Kiboomu ~ Children's Music Review and Giveaway

"KIDS GROW SMART WITH MUSIC"

Recently I had the opportunity to review a down loadable music album from Kiboomu.

Kiboomu is company formed by two women, Sherry Segal & Wendy Wiseman, who were both leaders in Canada's children's and education industry. Wendy and Sandy brought together their knowledge of music, education, publishing, and entertainment their companies Turmont Publishing and Kidzup Music were thriving.

In December of 2009 after selling their other two companies, they launched Kiboomu. Kiboomu focuses on digital edu-tainment. Combining their knowledge of music and education the company has many education children’s products they offer digitally which allows them to not only be at the top of the rising digital trend, but also help to reduce consumer waste. Educational, Fun, and Eco-Friendly all spell a recipe for success. Add to that talent, and a desire to give back to their community, and you have one amazing company.

I received a digital copy of the album, The Top 30 Preschool Songs, and Squish LOVES it. Both Wendy and her daughter sing on the album, along with several other children, which I personally believe is one of the major appeals to my son. He claps along with the songs, stamps his foot, and turns in circles.

I like how the album focuses on skills a preschooler should be working on. Like numbers, letters, gross motor skills, and repetition. The songs are a mix of classic songs, and others I was unfamiliar with. My personal favorite song is “The Circle song”. I love that I can sit with Squish and work go through the motions with him clapping, stomping, shouting, and counting together. Squishy’s favorite song is most likely “If You Are Happy and You Know It.” No matter what he is doing, when he hears that song he has to stop and clap.

“I would teach the children music, physics and philosophy, but the most important is music, for in the patterns of the arts are the keys to all learning.” – Plato

Teach. Sing. Learn. Give Back. That’s what Kiboomu is all about. It’s about creating music and apps that not only entertain children, but educate as well. It’s about encouraging children to be creative through song and play. But, most of all, it’s about filling a child’s day with laughter while expanding their growing minds in a fun and inviting way. If we can accomplish that, our mission is complete!

A portion of all sales goes toward feeding kids through the Kiboomu Foundation.- Kiboomu Website.

In addition to music Kiboomu also has apps you can download onto your iphone. These are sure to keep any toddler busy!!

I found this album to be fun, creative, entertaining, and definitely Squishy Approved. On the Squishy Rating Scale we give this a Super Squishable!!
