The Easter Bunny told me he would like to bring a sing-along dvd for my 2 and a half year old daughter. She has recently started singing all the time. I think a dvd with some kind of visual entertainment in addition to some great kiddie songs would be ideal. We have some of the Kidsongs series, which I would recommend because she loves them. What have your little ones enjoyed?
Veggies Tales sing along: Dance of the Cucumber is a good one. I think there are other Veggie Tales sing alongs besides that one as well.
Go with VEGGIE TALES!! You'll never regret it! The sing-a-longs are hilarious! And the regular movies are awesome with wonderful lessons! I can't say enough about them!

Mom to 4 boys
Veggie Tales Family(lol)
Check out the Rock n Learn series. I'm not sure that you can buy them in stores, but they have a website that lists all the titles. We have 4 or 5 different ones and my girls (5 and 2) LOVE them!
I second Veggie Tales, especially the Silly Songs compilation. As for Praise Baby, the bit I've seen might be a little young to still entertain your 2.5 yo. My 18mo is interested in them, my 3.5 yo not so much.
Veggie Tales has one that is nothing but SILLY SONGS -actually the title. We just watched it yesterday. We used to sell kids' songs tapes years ago when I worked at a children's bookstore. Might ask at your local bookstore. They would know. They'll have it either on file and/or at the store. I can't for the life of me think of the guy's name! Too much info since then.........
FOR SURE the kids songs, my daughter LOVED the Kids Favorite Songs #2, Elmo dvd as well. That was about 5 years ago but I bet you can find it still!
Have a great Easter!!
The Praise Baby DVDs are WONDERFUL! They are similar to the Baby Einstein ones, but with praise and worship music.
We had two he really liked, one was a Disney Sing A Long and the other one was Veggie Tales.
my kids absolutely love the Laurie Berkner Band. She has a website. www.laurieberkner.com. My older kids were totally into the Veggie Tales too. Very cute stories with a good message. The Silly Songs one someone mentioned was one of their favorites.
You should check out Veggi Tales! As long as you are not against god. My daughter used to love the silly sing along, and sadly they can get stuck in your head to, lol. But they are really good, even the movies which has songs on them too.
My kids love the Veggietales movies and silly-song sing alongs.
Santa had a similar problem one year. My daughter liked the DVDs from Laurie Berkner and Suzi Shelton.
We don't really watch much TV, but my nephew loves the Wiggles.
A great dvd is The Letter Factory by leapfrog. It teaches the kids their abc's and the sounds each letter makes while singing. My daughter is always singing the song and knows the sounds the letters make because of it. I really recommend it!
Hi! Nice to meet you! I have a little boy who just turned 3 who also loves to sing, but mostly only in front of me or by himself. I do think that the visual helps (I also am a teacher - elementary/spec. ed.). We don't have very many singing videos, but he has enjoyed Favorite Nursery Rhymes by Baby Genius, which includes a CD of the songs on the DVD as well as some additional songs. The other video that has some nice songs is Sesame Street's 25 Years: A Musical Celebration - this one has mostly songs that Sesame Street has made up and it's not probably not quite as easy to sing along to as the Baby Genius Nursery Rhymes. We haven't tried the Kidsongs series - I'll have to look into that:). Thx! K.
YO GABBA GABBA!!! our household is addicted to it!!!! i have a one year old son who has been loving this visually stimulating show since he was three months old. we noticed how he would just drop everything and become one with the tv when this how comes on. he still does it. he hears the little tone of the theme song and he runs from wherever he is to go see this show. the show is fun to watch, the songs are great, and each show has a theme. there are also lessons to be learned (dont bite your friends, keep your place clean, watch for germs, sharing, get up and move, discovery, etc) in a very fun and compelling way. of course you are probably already watching the show on nickelodeon or noggin. we have DVR'd all the episodes. the merchanidsing for this show is through the roof, which attests to the popularity of the show. as a matter of fact, we are gonna go watch it right now!
