Pandora Stations

[Rockgirl]

Which ones do you listen to in your daycare? Sounds strange, but I'm not a big fan of music geared toward children. We listen to Children's Indie a lot. They play Beatles, Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, and similar. A kids' song is thrown in here & there, but not "kiddie" songs, if that makes sense. If I want to calm things down, I put it on a yoga station. We do listen to Disney if we're outside...it tends to make them want to dance and sing super loud.

We also have times with no music or background noise at all in the playroom, but it's almost always playing in my kitchen--I'm a big music lover.

I don't know anything about pandora though... Except I think I've seen it on my sons roku?? If so, are you aware of a Christian channel like KLOVE?

Every genre imaginable is available. The Christian ones are broken down into many categories. You'd definitely find one you like on there!

We've been listening to Disney alot. I love that I can "like" and "dislike" certain songs. Then it tailors the songs it gives us to what I like to hear.

I like that feature, too. I've considered giving "Let it Go" the ol' thumbs down, .

I have Sirius/XM satellite radio and I keep mine tuned into "Octane" (which is pretty heavy rock...) in the kitchen area where only I can hear it...

I turn it down when the kids are eating or at the table.

Other than that, I don't have music playing in the background for the kids at all....they make enough noise on their own... ::

During rest time if I don't have an audio book playing I will put on a CD of Raffi or Baby Einstein lullabys and sometimes seasonal music (Christmas, Halloween etc...) CD's made by Fisher Price.

Love Pandora!

For playtime: either Toddler Radio, James Taylor Radio, Baby Einstein or similar.

For feeding and bottle time before naps: we listen to Lullabye Radio, Piano Radio or Relaxation Radio with lights dimmed. It's amazing how they look at me and noticeably become more still and quiet when lights are dimmed and radio station changed. It cracks me up!

It really does change the mood! One day, I changed it to yoga, and a four yr old boy put his middle fingers to his thumbs, held his arms out, and said, "OOOHHHMMMMM". Lol!

I love listening to Octane and Lithium! I only have it in my truck so I don't get to listen to it very much.

There's a two yr old girl here who would love those stations. Her dad plays in a local rock band, so she hears it all the time. She loves it--it's pretty cute to see her rocking out!

I love the suggestions, I've just been turning on the Kids Bop channel, which is all pop but with kid-friendly lyrics. The kids love it because most of them hear it on the radio with mom and dad and can sing and dance. But I love the Disney and Yoga ideas!

Mine is portable so I use it like an I-pod and can put it in the dock in the truck or on the docking station in the house. I can also use it like an I-pod and use earbuds too!

BEST purchase I ever made!

DH has the kind that has to stay in one place.

Thanks!
I was going to ask how one would go about listening to Sirius radio in the home, but was too embarrassed... I'm seriously technologically challenged!
