My Thoughts

With my kids liking music as much as they do I find it very important to expose them to all types of music from all over the world. With both my girls I like that they enjoy just about anything I play for them and as my tween is developing her music taste I see that she has included some of my likes as well. With my son it is more hit or miss, but occasionally he picks up on some pretty cool sounds. My whole family really enjoys the Putumayo Kids and all their music selections. They have been used in fun ways to teach my kids about music and where it comes from. I recommend all CDs from Putumayo Kids.
