The Backyardigans!
Nick. Jr has always been helping kids get into music early, but not in the way you would first assume. Rather than having kids memorize specific songs from their favorite programs intentionally, certain shows target other senses. Remember Blues Clues? That helped kids with their memories and cognitive functions. The Backyardigans helps them with remembering melodies.
The songs in the show are all original pieces and free music is now available online for every kid out there to enjoy. Usually each episode has three or four songs and kids will pick up on them. There’s a catchy theme song when the show begins and whenever they’re ready to go on an adventure together, and they certainly love adventures!
The show is about five best friends who hang out in their backyards and use the power of their imagination to go on wild and crazy adventures. Pablo, Tyrone, Uniqua, Tasha, and Austin are really exploring the confines of a yard, but to everybody watching, they could be in space, under the sea, or even in the future. The great thing is that the songs in the show will all be about where they are and what they’re doing. They’re always new and exciting!
Their music adventures are definitely a great way for kids to get in tune with new melodies!
