My Favorite Kids Music CDs
While picking out your favorite CDs for kids, your going to find hundreds to choose from. Which believe it or not is a good thing. The one thing I’ve noticed about kids music, is it so hard to find songs that are liked by both children and parents alike. I mean, let’s face it, if your going to play a CD in the car while driving hours to grandmas house, you really want to get something that everyone can enjoy. Or at least not find totally grating on a parents ears after the second or third play. Because, you know if the kids like it, there’s no way it’s only going to be played once.
Well, let’s start off with my favorite. At the very least the 100 Sing-A-Long Songs For Kids box set is going to give you plenty of material to work with. It of course has all the favorites that kids love like “The Wheels On The Bus”, and “Do Your Ears Hang Low”. It’s 3 seperate CD’s so if you get tired of one, or your super sneaky and quick, you can switch them while the kids aren’t paying attention and listen to something newer. There were even quite a few I had never heard of. This CD set is really meant for the toddler group under five years of age.
If your looking for a kids CD with a bit more of a grown up fare, then you’d have a hard time going wrong with “For The Kids”. It’s got some great tunes the kids will love, that are played by some very accomplished artists that mom and dad probably know. Artists like Tom Wait, Sarah Mclachlan, Five For Fighting and Billy Bragg. Now, don’t be concerned that all these older artists make this more of a CD for mom and dad, because it’s really not. As the title says, it is for the kids.
Music can be an essential part of any kids life, or for that matter, any adults life. It’s crucial to learning, growing, and an effective tool in reducing stress. Yes, believe it or not kids have stress in their lives as well. A bit of music can go a long way to improving everyone’s health and disposition. I know an old music saying that goes something like the more types of music you love, the more you love music. I think, that’s an important gift, and one that needs to be instilled in our children starting at a very young age. CD’s like these, make the lesson a whole lot easier to learn.
