Perfect for kids 2-6
Love it! My 21 month old loves this show. I like how interactive it is. And how it promotes the arts as a way of learning.

Poor educational value; visually confusing for younger children
Visually overstimulating for kids 3 and younger; characters speak in a loud overexcited voice continuously through the show; good vs. evil theme in some scenes is overdone (hansel and gretel, as an example). Most importantly, the show has negative educational value while purporting to teach art / music. The music / art is artificially linked to the themes in a way that is confusing rather than educational. The analogies are either silly or confusing for a child in the range of 2-4.

Missing Little Einsteins!
Little Einsteins is under a half hour! - It was great for my two year old - who wants to watch tv like his teen siblings. Besides a little Sesame Street it was the only thing I allowed. But now I can't find it! The Disney Channel has apparently changed their program schedule. Anyone know where I can look?

Great show, but silly time slot
My son used to love this show, but I wish someone could tell me why a preschool show is on at 11:30am when most preschoolers are in school. What is the point?

Excellent Show for Preschoolers
Both my 2 yr old and 4 yr old really get into it. I like that it focuses on art and music, plus the Little Einsteins always work together to solve problems.

Applause!
I think it is SO cute! I only watch a little if nothings on, and I think its pretty neat for little kids. Nothing is bad about it, the only thing that may confuse your child is the fancy words for the music-although they explain it.

Awesome show!!
My son started watching this just before he turned two and he instantly loved it. He can identify instruments just by listening to them and he knows all these musical terms that I have trouble remembering. We love this show. The characters are great, the music is great, the art is great. We own every dvd that has come out.

Expanding horizons
It's cool to learn! And the show has spurned an interest for art, music and travel. Culturally diverse and quite global for a kids show. The kids are cute and we all sing Rah, Rah, Rah for Rocket.

Lasting favorite
My daughter has watched this show since she was 2 and loves it still. Not many shows have lasted as long as this one. She learns about places all over the world and classical music. I find her humming Beethoven's 9th. I never have to worry when she is watching this show.

Annie's voice/science?
When I previewed this show I thought it was great. I love music. But as get more familiar with it, the portrayel of the natural world and science was misleading and ridiculous. At one point they had a kangaroo dodging icy comets up on the moon, oxygen helmet and all. And in order for the kids to get cheese for "rocket soup" they consulted a mouse (who don't especially like cheese) rather than a cow. And the kids are scared of snakes, spiders, and bats for no reason at all other than they are supposed to be "scary." Also - Annie's voice is terrible! Has anyone noticed what a bad singer she is? She ruins the music!
The show is rather one-sided as far as music/art vs. science, but it's a lot better than what else is out there. My daughter loves it, so I will continue to let her watch.

Keep in mind, it is owned by Disney
My daughter graduated from Sesame Street (nothing better) to the Little Einsteins around 2-2.5 and immediately fell in love with the music and adventures. She refers to what speed she wants to go as adagio, moderto, and "super fast", surprising most adults around. However, after the first season, you soon began to see the influence of Disney with the introduction of "Big Jet," "Bad Knight," etc. as protagonists. For sensitive kids like my daughter, they get scared and don't tune in long enough to find out that everything works out ok (sound like any Disney movies you've seen -- or all of them?) While we still like the show, after the "Hansel and Gretel" episode with the witch, it now requires more closely supervised viewing.

Great concept but out of TUNE!
At first I loved to watch this show with my toddler. She constantly asks for Little Einsteins, but I am very concerned that the children sing out of tune constantly, "Annie" is the worst of them all. I don't understand why Disney is putting out sub-par music. It is teaching our children that they do not have to sing in tune.
So great concept, but until the "children" on the show start to sing in tune (which they do in the opening credits) and in the correct tempo, I don't recommend it for any budding musicians!
