My girls, ages 7 and 5, love music, whether they're singing and dancing along to a favorite character's theme song in our living room or a popular song on the radio, they are constantly singing. It seems like once the lyrics go in, they are easily remembered and repeated. So, I'm always monitoring their music and trying to find wholesome age-appropriate music for them to listen and sing along too.
This summer my girls have been enjoying the music from Happy Kids Songs. Happy Kids Songs produces adult quality music that is entertaining and age-appropriate for younger children.

How did we incorporate Happy Kids Songs?
-After downloading the songs, I reviewed all songs and decided which ones were most appropriate for my girls. Most of the songs had a catchy beat and had a good message for young children. However, there were several songs that I did not find appropriate or beneficial for our home; therefore, my girls were unable to listen to those particular songs. Once I decided which songs were a good fit for our family, I simply burned the songs on a CD.
-After reviewing the songs, I wasn't sure how my girls were going to respond. My girls love music, but they are very picky about their music. They listened to the Happy Kids Songs, while free playing and while in the car. They enjoyed many of the songs, but found some songs a little too childish.

What did I like about the albums from Happy Kids Songs?
-The songs were age-appropriate for younger children and the themes were directly related to common issues for the age group of 3-8 years old. However, several topics were questionable with how they were presented. I would highly recommend parents to preview the songs first and decide which songs are appropriate for your children.
-The variety of music was refreshing. Each song had it's own style. There were adult and child soloists, children's chorus, and a wide range of instruments and styles of music.
-You can create your own custom CD for your children by downloading and burning only the songs that you want. This is extremely beneficial.
