The Ultimate Kids Birthday Playlist
Some good tunes will set your little person’s party apart.
Whether you’re throwing a picnic at the playground or an epic bounce house bender in your backyard, even the most host-savvy parents often forget the one key ingredient to throwing a successful and festive children’s birthday party…the music!
Kids have far less inhibitions than adults. A good tune with a steady beat can get little legs bopping and arms swaying in no time. And this of course, this gets the grown ups smiling and in a better mood, as opposed to staring at their smart phones and wondering how they drew the short straw again with birthday circuit duty.
So grab your device and get ready to download. Your child’s birthday party is going to be off the chains with this kid-friendly music. If it’s not, well then maybe you should have just promised them a trip to the toy store in lieu of a party. You might, in fact, be hopeless in the festivity department.
A bit of a disclaimer, a few songs are Colombian singers because…well…my family is Colombian and Carlos Vives and Juanes always knows how to party. But you should know them both too, so they’re on here.
Enjoy and HAPPY BIRTHDAY to your little one!
