If, like me, you’re a parent of a preschooler, you’re probably tired of all the inane cartoon shows and lacklustre websites for toddlers and preschoolers. Well, you’re not alone.
It is difficult to find healthy, wholesome and affordable entertainment for kids and one wants to be doubly sure that they’re safe for viewing, enriching and within our budget.
That is why I was thrilled to hear about Multicultural Kids Music Vids with Daria, a website with a difference. It offers music videos and more from across the globe, each one of them handpicked by award-winning children’s music artiste Daria Marmaluk-Hajioannou to ensure quality viewing for little eyes.
Best part, it is free! That is right. Free healthy, wholesome, music for your little ones.

Exploring World Cultures in a Fun and Interesting Way
The site is a treasure house of resources for introducing kids to world cultures. From songs in a variety of languages to craft ideas to a list of resources to help you raise multicultural kids with ease, the site has it all.
You can choose videos according to country, language, region or topic and you can be sure that they’re all fun to listen to and perfect for little ears.
Clean, Healthy Edutainment
One of the best parts about the site is that it is not just a library of videos. Each video is accompanied by a brief description of the music as well as the culture or story behind the video, giving you and the kids greater insight into different parts of the world.
The site is a great accompaniment to a Culture or Geography lesson and in fact, you can easily build upon the videos and take a tour around the world.
For instance, let’s say, you watch the videos from Russia , why not spend some time exploring Russian history, foods, places and more.
Next week, let’s move to Greece and so on! Talk about travel on a shoestring budget!
