App Review: Music for Aardvarks Coloring Jukebox

I am a huge fan of apps for kids! I love when they are fun and don’t drive me crazy. I don’t keep many apps on the kids tablets for those very reasons but since we are going to be traveling soon I thought it would be a great idea to have a few fun ones. I am so thrilled that Music for Aardvarks Coloring Jukebox was brought to my attention! This is a FREE app available on iTunes and Google Play. It will be available on Android at a later date.

 

Music and Apps for Children Do Not Have to Drive Parents CRAZY! Says Jon Stewart: “You will listen to David’s music, even when your kids are not around. And unlike some other children’s selections, it will not make you angry.” Based on David Weinstone’s music, as seen and played for years on Nick Jr. TV, this Rockin’ Coloring Jukebox utilizes a whole new way to create colorful masterpieces inspired by some of the most inventive and original songs ever written for children! Hundreds of thousands of albums sold, countless families who have taken the Music for Aardvarks classes and attended shows all over the country and millions of YouTube views tell the story.

There is so much to love about this app! I no longer have to worry about crayons, markers, or anything else that makes a mess when the twins color and boy do they like to color. I love that this app will allow them to that in the car. That is so important to me. Some of the characters include the fruit throwing monkey, the color pooping pigeon, the mud-splashing dog and others.

On top of those amazing characters this free app includes (1) “Ride the Taxi” feature with the beloved Taxi song and the Aardvark driver,  (2) Six free original songs with coloring pages – one from each album, and (3) Make playful messy art with six silly animated coloring buddies. Not to mention that six of the twelve full albums of the Aardvarks series are available as in-app purchases for only $2.99 each! All you have to do is choose songs to play and color. “REPEAT 1” or “PLAY ALL” or use the “JUST PLAY ALBUM” feature for when you want to just listen. Any album purchase unlocks the full version of the beloved Taxi song for unlimited listening. This is not only handy for when the kids are coloring in the car but int he house as well. I just plug in their headphones so they can each do their own thing. WONDERFUL!!!

THE MUSIC

Music for Aardvarks has blossomed over the years from humble beginnings and currently, it is 16 original albums, with over 250 songs and counting. With music videos that were airing daily on Nick Jr. TV,  live performances by the Music for Aardvarks Band, and group music classes for babies, toddlers and preschooler Music for Aardvarks is simply amazing! Add in the fact that this can just be used as music for the when we are in the car and I am one happy Momma!

THE ART

The coloring pages for each song as well as the icons and character in the App were created by Stephen Kroninger whose photo collages have graced the cover of Time Magazine, been the subject of a one-person show at the Museum of Modern Art, and have been credited with sowing the seeds of the collage renaissance.
