Mom-Tested: 8 Great Educational DVDs for Babies & Toddlers
Since experts recommend that kids under two shouldn’t spend much time at all in front of the TV, when picking our top “educational” DVDs, we chose ones we thought were worth their screen time: They impart new skills, are amazingly produced, or have stellar soundtracks. We steered clear of DVDs that were reminiscent of each other (you've seen one collection of images set to music, you've seen them all), and we avoided ones that were, er ... painful for Mom and Dad to watch. Enjoy these top picks with your child!

Noodlebug: Let's Pretend
Carus Publishing
Best for: Moms who need a break but feel guilty letting their toddlers watch television.
Our mom testers said: "My toddler has been singing the songs for weeks. Even better, my preschooler enjoys watching with her!"
Why it's a top pick: Produced in conjunction with the Cricket Magazine Publishing Group (famous for their fab titles like Babybug and Ladybug), this DVD combines stories and music, live action, and illustration-like animation. The magazine-like variety of content inspires creativity and a broad world view and is sure to get your little one imagining, moving, grooving, and playing along.
Suggested retail price: $19.99
