Why We Rated This on for Ages 4 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    Most of the songs are about healthy foods such as bran flakes and soup. There is the obligatory dessert song, "One Donut a Day," which at least teaches moderation.

  • Role models:

    This CD celebrates the little things, like having a tasty midnight snack or pizza bagels. It might even make kids appreciate their meals a little more.
 
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Do You Like Waffles?

Parents need to know that kids who love to sing for their supper will enjoy this CD. Every song is fast-paced, which should keep pace with kiddies' short attention spans. There's not really a whole lot of substance here; think of it more as cotton candy for the ears. Little listeners won't learn to count or say their ABCs, but they'll get a silly musical menu that's all about having a good time.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about food and how it is marketed to kids. Look in a supermarket and try to notice the packaging colors and ingredients of foods designed for kids. How do they differ from foods marketed to adults? What about TV commercials? Do you notice anything special about ads for kids' food?
  • Can you tell the difference between healthy foods and foods that are marketed to be healthy, but are really not?  Begin with a discussion of nutrition labels and ingredients to move away from the marketing and into real food facts.
  • What is a healthy approach to food? Should diets be a natural part of life, or should parents set better examples of healthy eating? What is your favorite family meal? Does eating with your family make dinner more special?
