What's It About?

Kids can create their own music or learn to play kids' songs. If they want to make their own music, kids pick the background, choose a character, and then play with notes ("Do, Re, Mi, Fa, So, La, Ti, Do"), numbers, or colors of the rainbow. In song mode, kids choose a song and then hear a short segment of it and see which character note "speaks." Kids repeat the notes and then repeat the notes with the characters facing away to make them focus on the pitch rather than on copying which character made the sound. Good early music education.

DOREMI 1-2-3: MUSIC FOR KIDS has a lively and fun design, and kids are sure to find a familiar favorite amongst the song selection, which includes Jingle Bells and The Dreidel Song. It will hold kids interest across a span of years. Preschoolers will have fun exploring notes and the preschool skills available in the free-play mode. Older kids (and adults) can challenge their ears and their memory learning to play the songs. The preschool free-play segment doesn't reflect the challenge of the main part of the play, which is really challenging fun for elementary-age kids and older.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

  • Expose kids to a variety of music from a variety of traditions and cultures so they can develop an ear for different instruments, keys, notes, and sounds. Check out our World Music picks for ideas.

  • Let kids make music, from turning pots and pans into drums to clanging a cow bell or exploring a piano.
