We are celebrating the release of Dan's new book We Share This School by getting together to sing and rhyme and clap along with a new episode of Noodle Loaf! Our Clap It Back this week unusually unusual, even by our standards here at Noodle Loaf. Practice your rhythmic awareness while learning such important non-facts such as "Turnip is short for Turtle Nipple" and "Rutabaga is short for Ruth Bader's Bagel." This rhythm game also explores 4/4 and 3/4 time somehow. ✪ A special Tiny Song appearance by Kinetic Lawns with a live version of their song "No Birds to Describe You" from their album "1 Love Song." ✪ The echo song, We All Belong, was inspired by Dan's new book series about communities. This song celebrates our roles within our communities and helps develop a child's sense of pitch and rhythm. ✪ We finish the episode with a Finish The Pattern game all about breakfast. It goes by fast so try to keep up as we mix up breakfasts and switch up the fixins. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!  It's like a music lesson that happens once a year but stays with you for a lifetime. ✪✪✪ WE SHARE THE SCHOOL BOOK OUT NOW!: https://bookshop.org/a/9590/9780593658253 ✪✪✪ ✪✪✪ I have written three pictures books celebrating families.

THIS IS OUR 100TH EPISODE! If it is your first time listening I suggest starting with a different episode. If it is your 100th time listening then hooray for us! To celebrate this milestone, we turn the mic around to our listeners and listen to them singing their favorite songs from the show as well as songs that they have written. We got kids from all over, like The Bronx, Scotland and New Zealand, singing songs they wrote. Anywhere you go in this world kids are making up songs and singing them together because singing together is just about the most humanly fundamental thing two people can do. Sometimes folks who write songs get together to do a song share. This episode is something like that. You'll hear kids sharing their favorite songs from the show, many of them with slight changes either from misheard lyrics or modifications they felt were necessary. That is the folk process after all. You'll hear families harmonizing, part singing, vocal jamming and riffing back and forth the way families have been doing for centuries. And you'll hear some of the most creative and joyful original songs you've every heard, all written and performed by the single digit class. Pete Seeger said "Our Greatest songs are yet unsung." Well a few of them just got sung. I hope you enjoy them and feel inspired to record a few of your own to share with your friends. Thanks for coming to our celebration.

Dinosaur songs, truck stories and even an ode to napkins. Something for everyone! (Especially people that like music and games) This Clap It Back manages to squeeze in tributes to a few of the many celebrations happening this month like International Drum Month, Jewish American Heritage Month, National Bike Month and American Cheese Month. What a great way to gain a strong sense of rhythm! ✪ We're also celebrating the release of Echo Songs, Vol. 2, a new collection of echo songs from the podcast. Here is a fan favorite song, I Am a Lonely T Rex, about friendly but lonely T Rex. Why won't anyone play with him? Is it because he'll eat them? Probably. ✪ A Tiny Song twofer! One is by me about napkins. The other is by Noodlinos Sydney and Andi and it is about Fun in the Tub. ✪ We end with a You Make The Story game all about trucks, and a little about geese.

Come for the eyeball dance, stay for the tongue twister song. It's about a very well built boat built by billions of babies. Babies can't build boats you say? Can so, you just need one billion of them. This show is actually a music education multi-vitamin. True facts. You'll see. We begin with Dance Dance Noodleution, a movement isolation game that puts your limbs in direct competition with each other. The Great American Extremity Dance Off. ✪ This Echo Song is a real tongue twister. Very Well Built Boat will not only held develop your sense of pitch but it wall also help you tone your tongue hamstrings. ✪ A Rhyme Time of the finish-the-rap variety.

In today's episode we question our pants, celebrate the enormous gifts of James Baldwin and work together to make up a story about a creature who lives in a tree. Clearly a certain streaming service should have put their production dollars into Noodle Loaf instead of that other podcaster guy. We kick things off like we kick off our pants after a long day spent jogging in a rain storm, by questioning the need for pants in the first place. This Call and Response game was inspired by some listeners who sent in a song they made up to help get keep up morale during wiggly diaper changes. I flipped it and made it into a game. Just like their baby flips and tries to make diaper changes into a game. ✪ James Baldwin Used His Words to say so many things. He was enormously gifted at eloquently and poignantly critiquing the world around him. This Echo Song is a tribute to his talent. ✪ In our Mad Libs spinoff, You Make The Story, you get to fill in the blanks in real time to create whatever story your imagination wants to invent. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Music people! You have arrived just in time to make rhymes, sing songs and do some creative movement games all with your host in chief, Dan Saks. Today's episode raises a glass to celebrating Autism Awareness month way ahead of schedule. We'll also be toasting old school flows and the art of snowman building. If none of that makes sense it's because you haven't listened to the show yet. So do that pls. This Rhyme Time is a little different than our usual version. In this one, your job is to channel your inner Run DMC to anticipate and finish the rhyme at the each of our rapper's couplets. So don a Kangol and loosely lace your Adidas cause it's about to get tricky to rock a thyme that's right on time. ✪ Today's Echo Song was inspired by a family of long time Noodlinos who requested I write an echo song to celebrate neurodiversity, or as they put it, Different Brains. This neurodiversity awareness song for kids is an appreciation for the different kinds of brains we all have and will hopefully help neurotypical kids see themselves in the autistic children in their communities. ✪ Who doesn't love a Time To Move game that employs a lil musique concrète to create an imaginary snowman building creative movement game? Hopefully, not you because that's what this game is. Enjoy! ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Lots to sing and dance about today like salty soups, sticky sneaks and bananas. Flying bananas that is. So warm up your larynxes and press play on another episode of play based music education for humans. The kids wrote most of this Clap It Back rhythm game. That means the lyrics are especially odd but the rhythms are just as dynamite as ever. Rosin up your clapping hands and play along. ✪ The people have spoken and they have said that they want more Tiny Songs from Loafy Noodles. So he's back with his new hit Salty Soup Sally about Sally who always makes her soups super salty. Minestrone anyone? ✪ Today's Echo Song is dedicated to grown ups who want kids to do what they tell them to do. The song is called Do Not Ask Me Why, as in do not ask me why I write such ridiculous songs. ✪ It's a Dance & Freeze round of our Time to Move segment. Isolate one or more limbs, make em shimmy, and then freeze! That's the game. The game is fun. You like fun.

The best thing about chores is identifying the sound they make using your ears. It's downhill from there BUT with some groovy tunes on, any chore becomes a dance party. Amiright? Except duvet related chores, those are just a chore. We begin with an Echo Song about being the insatiable desire to take a thing apart to see how it works and then feelings that arise when you realize that putting it back together may not be in the cards. This happens in my life more often than I'd care to admit. Might as well sing a song about it that promotes pitch awareness in a Gypsy Punk style. ✪ Perk up your ears in this aural awareness game Name That Sound. I will play the audio of various household chores and you must identify them. You don't have to identify WITH them. It's not an empathy exercise, just a sound naming game. Enjoy! ✪ And lastly, I take those chore sounds and remix them into a funky groove with which you are encouraged to Jam Along. Your body and surroundings become drums in this body percussion and found object percussion activity. Make it funky! ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Things are really starting to happen round here. Things are getting cooking. Rubber is meeting road. Flubber is eating toad. Let's goooooo music fun and games for kids and grown growns!!! (now hiring people who know what to write in this space - no experience necessary - payment is in guitar picks) We begin with a Feel The Rhythm designed to make humans look silly while learning music fundamentals. We put the FUN, the DUH and the MENTAL in fundamentals. Is this thing on? Anyhow, I like this game a lot and hope you do too. ✪ A Tiny Song called Big Chunk Charlie, about a guy who is always eating up the granola chunks. I'll be waiting outside for my Grammy delivery if you need me. ✪ Today's Echo Song is I Want a Monkey to Hug Me. It is about interacting with animals in ways both pleasing and not. It is about consensual hugs. It is about developing pitch matching skills. Is is about time a monkey gave me a nice big hug. ✪ A throwback in more ways than one: We close with Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. Try to keep up...or else. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Kids will dig this play based rhyme infused educational music filled podcast as much as you enjoyed this keyword laden introductory sentence. This episode begins with a Rhyme Time game about kindness. Can you figure out what action each kindness verb could lead to? i.e. Make, Send, Offer? I love when phonological exercises extend into making the world a nicer place. ✪ This week's Echo Song is the 4th installment of our annual homage to the art of the homemade costume, "I Made a Costume pt.4." "A big cardboard box / wrapped around me / two tiny hats / I'm a battery." Happy Halloween! ✪ And we close the episode with a Guided Doodle where listeners are invited to participate in drawing a mystery drawing. You will need something with which to draw and something on which to draw upon. Like pencil and paper for example. Share your drawings by tagging @noodleloafshow wherever you like to tag stuff. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Go on, open up the packet. What's inside? 10 minutes of interactive music education games for children?? Fantastic! Here are the games on today's show: First up a Clap It Back game called "What's On The Menu" I say things that are on the menu. You clap back the rhythm of the words. It's fun, easy and helps develop a sense of rhythm. If the foods were actually available then it would be a very promising new restaurant concept. ✪ Before today's echo songs you'll hear a brief description of how some songs are written which will help demystify how an instant classic like Funky Little Porcupine comes to be. It's not rocket scientist. It's much fancier. ✪ We end with a Call and Response written by the eternal Ella Jenkins. The song is called Dulce Dulce and it is a fun music game that will help your child learn rhythm, melody and the Spanish word "Dulce." Ella Jenkins was not Hispanic but hopefully this Spanish word song will inspire some Hispanic Heritage Month singing and playing even as the official celebration month draws to an end. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can do on the way to your swimming lesson. I wrote a book!!!: ✪✪✪ FAMILIES GROW - an Amazon Best Book of the Month - by Dan Saks and Brooke Smart available from Penguin Random House ✪✪✪ https://bookshop.org/a/9590/9780593223673 WAYS TO SHOW NOODLE LOVE: ✪ Join our Patreon to get a show shout out and a handwritten letter! www.patreon.com/noodleloaf ✪ SUBSCRIBE and/or LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts ✪ Get some Noodle Loaf gear at noodleloaf.threadless.com. ✪ Want to add your voice to the Noodle Loaf choir?

This music appreciation game tests you knowledge of both Italian cheeses and orchestral instruments to make sure you never attempt to grate a piccolo over your pappardelle. ✪ This episode's echo song, called Before I Get Up, is a gentle wake up song that teaches morning mindfulness and may possibly help your child wake up happy and get ready faster. If nothing else it should help them develop a sense of pitch and rhythm. ✪ We end with a Time To Move game that involves magic gloves and finger dancing. I learned a version of this game from Dr. John Feierabend, an early music education wizard. It is a great game for teaching awareness of flow and tempo. It is also big time fun. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can do on the way to your music lesson for kids.

You won't learn to spell in today's episode, but you may learn to mispronounce the word "barber." You will also learn how to plan for special occasions. In other words you will learn MOST of the most important things. And if you enjoy singing songs then that's even better. Birthdays, graduations, growing your first eyebrow...what do these things all have in common? They are all very special occasions. This echo song is an all purpose special occasion celebration song. It helps children develop their sense of pitch, rhythm and hosting. ✪ Today's Rhyme Time is a collaboration with Tibbs and MG from the very silly show Paper Bag Party. They need your help making rhymes! If you don't listen to this episode then they will be wandering forever in a land of unfinished quatrains. HELP THEM PLEASE!!! ✪ Does your child sit in the car or their room or a shopping cart making up songs for hours about whatevs? If you said yes then this is the music game for them.

I am introducing a new episode titling concept that is akin to how certain race horses are named. See, this episode contains pieces of previous episodes as well as new material. Thus, the episode title pays homage to that lineage to form the poetic phrase: "Hello Donkey Potato." Race horse names are often nods to their parents i.e. a horse named Waffle Toes may have been sired by Brekky Pie and Foot Fingers. I expect this innovation to spread rapidly throughout the world of podcasting. It is my gift to the industry...my legacy. But enough about the title, what fun music and games for kids lies within these 1s and 0s? We begin with a Time To Move movement game called Bubble Bubble Pop. Kids will use their hands, fingers and claps to perform a dance that develops small motor skills AND big movement thrills. ✪ Nextly, we share a Noodle Loaf version of the Echo Song mega-hit, Down By The Bay. This was recorded when Joni was a good bit shorter than she currently is. Not to worry, I have adjusted the mic to accommodate her latest height. We've added our own punchlines to this song. How did we do? ✪ Who doesn't love a listening skill building game like Name That Sound? I don't want to give away any answers but let's just say you're going to need an extra pair of socks to play this one. ✪ A Tiny Song that is about a Donkey Farm and about how everyone is going there tonight. Not too much to add to that. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can play at 1.25x speed.

Sorry kids, the song about the history of Kraftwerk didn't make the final edit but don't fret, there is a clapping game about robots. There is also a Western folk song and opportunities to make use of your ears and hands so make sure to have those nearby before hitting play. We begin with a song game called Clap It Back about robots. But is it a song about robots? Or an homage to Phil Collins? Can it be both? This is a great way to develop Rhythmic Awareness and 80s pop icon awareness. ✪ Kids love classic Western cinema so here is an old Western folk song that also happens to be an Echo Song. So hop up in the saddle and join us on the trail. ✪ The word "Aural" is confusing when heard aurally. That is ironic. There is nothing we can do about that but what we can do is develop Aural Awareness via a game called Name That Sound. We'll play a sound, you try to name it. ✪ If you like Rhythmic Improvisation and Body Percussion then you will love Jam Along. Stomp, clap, pat and snap your funkiest groove along to our funkiest groove. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can pack in your picnic basket.

It's getting hot in here, so plant some carrot seeds. I am getting so hot, I'm gonna plant some carrot seeeeds. There's a song about planting carrot seeds in this episode and those are not the lyrics. We don't do parodies. We do music for kids and that grown ups dig too. We do music empowerment through play. We jam out, you jam along. The Echo Song in today's show, A Carrot Seed was inspired by my cousins' farm Soul Fire Farm in Upstate NY. Their farm sows veg and justice in equal measure and is definitely worth getting to know. To Do List: Sing along with this fun song for kids, Plant a carrot, Check out Soul Fire Farm. ✪ This Finish The Pattern game explores the music concept of timbre. Timbre is just a fancy way of saying the way a sound sounds. A guitar and a piano playing middle C play the same notes but have very different timbres. I think trying to find words to describe timbres makes for a fun vocab game that also nurtures a sense of music appreciation so stay tuned for the bonus round where we do just that! ✪ And since we're big fans of recycling, we recycle those patterns to play a game called Jam Along. If you're having fun and feeling empowered to be part of the band then you are doing it right! ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for kids you can do at the beach, at the pool or at the lakeside glampsite.

Warm up your vocals with a round of singing slide. Sing a party plan with our echo song. Name some sounds. And then take some time for yourself, because you deserve it. Singing Slide is based on a vocal warm up game that music teachers like to play with their students. Kids mimic a slide whistle which gets them singing in their head voices and exploring their vocal range. It gives me the opportunity to record myself playing slide whistle which always comes as a surprise to my neighbors. ✪ Party Time! This echo song about planning a party has an animal themed twist. Speaking of which animal themed twist would make for a great kids party theme. Giraffe Limbo etc. Echo songs are a great way for kids to learn melodies, build their melodic vocabularies and tune their sense of pitch. Huzzah! ✪ Mystery sounds abound in this round of Name That Sound. Our very own Noodle Loaf game show announcer will guide you through the process of identifying some old-timey sounds. Unclog your ears for some close listening and a little bit of learning about technology from days gone by. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

If you like smoothies then you'll love this new episode of Noodle Loaf. It's got mangoes (rhythm games), bananas (singing) and freshly squeezed orange juice (mad-lib style story games). Press play and take a gulp! Our Clap It Back game gives you and your family a chance to learn rhythmic phrases. Syllables, cadence, rhythm, tempo, beat...so many skills to glean from this game. It also incorporates a technique used in music classrooms and pedagogies like the Suzuki method. Things get tricky as the game goes on, so hold on to your smoothies! ✪ This Echo Song doesn't have a lot of words. Some songs don't need a lot of words to do what they need to do. Other songs (like Hurricane by Bob Dylan) need a ton of words. This is not that. The name of this song is "Sister Oh Sister" and it is meant to evoke feelings about the people in your life, after all. ✪ We recently found a half filled book of Mad-Libs on a neighbors' stoop. We had a lot of fun with it and it was exciting to see how different another families brand of hijinks felt in comparison to our own. This game is similar. It is called You Make The Story and your job is to add your own words to help tell the story. In this case you are opening up a pizzeria. Good luck with your new pizzeria endeavor! ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Songs about robots, subways and feeling grateful for scientists! This episode has the very special guest, Tracy Bonham & Melodeon Music House, plus lots of learning about music through play. ✪ First Up, Time To Move - Dance Robot Dance. Pretend you are a robot that has two settings. Setting 1: when you hear music you do your best robot dance. Setting 2: When the music stops you shape your body like the thing that I say. i.e. grapes. This is a fun creative movement game that promotes body awareness, smiles and dancing to a song about robots. ✪ Counting the silence. Kids love counting. Grown-ups love silence. This game has something for everyone! ✪ All you have to do during a Story Song is sit back and enjoy the song. This song is about feeling grateful for all the people big and small who have helped their communities get through this past year, and especially everyone involved in the vaccine roll-out from the scientists to the people who rolled up their sleeves to stop Covid's spread. You can hear this song wherever music streamed including Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/2FIyQU8vHnG2dPXPpOx5e7?si=N26FtAfoTgCBFtgRDkJJGQ ✪ This episode's Echo Song is provided by the wonderful musician and music educator Tracy Bonham & Melodeon Music House.

Music and learning, singing and goofing. Enter here for children's songs about dinosaurs and dumplings. But fair warning, you may be asked to rhyme something with "Cilantro." If you're comfortable with that possibility then press play on this educational podcast for kids and enjoy. We begin with a rhyming game. Freshen up phonological awareness, fine tune your flow and polish your poetry with this edition of Rhyme Time. Our categories this go round are fancy colors, types of dumplings, herbs, handicrafts and kinds of trucks. Watch out for the extra hard herbal bonus round! ✪ This week's echo song is about a lonesome dinosaur. Why won't anyone play with the T. Rex? Is it because he'll eat them? This Echo Song explores themes of h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ dinosaur nature while developing a child's sense of pitch and humor. It's music for kids that dinosaurs will love too. ✪ We haven't had a Vocal Jam in a while which means it's time for a vocal jam. Think of it as an instant a cappella group but better because the group is your family and instead of pop songs you're just saying names of dumplings. This is a great intro to harmony and part singing for kids and is also great as a family singalong. Learn the parts and perform it next time you're at a dumplings shop! Great idea! ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Press play and brace yourself for some music games, a song about fruits and April Fools jokes aplenty. We'll play a drawing game called Guided Doodling where you will doodle a mystery drawing based on the narrated instructions. Will it be an octopus? Probably not, but maybe? A little more details on the various music activities beloooooow: Finish The Pattern - Our pattern recognition game teams up with solfege for some real live music game fun. Fair warning, there are animal sounds and some amateur beatboxing. ✪ Echo Song - Mango Season - Our repeat after me style sing along song is all about some of our favorite fruits! Mangoes, watermelons and strawberries. A fun fact about this upbeat children's song is that you can insert whatever your favorite fruits or veggies are. If you love kohlrabi then you would just sing "Wake Me Up When Its Kohlrabi Season." This is a no judgement zone. You do you. ✪ Guided Doodle - Get yourself a pencil and paper, we are going to draw together. Noodle Loaf provides the classical music of Vivaldi and some instructions on how to draw a mystery drawing. You do your best to draw what we describe. There's a good chance you will draw something other than what we are imagining, but that's ok.

Fun. Fun Music. Fun Music For Kids. Fun Music For Kids And Their Grown Growns. Fun Music For Kids And Their Grown Growns That Involves Saying The Names of Birds Wrong. i.e. Curdnal. Pretty Birdies - Echo Song - A repeat after me song about different birds! But we're not just singing bird names over here, we are singing them incorrectly because that's something we like to do. I don't know if your kids will learn about birds by singing along but there's a chance they'll develop their senses of pitch and rhythm. ✪ Learn About Tablas with Sufyan - Noodlino Sufyan is a 7 year old from Brooklyn, NY who has been studying how to play the tabla. He tells us a little about the instrument and demonstrates a couple bols (rhythmic sequences) that he has learned. He is cool. Tablas are cool. You are cool. ✪ Clap It Back - In this rhythm game about drums of the world, we clap back the rhythms of phrases describing various world drums over Sufyan's tablatastic grooves. It's a bit of music appreciation mixed with some drumming fundamentals. ✪ KaraYOUke - If your child has been waiting patiently for someone to ask them to write a song about donkey teeth, then they need wait no more! This game asks you and your children to write your owns based on prompts you hear. We provide the music and the prompts, your family writes the songs. It's a songwriting lesson and a mad-lib but more fun than either one by itself. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids!

Time To Move - We begin the show with a movement game for children that promotes steady beat awareness and the dance concept of weight.

You don't get to clean up if you don't make a mess.  So go make a mess and then sing along with our clean up song for kids.  That's an order! PLUS we'll use our ears to name mystery sounds and use our mouths to make rhymes.  It's a full face work out for families you don't want to miss. Name That Sound - First up, a listening activity for kids about writing. Listening about writing...is that like dancing about architecture? I dunno, but I do know that it is a great way to develop aural awareness in kids. ✪ Echo Song - Cleaning So Clean - Our repeat after me song about clean up time will you have you and your kids whistling all the way to the dust bank. That doesn't make sense. Anyhow, it will make cleaning more fun. And it will also develop a sense of pitch in children, and whimsy too. ✪ Rhyme Time - A rhyming game for kids set to a funky beat! Not only will children develop their phonological awareness without having to learn the word phonological, but they may also learn to rap. This rhyme game is a favorite of parents probably because they get to show off all the big words they know. ✪ We hope you enjoy our music and games for preschoolers, kindergarteners and early elementary age kids! It's like a music lesson for your commute to school. ✪✪✪ FAMILIES BELONG - the new board book from Dan Saks available from Penguin Random House ✪✪✪ https://bit.ly/familiesbelongbook WAYS TO SHOW NOODLE LOVE: ✪ Join our Patreon for a show shout out and a handwritten letter! www.patreon.com/noodleloaf  ✪ SUBSCRIBE and/or LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts ✪ Get some Noodle Loaf gear at noodleloaf.threadless.com.   ✪ Want to add your voice to the Noodle Loaf choir?

A bit of a theme going on in this one. Who improvises? Who does not? What does improvise mean? What does amprovise mean? As far as I know, it does not mean anything. Nonetheless this episode is fun and educational and fun and introduces the concept of improvisation to children. This Clap It Back rhythm game is two lessons in one and a whole lot of fun. Children will gain rhythmic awareness and learn the sections of the orchestra, namely woodwinds, percussion, brass and strings. Plus we rhyme "piccolos" with "cover holes." ✪ This episode's Echo Song called Improvise has special guest appearances by podcasters Alex Goldman of Reply All, Mick Sullivan of the Past and the Curious, Pamela Rogers of Buttons and Figs and Nosaj from the rap group New Kingdom. The song teaches the definition of "Improvising" in the musical sense and in the sense of going with the flow when life throws you curveballs. It's a song about resilience and having a good attitude for kids and the grown ups who love them even when they spill all of the snacks all of the time. ✪ Story Song - My Mother is a Baby - This is a song tale about a mother who is a baby, not a metaphorical baby, but an actual baby. It's a silly song for kids that's a little bit Elvis, a little bit Shel Silverstein and a whole lotta fun. ✪ You get to play this mad libs for kids in real time. I like to play this on long car rides where each person in the car takes turning filling in the blank. This You Make The Story is about cooking poorly. ✪ ✪✪✪ FAMILIES BELONG - the new board book from Dan Saks available from Penguin Random House ✪✪✪ https://bit.ly/familiesbelongbook WAYS TO SHOW NOODLE LOVE: ✪ Join our Patreon for a shout out on the show and a handwritten letter in the mail! www.patreon.com/noodleloaf ✪ Donate: paypal.me/dansaks ✪ SUBSCRIBE and/or LEAVE A REVIEW on Apple Podcasts ✪ Get some Noodle Loaf gear at noodleloaf.threadless.com. ✪ Want to add your voice to the Noodle Loaf choir?
