Sometimes, it may seem impossible to find music that’s not only appropriate for the kids but also doesn’t—after a couple of listens—make you shudder as if you’re hearing nails on a chalkboard. We’ve done the dirty work and found some kid-friendly music that will allow you to maintain your sanity.
Wonderstuff by Recess Monkey
This double-CD set tells the story of Everett the Wonderbee, who travels with his friends to save his home from The Gray. Though the story will appeal to the kids, parents will appreciate the well-composed music. This is one album you won’t mind putting in when your kids request it.
Baby Loves Hip Hop presents The Dino-5
With an infectious beat, the Dino-5 tells a story of friendship and acceptance. This is a great way to introduce your kids to hip-hop without having to worry about subject matter. This album will most likely be enjoyed best by kids ages 4 and up.
Nine Inch Nails might not have been the first thing you thought to play for your infant, but Rockabye Baby! is changing that. They have transformed songs from groups such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Green Day, Bob Marley, and Tool into beautiful and soothing instrumental lullabies for baby. The music is so good that you may find yourself listening to it even when the little ones are asleep.
