 Tiny Love DVD MagIQ - Tiny the Dog
Description
| Product Description |
|
| MagIQ DVD is a breakthrough in helping babies develop critical social, emotional and cognitive skills by enabling real-time interaction between a cuddly "Active Companion" and digital media. Your child can watch as this adorable puppy responds to on-screen action with an array of synchronized words, sounds and exclamations -- all while encouraging your baby to do the same. These specialized "Active Viewing" experiences help form a "MagIQ triangle" between your baby, the companion and the television. Your child will no longer stare passively at the screen -- instead she will look aside at her friend, pondering its reactions. This causes her to explore her own feelings and react proactively to the stimuli on the screen. Running time of DVD: 45 minutes. |

My daughter adores this toy. She got it when she was 4 months old and she still loves it. Very educational and age appropriate, great features like additional car CD and the fact that you can use the dog as just a soft toy that's interactive. My daughter just stared at it first and smiled when the toy interacted with the TV. She also loved it when we would press the doll's button and it would just talk or sing all by itself. At around 6 months she loved to chew on the dog's ears and also started trying to push the button to make the doll speak, but was not strong enough until she was about 10 months old. She was so happy when one day she succeeded and the dog sang the belly button song for her. She is now 1 y.o. and still loves the toy. She tries to imitate the words from the DVD, she hugs and kisses the dog and makes it dance when it sings the songs and the car CD is a godsent for the long car rides as her "Doddy" can keep her entertained on long trips.
It had some problems at first: 1) The first toy we got did not work at all so we had to exchange it. The second one worked fine. In fact, we've only had to change the batteries once in 8 months. 2) I don't like the light and wish it was less bright, but I don't think it's such a big deal. I tried to stare at it for a while myself with no ill effects. 3) For the people who have hard time getting the doll to tune in - turn the TV up for the few moments while the doll is tuning in, keep all the other noise to minimum for those few moments and keep the doll turned to and relatively close to the TV speakers. 4) I wish Tiny Love would make additional cartriges with different content so the doll could continue to be used with other DVDs. 5) A little pricy.
However, all the problems listed above are nothing compared to the fun and the educational benefit my daughter is getting from the toy. We are definitely getting the cow too.

This toy is very cool! Our baby, 6 months old, loves it and cannot stop staring at the TV. I am not the kind of person who loves TV for babies, but this toy is different. It is so engaging and right on target for babies - it plays peek-a-boo, asks what is behind the door, sings simple songs, all in bright, eye catching colors. As an early childhood educator, I can say with confidence that this toy is developmentally appropriate, which means it is at the right level for our baby, and is truly a fun learning tool for him.

I couldn't wait for this to come out after reading about it in parenting magazines. My daughter gets so excited when the video comes on and she smiles at all the characters. The songs are really cute and catchy. I can only think of 2 drawbacks:
1. The belly button song is a little silly: "Belly button, belly button, when you touch it great things happen. It's my tiny tickle dot. That's the spot!"
2. What's with the bright blue light?? I'm sure it has to do with picking up the signal or whatever but why does it have to be so bright? I'm worried that it might hurt my daughter's eyes.

Overall, I think the toy is great but what is the purpose of the belly button's blue light? It bothers my sons eyes when he looks at the toy. It is like shooting a laser into his eyes. I've covered up the light by putting a tshirt on the doll but it really took away from the cuteness factor of the doll. I just can't figure out what is the point of that light.

My son has loved this from the day he got it at 6 months old, and he is now 11 months old. He actually sits still to watch it the whole 30 minutes! He laughs when the animals play peek-a-boo, and bounces around when he sees the other babies. I expected it to be similar to the Baby Einstein videos, but it is not the same at all. I can't wait to get him the next one for his 1st birthday! A great investment with hours of fun!
