So Smart! uses…

 

Gently animated, bright colors and simple images that are specially developed for babies and toddlers.

 

Minimal, smooth scene transitions, choreographed like a ballet of images woven together, while avoiding the use of sudden changes in viewpoint or camera angles, which can confuse and over-stimulate babies and toddlers.

 

Slow, easy-to-follow pace that encourages interaction and participation—usually in the form of laughing, clapping, “talking,” and dancing!
