Screen-free Entertainmnent

Listening to 'The Playground' keeps us entertained on weekend nights as a wonderful alternative to watching. Radio listeners of many ages call in requests, so you may hear music beyond preschool tastes. In general, though, songs are okay for little kids and very entertaining. The 'Hampster Dance' may be an acquired taste, but we've come to love it!
