This article is in collaboration with Happy Kids Songs.
What was the last song to get stuck in your head? Was it good or bad? It’s amazing how much of an effect music can have on us. Not only can the music itself influence us, but so can the lyrics.
I monitor music carefully at our house but I don’t have to worry about monitoring the music from Happy Kids Songs. Happy Kids Songs produces music that touch the behaviors & habits of children 4-8 years old. With adult-quality music and kid-friendly lyrics spanning a variety of genres & styles, the songs from Happy Kids Songs will entertain & educate. They produce 8 albums, each with a free PDF containing the lyrics and a corresponding worksheet.
Our crew members received the following items for review:
Friends & Sharing (Vol. 1)
The Friends & Sharing album contains 5 original songs:
– Sailing on the Seven Cs (about the “Ingredients” of friendship)
