NatureBabyTV- Patterns in Nature/Nature up Close

I bought both of these DVDs as original presents for friends who were having second children, to give them a bit of well-earned 'time-out'. I like many parents prefer the concept of kids playing interactively, rather than watching a lot of TV, but these appealed to me, due to the imagery being more natural and educational in context.

I found the 'Patterns in Nature' one of the few things I've watched with my toddler (just over 2 years old) that we both enjoyed.I loved the seasonal images, and the animals, birds and spiderwebs. I found that due to the lack of storyline, I had to tell her about the images to keep her involved, but it was a relaxing way to spend a half hour together. Younger children would perhaps be more 'mesmerised' by the images, and not need the adult input.



The Nature up Close DVD was less interesting to watch as an adult, but probably stimulating for a younger baby, due to the bold shapes

My husband felt these were expensive for half an hour, due to cartoon feature films you could get for a lot less. I bought these, but wouldn't choose a cartoon film, so I guess it's down to personal choice).
