About a month ago I found a video by this group and showed it to my kids. They loved it, but I didn’t really know anything about them or hadn’t seen any of their CD’s in any stores, so I kind of let it go back to my mind. About 2 weeks passed and I saw someone mention them on twitter and promptly followed them there http://twitter.com/slugsandbugs and was able to get a CD. (Thanks a lot guys!).
We have been listening to them in the car now for a week or so and my kids ask about them every time we get in the car and sing their songs around the house, going out to eat, and basically everywhere else we go. (My 3 year old is sitting in front of me right now singing one of their songs.)
So, why the post, here’s a recommendation! If you have kids and are looking for a positive alternative for them that is actually enjoyable to listen to with them, here’s one to check out. Also, if you work with kids, you may even want to check them out to see if they would be able to come do a concert.
You can find them online at http://www.slugsandbugs.com/ and can even find their blog which covers a little bit of everything from their lives, parenting, music, and their tour. http://slugsandbugsandlullabies.wordpress.com/ They also have a Facebook fan page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Slugs-Bugs-Lullabies/180044255682
Below I included a few of their videos so you can check them out too. I actually picked the two that were my kids 2 favorites.
