Baby Einstein Classics Season 2: Episode Guide & Ratings

Between 12 and 24 months, little ones become increasingly interested in more complex ideas and begin to explore numbers and counting. Numbers Nursery introduces little ones to numerals 1 through 5 in a captivating, interactive way that invites them to join in, clap their hands and count out loud.

As babies grow and change, so does the landscape around them. Every season of the year has its own special magic just waiting to be discovered. Baby Monet takes little ones on a sight-and-sound-filled journey through the seasons using playful puppet shows, images of nature, children, and masterpieces by Claude Monet set to excerpts from composer Antonio Vivaldi's timeless "The Four Seasons."

With Van Gogh, Dolittle, and other Baby programs under their belts, the tots will sidle up to Baby Newton expecting a similar exploration of building blocks to brilliance, but this time there's a wrinkle or two. Animation makes its first appearance, and parents steeped in keep-it-simple culture may object to the springy "I Know My Shapes" song, a departure from classical-only video predecessors.

As babies develop, their understanding of the world, and how its pieces "fit" together, continues to progress. Discovering Shapes playfully introduces five basic forms circle, oval, triangle, square and rectangle as each appears in the context of toys, nature and everyday objects.
