SJ. Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 At that age we listened to all of the Jim Weiss audiobooks that were available at my local library. They were a big hit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holly Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Vox Music Masters CDs--These have excerpts of the composer's most famous compositions alongside a narrated story of his life. Folk songs--Amazon Prime has family friendly playlists for different genres of music. We did a few of these on our last vacation. They loved the classic rock one! I usually pick up audio books on CD from our local library. We also have SOTW & other Jim Weiss CDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My current 6 yr old loved Wrinkle in Time. ETA: School House Rocks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
