The Kid Should See This.

Follow @thekidshouldsee on Twitter!

There's just so much science, nature, music, art, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there that my kids (and maybe your kids) haven't seen. It's most likely not stuff that was made for them...

But we don't underestimate kids around here.

Kid-friendly not-made-for-kids videos for all! Collected by Rion Nakaya and her three four year old co-curator.

Tip Jar: Curating this blog takes work! If you like the videos on this site, please support the science education projects that we've picked on DonorsChoose.org.

Basie Boogie! Count Basie and his Orchestra, from Rhythm and Blues Review (1955).

And if you like boogie, watch this Norman McLaren animation next.

Wes Montgomery, Four on Six, 1965. With Rick Laird on bass, Stan Tracey on piano, and Jackie Dougan on drums. Some nice fingerwork closeups in this… great for seeing how instruments are really played. Plus, check out that ceiling! 

John Coltrane, On Green Dolphin Street. Germany, 1960.

A nice mix of instrument solos, some old school visual sound waves on the sax, and just great music. We put this on while playing dominos.

Louis Armstrong and his band, When the Saints Go Marching In.
