

Good video

All of my children have grown up on Barney. They especially enjoy the songs which teach the children life skills, the alphabet, and counting. I definitely recommend this video.

God Bless Barney!

Like most adults and parents, I can't stand Barney. In fact, I almost hate him. Wow, that's big for someone nicknamed "nice girl". I don't like to let my kids watch TV or videos much; but, there are times when they are just making me pull my hair out and I can't get anything done.

Enter Barney. I throw in his videos or DVDs and POOF, instant quiet. My 2 and 4 year olds just sit there. They don't fight, they don't push, they just stare at the TV, mesmerized and happy. It's like they suddenly joined a cult. God bless Barney!

SHAPES and Abc's

I think that this video is great. It begins with shapes and then reviews letters by spelling names and singing songs!! I like to play it in both English and Spanish. The video is a good length too. Not to short and not to long. My 1 and 1/2 loves Barney!

not what i expected.

i bought this and the number dvd because my son had been very interested in some old barney videos i had from 10 years ago. he was not interested in these new dvds the way he is with the older versions. seems like the older videos are more interesting and songs easier to follow.

barney is always good for toddlers

really entertained my 18mth old but definetly not a video to learn your abc's this video is mostly colors and shapes theres alot of songs and bright colors and a small part to learn abcs my daughter did learn to say red and abc so it is a great addition to our collection
