This is good for teaching counting

"They seem to like this although the attention seems to be lost a little by the time it get's to the middle. I think the short ones are much more fun and interactive for them, the Childrens favorite songs, and Childrens favorite Nursery Rymes are the best ever."
Teaches number recognition but not concept of counting

"We got this for our two and a half year old to help her learn her numbers and start to learn to count things from 1 -10. After about a month of watching the movie she can recognize most of her numbers but still does not really understand conceptually what they mean. In the video there is a song for each number 1-10..for example, number 2 is a song about two dogs playing and shows pairs of dogs running around. But then several of the songs don't even show the right number of objects. Like number 7 song is supposed to be about 7 llamas, but in the video it only shows like 3-5 llamas. The songs are mind-numbing to me, but do keep our daughter and our 1-year old son entertained with the songs, even if they're not really learning counting. Also, the movie is a super low-budget production, which normally would not bother me, but there are a few clips that are recycled through the video and hokey animated characters walking across the screen all the time. I would not recommend this to a friend as a good product for teaching counting and there are definitely better entertainment videos and more effective educational videos out there for little people."
