One of my favorite apps on my iPhone is Pandora radio. You can type in your favorite artist and it will create a station that includes that artist and similar artists on it’s very own station. It plays very few commercials and the mix of music is always great. Until this morning, I had never thought of using it for kids music. We received an email with this information:
*Type the name of any of the below kid genre stations into the “Create a Station” box on Pandora for hours upon hours of musical delight and discovery:
Toddler Radio – Meant for kids 4 and under, this station is educational and fun! A variety of toddler-friendly themes and music genres are explored. Look for Sesame Street, Disney, & The Wiggles among others.
Lullabye – Meant for kids 5 and under, this station is designed to prepare your tyke for a nap or bedtime (or any time you want to bring the energy level down a notch). It’s full of mellow sounds and sweet lullabies.
Radio for Kids – Meant for kids 7 and under, this station is fun, educational, and not too baby-ish. For kids who are moving on up from Toddler Radio. Many musical genres are included here, and due to the variety and quality of songs, it’s enjoyable for kids and adults!
Rockin’ Kids Radio – Meant for kids 7 and under. This one is my personal favorite; an energetic station good for dancing, room-cleaning and high-energy play. This station is a winner for kids (and adults!) who love upbeat music. Rock out, kiddos.
Tween Radio – Meant for ages 8 to adult. This station is appropriate for those too old for children’s music but a bit too young for rock ‘n’ roll’s more adult themes. It includes pop music favorites like Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers, and the cast from “High School Musical.”
Cool, huh? You can get Pandora on your smartphone, computer or a new TV or connected BluRay player. Check out Pandora.com.
