Product Description Opposites and More explores concepts which are critical to the advancement of your childs verbal & reasoning skills. The twenty words presented in this video are first introduced as ten "opposite pairs" using comparison & contrast to promote comprehension. Later, each word is presented as an independent concept in two entertaining stories and in a set of moving flash cards.
Customer Reviews:
great especially for children with autismJuly 2, 2007 C. Drew(Phila) Previous reviews indicate too slow moving and boring but if you know about child developement this is a very good tape. Repetition is crucial for autism and other nuerological diseases in kids. My son learned so much.
Very boring, slow and irritating to me and my 2yr oldSeptember 21, 2004 A. Anderson(Indianapolis, Indiana United States) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this video because I couldn't find any opposites flashcards. When I received the video I watched it (I watch everything before my son sees it so I know what to try to teach him). This movie is EXTREMELY boring and the narrators voice is IRRITATING. She sounds fake. I'd recommend Baby's First Impressions Opposites. The lady's voice is much more palitable and it's alittle more exciting. All of the BumbleBee Kids videos have the same narrator but for some reason THIS video is the worst. ABC's and Colors are alright (it's good to use flashcards too, to reinforce what they've learned). My son adores the numbers and I like the fact that they have 2 discs so once your kid can count upto 5 then you just go to disc 2. I could've saved my money on this video. Buyer beware!
Great tape for toddlers!August 4, 2004 C. Whittington(Moorpark, CA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great educational tape for toddlers. I have boy/girl 2 1/2 yr. old twins. My son is autistic and loves it for the purpose of learning the different words and actions. He cannot watch this show enough! My daughter who is a normally developing toddler likes the show too. She has learned about opposites as well as how to talk very politely. My neighbors have even commented on how politely she asks for things and says thank you. I have to say the tape has reinforced this with her even more than her parents. Great job Babybumble bee!
They obviously didn't even watch it themselves!June 21, 2004 This was a big disappointment. There is nothing on this tape that isn't on other "opposites" educational tapes, but there are plenty of mistakes. Shall I start with the fact that the voiceover at times does not relate to what the children are watching (for example, the voiceover says something like "the boy is picking up the car," but there is no car and no little boy. You see the car and the boy much later and without the voiceover explanation. The car that drives ten feet past the stop sign before stopping -- to illustrate the word "stop" -- was comical. Examples abound, but need I really say more?
I have purchased other products from this company in the past and found them somewhat useful (although far from great) albeit not for the age range it is targeted for. They were educational for my 9 month old baby.
I wasn't the only one who didn't like it; my son (2.5 years) loses interest in no time.
