Baby Genius
November 19th, 2009
From the time that we are born music has a huge impact on our lives. It influences us and helps us develop in ways that we may or may not know. Baby Genius knows that music makes a difference and they have acted upon that knowledge with innovative, entertaining products featuring music as a core-learning tool. Engaging and encouraging children to communicate, connect, discover, and express themselves.
Baby Genius proudly presents its new developmental toy line. These musically inspired role-play toys feature all of your favorite Baby Genius characters and make perfect gifts for the little ones in your life. Some of my favorites are…
The All in One Musical Band featuring Frankie tambourine, two Tempo maracas, a Vinko flute and a drum with two colorful drumsticks. Your budding musician can play their favorite instrument and march along. Once playtime is over all the instruments store inside the drum for easy clean-up and storage.
The Singing School Bus will help your child get prepared and excited about school. It plays “Wheels on the Bus” and all the characters are removable for extended play. The bus has rolling wheels making it fun for your little one to push around while singing along.
I LOVE Tempo’s Musical Broom! It makes sweeping along with Mom or Dad fun. The easy to push button located on the handle activates 3 phrases, realistic sweeping sounds and Tempo’s great tune. And once the cleaning is done you can press Tempo’s nose to hear him giggle about a job well done.
Baby Genius has many other great toys, DVD’s, and CD’s for children ages 6 months to 2 years, making playtime educational and fun. Check out Baby Genius for perfect gifts for the little joys in your life this Holiday season.

Super Z & Super Fun Times
August 16th, 2009Super Z is a shortened version of Super Zeitgeist. What the heck is that you ask? Well, a band of course. Super Z was shortened specifically for their kids CD since their name posed a problem for kids to say. It actually means “the spirit of the times” in German. They take it as living in the moment, creating and performing.
Super Fun Times is a collection of songs that Super Z has been writing, playing and performing for the last couple of years. The lead singer has a 3 year old son and they found themselves writing all these kids songs and decided to put them together in a CD for your child’s enjoyment.
The songs are upbeat and fun for any preschooler. My favorite is “La-La-La Let’s Go”, but the kids really thought that “Plant In My Hair” was so funny.
You can preview and purchase their CD at www.cdbaby.com/superz
If you would like to follow them on Twitter they can be found at : http://twitter.com/superzeitgeist
You can also find their other songs at : www.myspace.com/zeitgeist
