Hip Hop Baby...
This sounds like a lot of fun... A new educational DVD for preschoolers has combined America’s most popular children’s songs – such as "If You're Happy and You Know It," and "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" – with beats rooted in hip hop.
Titled "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" the video hopes to encourage toddlers and preschoolers ages 2 to 6 to explore music, language and sounds. Little ones can learn ABCs, animals, body parts, colors and numbers through musical performances that mirror today's hottest hip hop tracks.
Emmy Award-winning television producer and mom, Candi Carter, created "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" with both parents and children in mind.
"I was looking for that new, cutting-edge toddler video that would appeal to my 3-year-old and to me, but it didn't exist," says Carter. "My son always loved it when I sang his favorite songs in the kitchen, tapping out rhythms and beats with spatulas and spoons, so that's how this started."
"It's Hip Hop, Baby!" also features real children, not actors, showing child-friendly movements that develop listening skills and the ability to follow simple directions.
Dr. Lisa Thornton MD, pediatrician and host of "Health Corner" on Lifetime Television says, "It's Hip Hop, Baby!" is 22 minutes of programming I would recommend for any child."
