Kindermusik VILLAGE (0 to 1.5 yrs)
Cock-A-Doodle-MOO! explores a farm theme through music, motion and multi-sensory activities. Your chidl will enjoy the movement of “a hayride,” the vocal play and discovery using farm animal sounds (cock-a-doodle-OINK!), and lots of singing activities ranging from classic favorites like Old MacDonald and You Are My Sunshine to a Swedish rhythm song and a beautiful Armenian lullaby.
DewDrops takes you and your child into the middle of a flower garden, seeing the dew drops glisten in the morning sun and feeling the cool breeze blow. Varying styles of music are represented from the lively Celtic dance of the Belfast Hornpipe to the gentle, soothing melody of Scarborough Fair. Whether hammocking, dancing a jig, exploring a drum, singing a lullaby or using a mirror in vocal play activities, you can celebrate the joys of music and your special relationship.
At Home Materials for each unit include:
- Home CD

musik OUR TIME (ages 1.5 to 3 years)
Toddlers love to GO. Going is their gift, their license to venture out into the world and their means of retreating to the security of Dad or Mom. With toddlers’ desire to go comes an attraction to other things that go – people, animals, pull toys, tricycles, cars, planes, and more. Away We Go! focuses on things that go. Together you’ll journey through fun and exciting musical activities relating to trains, cars, buses, horses, wagons, airplanes and boats.
At Home Materials include:
- Two Music and Movement Books
- Home Activity Book
- Two Home CDs
- Shiny Dinah Carry Box
- Featured instrument: pair of harmonicas
