Looking to rock out with the kids but tired of listening to the same old tunes? Check out the latest release from Starfish – Enter Sandbox. Starfish is a New Jersey rock band of dads. Their newest CD delivers 12 great rock and other style tracks (reggae, pop, punk, etc.) They shipped us this disc for review and we love how much fun it is! Kids and parents can both relate to and enjoy listening to it – we sure did this past weekend! The lyrics are clear, fun, and about important things in kids’ lives such as tree houses, time outs, homework, and parents who always say “no”. Our favorite songs are “My Name is No”, “Elephant”, and “Little Willy”. Enter Sandbox also comes with a booklet of lyrics. This is definitely a collection of songs any family will enjoy listening to over and over again
If you’re looking for a different sort of lullaby CD and are a fan of Natalie Merchant, check out Natalie Merchant – Leave Your Sleep. This is a 2 disc set filled with her renditions of 19th and 20th century British and American poetry – well-known and obscure works, anonymous rhymes and children’s lullabies. It’s not your average children’s album but it definitely evokes feelings of childhood.

Rockabye Baby / Hushabye Baby was kind enough to send some CDs for us to review: Kanye West, Journey, and Taylor Swift. We were a little skeptical at first because when one thinks about lullabies, Kanye West hardly comes to mind – but these CDs were great! Rockabye Baby takes popular rock songs and transforms them into lullabies by substituting drums and guitars with soothing instruments. Hushabye Baby does the same with country music. What a fun way to listen to music with your child! We especially love that there are no words – just softer instrumental versions of your favorite songs. Don’t limit these tunes to nap time, they make perfect background music for quiet playtime or riding in the car. Of course we have our favorite tracks! On Journey, Open Arms and Don’t Stop Believin’ take the cake. Check out there site for fun onesies, samples of the music and gift packages too!

Does your child love all things construction? The John Deere Earth Mover Action DVD is footage of real construction equipment like excavators, loaders and bulldozers. Preschoolers will really “dig” pretending to be real construction workers and singing and dancing to James Coffey’s songs.
Face it, technology is everything with tweens. They wear their iPods while doing everything from hanging out, biking, skateboarding and doing homework. The iCap MP3 Player is a fun gadget that clips onto the included cap (or helmet of their choice). It comes with a built in MP3 player and speakers so when they are riding bikes or out and about they can hear their music and the noises around them.
