Nursery Rhymes

My friend has started a youtube channel with for nursery rhymes that are more soothing than annoying, at the moment he only has one video up (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star), and its only an instrumental, but he says that he is in the process of recording vocals to make a vocal version, and put up more songs soon.

I think its quite a beautiful version of twinkle star, and the video is also quite nice, and should be enjoyable to adults aswell as children, i certainly like it, and im 35. If you enjoy it, then please encourage him to make some more songs, i think he needs all the support he can get.

Anyways, i found this thread helpful for finding new music for my kids, and hope that my message is helpful to to other people too.

Music videos for kids

I watch children's educational music videos on youtube with my kids almost everyday. There's a lot of good stuff there. For example, Toddler World TV (http://www.youtube.com/user/toddlerworldtv) is one of my favorites. The songs are written by Dr. Matthew J. Dorman (he's an ethnomusicologist), and his children's folk group is called The Little Blue Globe Band. I use Toddler World TV to teach my kids basic shapes, colors, etc. Check out The Flower Song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBoHLbIicxY) -- it combines a lullaby with learning. Excellent. Another good youtube channel is Kidstv123. Lots of great content and original compositions. There are other channels, too. Make sure you scan the content first to make sure it's good for kids!

I just got Ziggy Marley's Family Time, and we are loving it. The sound is different enough to catch their imagination and make them dance.

AWESOME recommendations!!! All of my kids LOVE LOVE toddler world tv!!!!!

I stream it from my iPad and they ask every day to watch a different video. Awesome for a rainy day. I have a program that will take YouTube videos and burn them onto a DVD. I make a few copies and send them home with the families. Free of course.

My special needs daycare child will stare with wonder over the flower song and because she's hospitalized at least once a month, her mom takes her YouTube DVD to the hospital with her to help keep her calm. Recently, she was admitted while at a doctor visit and her mom didn't have the DVD. The child CRIED literally the entire time until mom could get home to get the video.

We have Spotify on all the time here! What I like about it is when I play something it comes back with suggestions for similar music. I have found some great artists this way.
