Sesame Street - Do the Alphabet VHS

I'm a home daycare provider. I take care of kids from ages 6 weeks to 5 yrs. The toddler and preschoolers really love this video. I love that it goes the whole alphabet 5 times so kids learn the order of the alphabet. other great rescoures are: Leap Frog - Letter Factory (2003) Great Phonics Video Sesame Street - The Alphabet Jungle Game (1990) and book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom (Aladdin Picture Books) -- by Jr, Bill Martin

my kids loves it so much, it's the only time that I can get them to stay still for a few minutes. we sit and watch it together an sang the alphabet.

My son has loved this video since he was 12 months. He is now 16 month and dances to the songs and trys to say letters. It is a great way to re-enforce the way you teach the alphabet. AND IT'S FUN!

Put in VHS and would not play (Player works fine with other tapes). Very disappointed & won't be purchasing any more tapes.

I too do not care for Baby Bear's speech impediment. In general, Baby Bear is one of the weaker Sesame Street characters. They should stick with monsters. Otherwise, the video is decent and our kid likes it. She is up to E at 18 months.

This video does a great job teaching the alphabet - the conceit is that Baby Bear can't get all the way through saying the alphabet, while Big Bird and the gang help him learn it. Having Baby Bear get stuck at a different letter each time really works - my two-year-old occasionally finishes the letter for him. This video has better between-clip production values than some Sesame Street videos - but die-hard Sesame Street fans will want to see it's songs like "J Joe Jeans and his Jellybeans," and, my favorite - Henson and Frank Oz as Ernie and COOKIE MONSTER doing "D." An incredibly funny clip. So, this video does its job all the way around - teaches and entertains! Enjoy!

While this video does have catchy songs, i did not like it that much. So far my 3 year old daughter has not learned the alphabet from it, although she watches it very often. This video spends too much time explaining why the bear wants to learn the alphabet and not enough time actually learning the alphabet. The video is 30 minutes long and i guess they only spend 15 minutes actually learning the ABCs. Although I have to admit the children enjoy it very much, for the catchy songs and the familiar characters. I suggest Dr. Suess's ABCs. My 4 year old learned the whole alphabet from watching it just a few times. I also like that it mimics the book. My son is thrilled that he can read the Dr. Seuss's ABCs book.

My all time #1 favorite sesame street video of all time ever made in 1996 it does helps kids with their abc's and it's great fun every step of the whole way the sesame street way that is ! & a childhood classic I watch it over & over again and still love it today !
