Super Simple Songs has been around for a very long time. Along with Dave and Ava, they are the channel that I turn to most for simple songs and nursery rhymes for my daughters. For the longest time, my oldest daughter always wanted to watch "Baby Shark." While there are many versions of the classic "Baby Shark" song available online, the Super Simple Songs version is the best one out there, in my opinion. My daughters seem to agree.
However, while my younger daughter still really enjoyed "Baby Shark," my older daughter was growing tired of it. Fortunately, Super Simple Songs came out with a "follow-up" to "Baby Shark" called the "Ten Little Fishies" song. It features the ever so popular Baby Shark and ten very elusive little fishies. Both of my daughters really got into this one.
"Ten Little Fishies" is a nice simple song that always calms my children down that also promotes counting, which is always good for young kids and preschoolers. The singer, whose name is Caitie, is always very pleasant to listen to. I've noticed the videos she sings on tend to be their favorites. They like the guy, Tobee, too, who sings "Baby Shark."
Super Simple Songs always puts out quality work. This is only the latest in a huge library of kid-friendly and sneakily educational music videos. Watch the "Ten Little Fishies" song on YouTube: I was in no way compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.

by Phoenix Desertsong, Parent of Three My daughters really love the Dave and Ava Nursery Rhymes animated series on YouTube. So, when they came out with a "Skidamarink" video in time for Valentine's Day, they were really excited. They were both already familiar with the song courtesy of Super Simple Songs. But, the Dave and Ava version, as usual, was much more exciting than previous versions they had seen. The Dave and Ava version of "Skidamarink" is a magical adventure through a wonderland full of hearts. Dave and Ava even ride a hot-air balloon shaped like a heart. There's plenty of action, jumping and laughing through a magical world of imagination. I like how Dave and Ava is adding more imaginary elements to their videos, as they did with "Hush Little Baby." The little kids really enjoy the colorful 3D animations and of course the music and singing is top-notch, as always. Watch "Skidamarink" and other beloved nursery rhymes rediscovered on YouTube by Dave and Ava: I was in no way compensated for this post. All opinions are my own.
You can never start your kids' learning too early! One of the classic ways to educate babies and toddlers is the use of nursery rhymes! Today, there's a nearly limitless amount of resources when it comes to nursery rhymes. But, the one series that my older daughter has been most interested since she was 6 months old is Dave and Ava on YouTube. We discovered them through the use of the YouTube Kids app on Android. Here's the link to their YouTube channel.
Dave and Ava's slogan is "Rediscover Nursery Rhymes!" Compared to many of the other related cartoon series on YouTube, Dave and Ava is on the higher-quality side. The animation is excellent and the singing and music is generally top-notch. They have very long videos, too. While they repeat the same ones over and over again, it means you don't have to change the video for awhile. This seems to be the case with most of the nursery rhyme videos. But, Dave and Ava's are the nursery rhymes on YouTube that would capture my daughter's attention the longest.

The animation is superb and the quality of the songs is pretty good. They also have educational videos that teach ABC's, counting, colors, phonics, and more. These videos can be great for pre-k homeschool. Besides the nursery rhymes, they cover a lot of good educational material. Some of the videos are especially amusing. After you hear them literally hundreds of times, they get old, but she and her younger sister still enjoy them.
If you have a child ages 0-6 and you're looking for a good video series on YouTube for your child to watch, I'd definitely recommend this series. Dave and Ava also have a mobile app for Apple and Android, which you can subscribe to monthly or yearly. The app also features some other activities, as well. For ad-free entertainment that can last your child months or years, it's a good deal for Apple or Android device users. Dave and Ava currently put out new videos regularly on YouTube. If you know any other really good YouTube video series for kids or other great nursery rhymes on YouTube, let us know in the comments! |
