Peck of Pumpkin Poodle

A little extra noodle in our loaf this go round to keep your family singing, rhyming, jamming and goofin’.

Clap it Back - We begin with a rhythm song for kids called Weird Picnic. This clapping game develops rhythmic awareness in children and has some fun with the very strange eating scenarios families have been experiencing recently. ✪

Rhyme Time - This rhyming game will grow a phonological wunderkind right in your home. It’s a children’s music activity that parents love too. ✪

Echo Song - Summer Is Hot - This kids song about summer celebrates sun with singing. Repeat after me styler songs are a great way to help kids learn musical pitch, rhythm and singing confidence. ✪

Kids Talking About Stuff - Kids have a candid discussion about skin color. Can it be it was all so simple then? ✪

Finish The Pattern - This music game develops pattern recognition and promotes the art of making music with your mouth be it for beatboxing or voice foley ✪

Jam Along - We end the show with a jam session. Break out your improvisational drumming chops and play along with this kid-friendly funky groove. ✪

✪✪✪ FAMILIES BELONG - the new board book from Dan Saks available from Penguin Random House ✪✪✪

Knobs and Faders

Hey, how's it going?  What's new?  All is great you say?  That's great to hear.  Nothing to report on our end.  Just some extra down time to fill with singing and dancing and drawing and having fun.  Let's do those things together, ok?  Great, bye!

Who doesn’t love a good rhyme? Barn / Yarn. Isn’t that fun?! Rhyme Time is our phonological awareness building party game. Highly recommended for fans of fun times. ✪

Knobs and faders keep you in control and so do salad bars. Cause you can take whatever you want. No onions? No problem. Extra feta? The more the betta. This Echo Song celebrates healthy eating and empowerment through choice. It also helps kids learn to sing. ✪

Kids Talking About Stuff is just that ✪

For the Guided Doodle grab a pencil and paper and then follow the instructions to draw a mystery drawing. This one develops listening skills, music appreciation and a sense of wonder. ✪

We're back with more singing, dancing, laughing and learning! So dub the show onto a blank cassette, pop it into your tape deck, press rewind and then join in the Noodle Loaf fun!
