Lots of children enjoy coloring, but MusiColor adds another level of interest by turning colors into music notes.

Each of the included MusiColor Markers represented a note on the scale (yellow is “C”, for instance). When the paper discs [...]

Party Like a Twinkle Star is probably the cutest name I have ever heard for a children’s album.
And there is an element of genius in this album by Charity and the JAMband: it contains two CD’s; one with danceable songs for “rockin’ out” and one with chill songs for “tucking in”.
The “party” songs are energetic [...]

Since I started teaching preschool this year, I’m even more keenly aware of the importance of quality children’s music.
I use music in my classroom almost all day long. More than half of my class speak English as a second language. Through songs and rhymes, they can engage with the class and get some fantastic English [...]

Don’t hate, you know you did it too!
In most games, there is a winner and a loser, but that is not always the case in tic-tac-toe. That is one game that can end in a [...]
