Is there any kid’s music that adults actually enjoy? Children’s music can be terribly annoying. Check out this list of children’s albums that any adult will love!
I recently bought one of my favourite CDs to give to a friend and her beautiful baby boy. The CD sparked some nostalgia in me, as I listened to it non-stop when my youngest daughter was a baby.
The CD was Two Flowers by Danielle Sansone. My friend loves the CD and has never heard Sansone’s music before.
As a former early childhood educator, I’ve heard my fair share of children’s music; honestly, I hated 90% of it. When working in early childhood classrooms, I hated when the noise pollution of obnoxious melodies and insipid lyrics tainted the atmosphere. Most of the time, I would make my own playlists of “regular music” to play for the children because I couldn’t stand the options available.
After gifting this CD to my friend, I began thinking of other children’s music I enjoyed. While this isn’t the most extensive list, it contains some of my favourite albums.
Children's music that WON'T drive the adults crazy! Check out this list from @deliberatemom Share on X
Two Flowers – Danielle Sansone
As I mentioned, I get nostalgic when listening to this CD. Also, almost any mom would get teary-eyed listening to So Many Ways… it’s such a hauntingly beautiful song.
B is for Bob – Bob marley and the Wailers
Bob Marley always has a great sound. My favourite song on this album is Three Little Birds. It’s such an upbeat song! I love it!

Catch the Moon – Lisa Loeb & Elizabeth Mitchell
Okay, I’ll admit it… I listened to “Stay” by Lisa Loeb on repeat from 1995 to 1999. However, this beautiful combination of Loeb and Mitchell is divine. Plus, the classic songs like Big Rock Candy Mountain and Fais Do Do, make this album a hit!
Sing-A-Longs & Lullabies from Curious George – Jack Johnson & Friends
This CD is loaded with Jack Johnson goodness. It’s mellow and groovy. Naturally, we love to groove to Upside Down, but I often find myself singing The Sharing Song to my girls.
The Merry Goes Round – Jewel
I love Jewel. She has such a beautiful and unique voice. This album has some new tunes as well as some familiar songs such as Oh Susanna and The Green Grass Grew All Around.
So there you have it… my all-time favourite children’s albums. I hope you enjoy them too! Oh, and if you have any favourite children’s albums, tell me all about them in the comment section below!

Wow, never realized Bob Marley sang kid’s music and totally going to have to check that out now. So, thank you for sharing and also now wishing you a wonderful week ahead now!! xoxo :)
Yes! The B is for Bob album is sooooo awesome! One of our absolutely favourites around here!
I mean, not for nothing, but almost all of those songs were released prior to the “B is for Bob” album, so is is it really accurate to refer to it as a children’s album? I guess it’s up to whomever is doing the listening. They’re beautiful versions of some of his most loved and most well-known songs, but he didn’t go into the studio with “children’s songs” or “new material” with the intention of making an original children’s album. Depending on when this released, he may have already been dead and his estate took care of releasing previously unheard versions of the songs on this album.
Actually, upon further review, the album was released 28 years after Marley died. Which means his “people” slapped together an album of 30+ year old recordings and called it a “children’s album. I don’t think it should technically be on this list.
I still think it’s a lovely children’s album… which is why I included it in this list.
Yep, I tried to play it for our grandson. It was beautiful, but he started crying because it wasn’t an intentional release by the original artist.
Toddlers are very big on that kind of thing. Had to go back to Raffi.
That’s a really great list. I actually LOVE that B is for Bob Marley one. He’s actually one of my favorite artist so I’m thinking that I might have to get that for Madison. We sing his songs in the house all the time!
Yes! B is for Bob is so good (I love Bob Marley too)!
I love most of these! Scarlet and I were listening to Bob Marley today, actually. She was impressed. And Elizabeth Mitchell is a crowd favorite for sure. Lisa Loeb and Jewel take me back to my own youth!
Isn’t Bob Marley the bestest?! LOL – yes, I think we enjoyed a lot of the same music growing up.
I didn’t know Jewel had that children’s cd. We have her lullaby cd which is awesome!
Great suggestions but one artist is missing! Caspar Babypants- it’s the lead singer from Presidents of the United States of America (90s misic). He has tons of albums, each one as good as the next (find on Apple Music). A couple Beatles covers albums and some lullaby albums. They are so good, so enjoyable for children and parents alike. Around Seattle he is by far the most popular children’s artist, his summer park concerts and little concerts at various venues are always packed.
YES! This is probably the number one artist that we (adults) also love. The lyrics are fantastic yet still totally accessible and fun for children. Can’t recommend him enough!!!
