Okay, so I got this Baby Newton DVD for my 6-month-old thinking it'd be another cute educational video. Boy was I surprised when my little one actually paid attention for a solid 15 minutes! That's like baby attention span gold right there.

The animations are super simple but somehow magical. Like, who knew triangles and circles could be this entertaining? The colors are bright without being overwhelming, and the music has this weirdly catchy rhythm that even had me tapping my foot.

Here's the thing though - it's definitely different from older Baby Einstein videos. More CGI, less puppets. At first I was like 'hmm not sure about this', but my baby couldn't care less about production styles. She just giggles at the lion puppet every single time.

Pro tip: The shape song is an absolute earworm. I've caught myself humming 'I love my shapes, oh yes I do...' while doing dishes at least three times this week. Send help.

Would I recommend? Absolutely! It's not going to turn your kid into a tiny mathematician overnight, but it's 20 minutes of peaceful learning time where they might actually pick up some shapes. And let's be real - any video that keeps them entertained longer than a crinkly toy is worth its weight in gold.
