Little Einsteins
Have you seen the Little Einstein's movie or the daily show on Disney? It is fantastic. I would let my boy watch this thing 50 times a day if it were on that much. I am going to write a proper review here eventually but I just wanted to mention how much I love this show.
Joe is constantly pretending he is Leo, I am Quincy, Daddy is June (LOL) and Bear (our dog) is Annie. He walks around holding Butterfly and pretends he is in the cave running from the bats (this is from the plot of the movie, but not in a scary way) all day. I'm serious - we do this several times a day.
The shows are full of classical music and extremely sophisticated concepts for preschoolers, like paintings from people with very hard to pronounce names and musical crescendo and the different oceans of the world - but all in a way that makes it easy to understand - fantastic!
Edit: I have a lot of people coming here looking for Little Einsteins toys and the Toys Have arrived! Check DisneyShopping for plush toys, a rockey costume, and a couple of books.
The videos and more books are here
. And, you can visit the website for stickers and games.

I'm not trying to spam you by any means, but seeing your (and your kids love) of Little Einsteins, I thought you might be interested in my site TV for Tots (www.tvfortots.com). It has news about preschool televsion. For Einsteins I have an episode guide. Also, Disney will be airing 10 episodes straight through on November 18th.
Thanks for the great blog! And AMEN to letting them watch it 50 times a day. This is the ONE show that my husband and I wholeheartedly love our son to watch. He just turned two, and loves Rocket. He doesn't ask to watch Little Einsteins, he asks for 'Wocket!'. :-)
I'm one of those people looking for toys. When we need our little boy to chill and relax, we watch a Little Einsteins. They're his mellow-out comfort food. And VERY educational.
Yeah, I'm on the lookout not only for Little Einstein toys, still, but for NEW EPISODES. The christmas one was nice but I wish they could make them a little faster :). If I hear of toys I'll post them here.
Amazon's currently listing 4 upcoming books and a new DVD ("Team Up for Adventure") for April 2006. It's also been noted on a few other sites that this will be the beginning of a full-scale product line, so I can only imagine there'll be CDs, toys, and all kinds of good stuff available soon. My son and I watch it religiously every morning, so we're plenty eager for those books. In the meantime, he's got The Great Wave of Kanagawa on his wall and a mix CD of most of the episode music; the music's easy to find on MP3 with iTunes. He loves the CD--might be something worth doing if you're chomping at the bit (like us) until April.
C'mon LIttle Einstein toys!!!! Their KILLING me! :-) As a music teacher I LOVE this show, naturally. My son and daughter FLIP when I say no (becuase they were bad or something...) My son will be 4 in 2 weeks, and has been begging me for a Little Einstein cake and toy. While I do cakes on the side, this will be a challenge for me to create. Oh well. Can't wait for the product line!!!
Hi...I'm 18 and I love this show as well! Leo's my fave and so...yeah...bye!-_-'
I'd love to see that Little Ensteins cake! Are you going to post a pic on the internet if you do it?
Hello, I have twin boys of 2 and a half and we live in Worthing, UK. My son Jed absolutely loves this show, we have to sing the song all the time.
I wish they would get on with some toys, he's desperate for Rocket!! We have to keep making "Playdoh" ones.
Best childrens show for along time, and so glad they actually speak correctly!
Donovan and Ciara's Grandma says....
LETS GET SOME TOYS MADE OF THIS SHOW! WHAT ARE THEY WAITING FOR???
WE LOVE THE SHOW AND WOULD WELCOME IT ON MORE TIMES THAN JUST ONCE IN THE MORNING!
I'm just finding out about Little Einsteins. My oldest daughter, who's 2, has really enjoyed them! Our family loves music!!
My nephew loves the Little Einsteins so for his 5th Birthday we had a little party with his Kindergarten class. Since there are no decorations to speak of I had to design/make them myself (I also did that for his first birthday which was Baby Einstein) Well here are pics of what I did for him. The first picture is of the party bags. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/8377/bags1sg.jpg The second is of his cake http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/5238/cake0vm.jpg the third is some of the party favors, the four smaller pictures are what’s on the bubbles. http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/5555/partyfavors1yq.jpg the fourth is the piñata http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/4923/pinata6mf.jpg the fifth is the t-shirts I designed the day we took him the Legoland http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3623/tshirt1zt.jpg the sixth is the t-shirt he wore to his party http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/661/tshirtb6vb.jpg the last two are the Valentine’s I designed for him to give to his class. http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/544/valentines1qo.jpg http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/5521/valentines26zd.jpg
Hi there! yes I'm another one of those people just waiting for their line to come out. So far I have only 2 dvds and just that was hard to find. The first dvd I bought at wal-mart and the second was at sears...I was surprised that there was one with 3 episodes on because the first dvd I bought was the giant adventure story. My son watches einsteins all day...I MEAN ALL DAY! this is the only cartoon that he ever liked and it's good cause he likes the interaction parts where they pat and dance. Hope you keep me updated. Thanks. Kamakani
Hi there! I'm another one of those moms whose child just loves einsteins. I had the hardest time just getting 2 dvds. THe first was the huge adventure and then to my surprise there was one other dvd I ran into by accident that had 3 episodes...I had to have it! My son watches them all day, everyday and I do mean ALL DAY! This is the only thing that helps me to get by in the day and persuade him to do things that I want him to...lol! Well when you get more info, let me know. I know that they sell shirts but what kid cares about the shirt? I'm sure they'd rather have a toy.
I found this link because I too am lookig for Little Einstein products. I found this on the Disney website for LE: In July, “Little Einsteins” apparel, sleepwear and accessories will be exclusively available on DisneyShopping.com. For Holiday , DisneyShopping.com will include additional items in their assortment. Disney Consumer Products plans to release a complete line of “Little Einsteins” product in 2007.
I couldn't agree more with your opinion of "Little Einsteins!"
Finally a childern's show that teaches them about music. As a musician, I completely appreciate that my 3.5 year old now informs me when I'm speaking too loud that I need to diminuendo :-)
What other show would teach him that!
I hope this show makes it and many more episodes get produced.
Now if we can just get a toy rocket that I can give him.....
to imagineer
i looked at your pictures of the stuff that you did for the little einsteins party. can you let me know how to do that, as i want to do it for my daughters 2nd birthday party.
does anyone have any ideas for a little einsteins party. my daughter loves the show and im determined to have this party for her 2nd birthday. all ideas welcomed
thank you
The disney store has a make your own t-shirt for Little Einsteins. they are also coming out with some pj's and such in July 06'. Actual toys and party supplies won't be out till sometime on 2007 :(
they finally posted something on the Disney Website about this because of all the requests for merchandise.
We've got a house full of LE devotees, too! We're actually dressing up our 3 girls and mommy and daddy as the Little Einsteins for a halloween party at Disney World this year (big sis is June, middle sister - who wears glasses - is Leo and wants us to dye her hair red, baby sister is Annie, daddy is Quincy and mommy is dressing up as Rocket. Homemade costumes are the best!! :)
Hello, My baby Christinne is only a year and she looooves LE so much in Latin America is Mini Einsteins. Since this is the only tv show she watch i had to make toys for her, its crazy! I love it to, she can hardly say Leo and Rocket. The funny thing is that she wants to sing along with Anne. For her party I brought t-shirts and printed the LE logo for each kid, I had the cake made with another pic I found online ,it was very difficult beacuse there are no plates o anything, so we got plates and cups with different colors and lots of ballons, remember the episode that Annie lost her ballons, well thats an idea for yor babys bday. Take an episode of your preference and thats the theme. Hope my idea is helpfull. Bye Bye e-christinne
My family has become HUGE fans of Little Einsteins, as well. Although we like several of the Disney shows, they seem to annoy my husband and older son. But when it's time for the "ZieZies" (Einsteins), we all enjoy watching with our nearly 2-year old boy. And yes, we have a regular viewing of one of the DVDs everyday. Their addition to his language skills and education has been a welcome surprise.
Check out Disneyshopping.com there are some Little Einstein items for sale. I just had to buy my 3 year old the rocket costume. He absolutely loves it. Also, they have lunch boxes, pajamas and a backpack for sale.
My daughter will be turning 2 next month and is crazy about Little Einstein. We have been taping them on our DVR and have about 10 episodes stored up to pop on for a "wocket" fix for those moments that we need one. When Little Einsteins isn't on t.v., she is chattering on and on about rocket. I just noticed on Disney's website that they are supposed to be coming out with a full product line in 2007, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
my 3 year old son absolutely loves little einstiens.we have managed to find 4 dvds at walmart and they are in rotation all day everyday. i cant wait till the toys come out so i can buy him "wocket".
I have 3 year old twins that absolutely love Little Einsteins! My little boy runs around with a red Fisher Price tow truck... that is his "rocket". What an imagination! He also has 2 Fisher Price "People" that he calls "Annie" and "Quincy".
They watch the DVDs, but we can't wait for a line of toys to come out!
I thought I was alone in thinking that Disney is taking forever to come out with a product line. I've requested it several times at the store and I started to think that we were the only family out there wanting these darn things!! I'm afraid my kids (now 5 and 3) will grow out of the Einstein faze before they get some toys on the shelves!! It's nice to read others are going through the same thing.
We will definitely buy the Little Einsteins toys when they come out in '07. For now, our DVR does all the work. Our 3 year old loves the show!
My kids enjoy Little Einsteins and I love them being introduced to various artist and locations around the globe. A couple of weeks ago we celebrated my son's birthday and had a Little Einstein themed party. I created invitations and printed them with the 4 characters and rocket saying we're on a mission to celebrate his birthday. I made the cake and drew Rocket in icing. We had big music notes hanging from the porch, plenty of balloons, prints of famous art work posted around, a cake shaped fun-jump/spacewalk, and the Little Einstein's CD playing. I printed coloring pages from Disney's website for those who didn't want to jump to have something to do. For the main theme activity, I made 7 posters with images and set up vignettes to represent the continents and everyone at the party followed my son, dressed in his Rocket costume, thru the house for a trip around the world...at each location the kids got a treasure for their goodie bag that fit the place they were visiting ("boomerang" whistles from Australia, wind-up penguins from Antarctica, "monkey paw" clappers from the jungles of South America, Chinese yo-yo's from Asia, etc.). Tableware was just primary colors. Snacks were animal crackers, bugles, goldfish, fruits, cheeses, etc. Oh, for the hats I did basic colors but dressed them up with music note stickers. The thank you notes I printed myself also; they had Leo, June, Annie and Quincy with word bubbles saying "thank you very much" each in a different language.
Very nice site.
I love seeing that parents are so involved in making their children's birthdays so special!
We are having my daughter's 4th birthday at Disney's MGM Studios. That's where they are featuring the Playhouse Disney shows and character meet/greets. The Hollywood and Vine restaurant @ MGM features the characters of Leo and June who interact with the guests. She LOVES June and has met her before while at the park, so I know this will be a special time for her and her friends. Jojo and Goliath are also going to be there from Jojo's Circus. I honestly think we parents will be more excited than the kids. They keep us young!!
* As for toys, I know they have the plush characters at the Disney Parks so possibly they would also have them in the Disney stores that seem to be popping up in each state.
Hello! I also love this show. I started recording it every morning on my DVR so my little one can watch it. He started watching it at 6 months and loved the song. He would listen to the song at the beginning of the show but now that he's 8 months old he'll sit in front of the tv for about 5 minutes of the show. I know eventually he'll watch more of it but it's the only show that doesn't annoy me and I love to watch it with him.
Jamie mommy to Grant!
I bought a set of Little Einsteins PVC playset from ebay for my twins, they absolutely love this playset. If you are looking for Little Einsteins toys, this is a must have...it comes with all the charactors including the rocket..very nice.
I also bought the Little Einsteins playset from ebay around Christmas, I also bought a talking Activity Board recently, my baby absolutely loves the playset, it has been two months, she has been playing with the playset nonstop... now she likes to invite her friends over to play, it sure keeps her busy... so out of all the toys, I would recommend the playset for all the moms out there looking for new toys.

oh, by the way, this is the ebay store I bought from, in case you need this..this seller has a lot of Einsteins toys, I don't know where they got them, but it is worth checking it out.
oops, I just check my previous posting, apparently the link doesn't work, but the ebay seller's id handle is: hulalaa

i'm looking to dress teh kids up as leo and quincy and can't find a black tee shirt or a yellow one with green sleeves, any suggestions?
portland lupe
A friend recommended the show about six months ago, and my 2 yr old son has been hooked every since. I just wish they had more toys like a toy rocket. He can't say Little Einsteins, so he calls the show, "Rocket"!! I want to get the bedding and everything.
you can make your own shirt at the disney store online. kids love 'free for all' playtimes too, even more than tv:-)
I am so glad Disney is clever enough to introduce arts ans culture to children! I let my daughter watch this show every morning as it has expanded her love of singing to listening to great composers as well! Bravo Disney!

Any ideas for a dress to use for a June costume? Not sure where to find something that would work. Too much sewing...not an option!
Here's an idea for quincy. Shirts are $6 each. Cut sleeves off the yellow one and put it on top of th green.

Good luck.
I just found a website that has detailed instructions on how to put together a "Rocket Cake". It sounds fairly easy. I have already promised my son one for his 4th b'day so I am thrilled to actually have a plan on how to do it! Check out www.amazingmoms.com
Children's Place has perfect stuff for June costume. Purple dress has ballerina edgeing. Plus they have a sparkly pink headband and pink sequined shoes. (they look like ballet on top and are gym shoe bottoms.) My daughter is over the moon!

I'm desperate for LE rocket with LE figures. I found the figures online but haven't found the rocket. Any ideas?
Has anyone seen Little Einsteins wall posters in stores?
They were sellin the rocket at Target for 40.00 . They should be getting more in. It is the pat pat rocket. It is really cute.
The little Einsteins birthday party merchandise is finally available for sale. You can find the most stuff at the Toy hunt.com and celebrate express has some of the party ware as well. I know alot of people were on the lookout for it, and it came just in time for my son's 4th birthday. We are super excited.
Target has a good selection of toys and clothing. Also google party supplies they do have b-day gear out there.
Just planned a Little Einsteins party. Great fun. Started w/ classical music & instruments out. Then played “June Says” (like Simon Says…dance like a gazelle, hop like a rabbit, etc.). Used jumbo sticker book on eBay for “Put Rocket in his House” (Pin Tail on Donkey). Played “Run, Run Rocket” (like What Time is it Mr. Fox?)…one kid was Rocket and picked the style…staccato, allegro, etc. Another kid was Annie and picked a number. Others held hands & were Big Jet. Big Jet stepped as Annie & Rocket said. Scavenger hunt. Ended w/Curtain Call & clapped for everyone.
I created the rocket cake. Awesome! Found it on two websites & combined great ideas. From this website I used Twinkie idea for the engines. (Freeze 'em first).
http://www.amazingmoms.com/htm/party-little-einsteins-birthday.htm
From this website I figured out the frosting. Her cake looks _just like_ Rocket, because she trimmed cake for shape and did fancy frosting. But…the kids still loved the one we had.
http://www.andreasrecipes.com/2006/11/11/little-einsteins-rocket-birthday-cake/
I used canned frosting.
So here’s the list of ingredients I used…
Any cake mix…one 9” round and one medium soufflé bowl,
1 can of pink vanilla frosting (Pillsbury),
1 jar Wilton No Taste Red gel,
2 twinkies (engines), long toothpicks to attach (red plastic),
1 tube Wilton Ready to Use Frosting (windows) with Wilton leaf tip,
2 Lemonhead candies (headlights),
Red Tootsie Pop or Charms blow pop (rocket top),
Assembly was pretty much as described by Andrea.
Good luck. Have fun.
I don't know how old this post is, but they sell Little Einstein toys at disneystore.com if anyone is looking for them. My son is 11 months and loves this show, seems to be the only show he's interested in...LOVES THE THEME SONG and stops anything he's doing just to listen to it...
Anyway, tons of toys on that website!
