Again, because we are very cautious about the music we allow our children to listen to I gave it a try first.
What we Received
We had the opportunity to review Smart Kidz Radio. It is a free online radio station, geared towards kids. As part of the review, we were able to listen to some of the on-demand programs.
What is Smart Kidz Radio
Smart Kidz Radio is an edutainment radio station for kids that offers songs and stories that teach kids life skills. The on-demand programs, which you have to purchase, offer stories like Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Noah's Ark, and many stories on life-skills and encouraging positive self-esteem. You can also listen to some stories for free in the podcast area.
My Thoughts
After listening in to a few songs I finally allowed the children to listen in. My children are ages 9 to 15 and they were not interested in the stories. So I would say this would be geared more toward the 7 and under age group and that still depends on your child. I am sure that my niece will really enjoy listening while she plays with her toys during our school time. Please be aware that there was a mention in one of the songs things about magic. Even though my children were not interested I still played the station during breakfast time so we could listen in. Each day we heard the same songs so I want to say that it may be played on a loop, but I am not sure 100%. I was only able to stream from my laptop. I did try to gain access from my iPhone but I was unable to. I am not tech savvy so I am almost positive this is an error on my end. So overall this wasn't a hit for my kids because of their age, but I know the younger crowd will really enjoy it, my niece is one of them.
