4 The Kids

Because we love to teach our children well here at Play4me, we've put together some videos of our favourite artists doing songs 4 kids!

Feist has recently appeared on Sesame Street singing a new version of 1-2-3-4 (thankfully, for all of the younger viewers, she's amended the "5, 6, 9 and 10" part of this ditty so as not to confuse any children taking notes on how to count to 4).

Have a squiz at the appearance below, it's pretty cute! There are certainly a few of us who work at Play4me who'd love the chance to dance with the Sesame Street crew. (Honest, please email info@play4me.com.au if you'd have us :-)

The original of this song appears on her Reminder album. Grab your copy, or listen to a preview of the album here.

Another favourite band here is New York funsters, They Might Be Giants. Over the years they've produced a few CDs and DVDs for the younger members of society. Since we've shown Feist teaching kids how to count above, here's They Might Be Giants teaching kids the alphabet (and a bit about geography too):

To stock up on your They Might Be Giants goodies, head on over here.

And then... From the less-informative world of Children's entertainment by our favourite rock and pop stars... There's the timeless movie, Labyrinth. It may not have taught us much that you'd find in a text book, but I can think of many a person who attributes their love of rock music, tight-pants and big hair to watching The Labyrinth as a child.

Here's our highlight:

Grab Labyrinth on DVD here, or get the soundtrack here, or check out all of our David Bowie goodies here (note: there's a lot on special!)
