As a mom to a two year old, I know it can be tough finding shows that interest our young ones and keep them engaged. When my little guy watches television I not only want it to entertain him but I also like for it to encourage learning and It’s Hip Hop Baby “Things We Do Everyday” on DVD does just that. The “Things We Do Everyday” DVD is intended for ages 2-6 and teaches children through fun hip hop music that’s child-friendly. It’s Hip Hop Baby was founded by Candi Carter, a mom who wanted to help her son learn faster. She discovered that children respond and learn quicker when music and movement are used in the learning process so she created It’s Hip Hop Baby to educate young children with the help of hip hop music. Candi has an amazing background in her television career including working at CNN in Atlanta, GA and later producing news specials and children’s programming at WISN TV (the ABC Affiliate in Milwaukee, WI). While there she won an Emmy for Outstanding Children’s Programming. The “Things We Do Everyday” DVD encourages reading, teaches children to follow simple directions, encourages dance and movement, helps children master concepts such as repetition and rhyming, and also teaches children hip hop dance. My little guy watches the WHOLE show every time I turn it on and even tries to copy some of their simple and fun hip hop moves. We’ve also really enjoyed listening to the Hip Hop Baby “Fruit!” CD in the car on the way to my daughter’s school or to the grocery store. The CD is loaded with 29 educational songs that are catchy and simple making it easy for young children to remember the lyrics.
