I don’t know if you’ve heard of them, but we love the band They Might Be Giants! My husband and I were fans before we had kids, but they have a lot of “educational” songs that are great for kids. Below are some of our favorites! If you enjoy them, they also have a podcast geared towards kids.
Why Does the Sun Shine (Ka-Blam version)
Seven Days of the Week
Particle Man
Istanbul (Tiny Toons)
One of my favorite songs is “Mammal” but I couldn’t find a video for it, but definitely download it to your MP3 player if you have one! (Also, don’t let your kids visit the youtube site itself for the videos, they may have filthy language in the comments).
Do you have any educational songs or videos you’d like to share?

Getting up and dancing is a big part of getting the ants in our pants to groove. In fact my son is dancing with Garfield the Movie read along right now! We all have our favorites Jack Johnson & Friends Curious George tops my list.

Glad I could introduce you to them, Julie! I love them because they're a group that adults and kids can both get into!
I have liked TMBG since I was in middle school. Were you even born then? LOL Okay, just joking.
We (and Amanda's family) also really love the Barenaked Ladies' kids CD. :) Mostly it's not educational, but some of the songs are.
