Editorial Review: Product Description: Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 11/07/2006 Amazon.com: Very young children instinctively use their senses to explore the world around them and find sensory games fascinating. In Exploring Together, Matt Lauer and his daughter Romy read a story about the five senses and begin to explore which body parts are used to see, hear, touch, taste, and smell. As they read, the Muppet babies are discovering their own senses while playing, singing, and going about their daily lives. When Elmo smells the banana pancakes his Dad is cooking in the kitchen, Elmo's Dad sings a "Smell a Smell Waltz" and makes a game of exploring the different smells around the house. Prairie Dawn and her Mom use their sense of hearing to play hide and seek and go on a treasure hunt around the house to see "what's making that noise" while Baby Bird and Nani Bird search for a lost toy and play games involving sight. Baby Cookie Monster pleads for a "Teeny Tiny Taste" of his Grandma's fruit salad and explores his sense of taste as only Cookie Monster can. Interspersed between Muppet segments is footage of real life children and their caregivers using their senses to explore a wide variety of everyday objects like plants, sand, and food. The bonus "Here's an Idea" segments offer parents a selection of sensory games to play with their children, parenting tips, and commentary about what concepts the Muppet babies are learning in specific scenes of the show.

 Rating:  - Great fun for children and parents!I think these videos are wonderful, and very educational. I watch them with my daughter. I love to watch her smile and laugh at the baby characters. I recommend them to everyone. I loved sesame street when I was growing up. Now she can enjoy them too. Rating:  - Bad BeginningsIt isn't that videos for kids 0-2 can't teach them anything, or entertain them a great deal - its just that doctors and researchers have noticed that it greatly impairs more subtle development during these crucial years. Sesame Street started out with a very noble purpose: reaching latchkey and inner-city youth with some of the best educational methods available. They are now on the other side of the same research - this is about getting kids hooked on their brand. I'm sure they have ... Read More Rating:  - Disappointing We purchased the first two in the Sesame Beginnings DVDs for our daughter and loved them. They have been viewed a hundred times easily. This one, however, was a big disappointment. As others have stated, the sound quality is very poor. During the human segments, you can hear the background noise from the street outside, and it is almost louder than the people in the DVD. I can't believe that this made it past the final editing/screening process. The charm of the Sesame Street characters is ... Read More Rating: - Not as Good As The First Two In The Series...As many others stated, this one is not nearly as good as the first two in the series...Beginning Together and Make Music Together...but my sons (2 and 3 years old) still like it. It doesn't keep their attention quite so well, but they'll still watch it. Make Music Together is definitely the best of the three! At any rate...I'm still glad I purchased this DVD. Just not one that's watched over and over like some of our others. I'd definitely purchase the other two...especially Making Music Together...before ... Read More Rating: - Not greatWe watched this twice before I gave it to my cousin for her baby. It was totally annoying. All the segments of the real parents and kids interacting were totally boring and irritating to both me and my children. The songs were all repetitive and bland. Matt Laurer and his daughter's interaction seemed forced and rehearsed. There wasn't enough actual acting by the muppets and I was really turned off by most of this DVD with the real people. The concept was good, but it totally ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
