I have used a lot of music by Joanie Bartels. A lot of different songs to choose from and its great music for them without feeling too "babyish" Hope this helps!

I like Joanie Bartels too, along with some Sugar Beats. These are the cds I use a lot:

- Drew's Famous Party Music - It has Tutti Fruitti, Peppermint Twist, Lollipop Lollipop, Lion Sleeps Tonight, Splish Splash, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang - lots of good stuff.

- Blue Suede Sneakers - Elvis songs sung by different artists

- Kidz Bop Beatles.

I'll have to check out Joanie Bartels. I've heard a couple of her songs but haven't used her music yet. I too like the Sugar Beats! I use a lot of music like that and then I have a lot of instrumental songs like "Baby Face", etc. that I love and they're such a great tempo. I'm just looking for some new ideas. Thanks!
