About Baby Einstein

Originally developed by a mother, the Baby Einstein company strives to create enriching, interactive products and media for infants and young children. The innovation offered by the company is the creation of learning/play materials from a small child's point of view.

In 1997, the company was born from the mind of Julie Aigner-Clark., a mother and teacher who wished to expose young children to the classic gifts of art, music, language, and more in a way that was exciting, enjoyable, and most of all -- in a way that made sense to their young, growing minds. Today, the company has a vast array of products and media available. In 2001, Baby Einstein joined with the Walt Disney company to expand the scope and distribution of the products. Current collections include products aimed at preschoolers as well as infants.

DVD's, and CD's

Age-appropriate infant media is one of the areas Baby Einstein is renowned for. With gentle, but stimulating audio and visual creations, art and music come alive as baby's natural appetite for curiosity is strengthened even further.

Concepts and themes such as shapes, animals, seasons, the body and senses, and much more are explored through DVD. Colorful animation is combined with classical music and art to create engaging programs. Popular titles include:

Baby's First Moves
Baby Bach Musical Adventures
Baby Neptune - Discovering Water
Baby Mozart Music
Number Nursery
World Animals
Baby Shakespeare
Baby Noah
Baby da Vinci
Baby Newton -- Discovering Shapes

In addition to video and DVD's, other media include the popular Baby Einstein CD's. These offer a range of musical option -- lullabies, traveling songs, playtime music, and more.

Books and Discovery Cards

Sturdy and colorful, the Baby Einstein book collection offers visual appeal and creative learning to delight parents and children alike. In addition to common concepts such as shapes, sizes, animals, and colors, the Einstein books offer themes on topics such as dreams, rhyming, feelings, poetry, and the rainforest, among others.

In addition to their standard book options, you'll find chunky board books, life-the=flap books, touch-and-feel books, puzzle books, mirror books, pop-up books, musical books, and bath books.
