My boys love to watch dvd’s, that no secret in our house.  So when I was introduced to eebee, I was automatically excited because eebee encourages babies to do and discover.  Yes, I said babies.  Chandler is 3 1/2 and is definitely not a baby anymore, but he is constantly asking to watch Eebee.  At 15 months, Rowan is intruiged with Eebee, but that is to be expected, right?

Pros:  I think a company’s goal and philosophy is incredibly important, especially to parents.  As taken from eebee’s adventures website, here is an exerpt of their philosophy:
“eebee’s adventures are designed to engage you and your baby with rich play experiences that provide powerful lessons that memorizing letters, numbers, colors and shapes simply can and do not.”

I think it’s great when babies and toddlers learn ther numbers, colors, and so on, but it doesn’t teach important things like cause and effect and problem solving.  I am so happy to see a product that is based around this very thing.  
We were able to review a 3 dvd set featuring Eebee, which included:
Exploring Real Stuff
Figuring Things Out
All in a Day’s Play
Each dvd includes adventures with eebee, play by play guides (expert commentary on every adventure), a developmental perspective (a video Q&A with academic leaders), eebee’s beat (a mini music & movement adventure), and song selections.  They are each 75 minutes which makes them a great value.  
I love that all three of these dvds explore cause and effect.  Rowan is really into this stage as he often drops his sippy cup from his high chair simply to see what it will do when it falls.  There are numerous ideas for parents to help their children explore different properties in the eebee dvds.  
In the dvd,  All in a Day’s Play, they show a baby banging on pots and pans.  This may not seem like much, but it allows babies to explore sound, music, soft and loud, and rhythms.  I decided to put this to the test, and it was amazing how I could see the wheels turning as Rowan banged on his pots and pans, and discovered all of these sounds, etc.   
 The possibilities are endless, and I love how it encourages developmental skills with your baby.  In the dvd Figuring Things Out, a baby is allowed to experiment with a flashlight.  This was also a big hit with both of my boys and really allowed them to explore light and dark, and on and off.  
I think eebee is a perfect fit for babies and even toddlers.  A cute, brightly colored puppet is just the key to engage attention.  The eebee theme song it catchy and I find Chandler getting up to dance every time it comes on.  
As Eebee’s tagline states:  Every Baby Learns By Doing.  I couldn’t agree more.
Cons:  Honestly, I tried to find a con with eebee and I couldn’t.  Ultimately, I am writing the reviews, but feedback from my two munchkins is the most important to me.  When I see them learning and exploring, and developing their senses, and staying interested in something for more than a few minutes, it’s amazing.  That’s a great product.  
The Bottom Line:  Hands on dvd series that teaches essental developmental skills, while still being entertaining and engaging.
Price:  $17.95 per dvd, or $48.45 for a 3 pack
