Music and Apps for Children Do Not Have to Drive Parents CRAZY! Says Jon Stewart: "You will listen to Davids music, even when your kids are not around. And unlike some other childrens selections, it will not make you angry." Based on David Weinstones music, as seen and played for years on Nick Jr. TV, this Rockin’ Coloring Jukebox utilizes a whole new way to create colorful masterpieces inspired by some of the most inventive and original songs ever written for children! Hundreds of thousands of albums sold, countless families who have taken the Music for Aardvarks classes and attended shows all over the country and millions of YouTube views tell the story.
Like most Music for Aardvarks songs, our app takes the childs point of view. Say bye-bye to markers, crayons buckets and brushes, and hello to playful interactive coloring buddies that color like children do. Meet the fruit throwing monkey, the color pooping pigeon, the mud-splashing dog and others... There is no coloring App like it!

1) “Ride the Taxi” feature with the beloved Taxi song and the Aardvark driver

“Its no exaggeration to say that Weinstone has changed the musical geography of kids music. As creator of the MFA classes, his music has gotten thousands of tiny toes tapping.” -- Time Out NY Kids
“In the insular world of children s music ... Weinstone’s grass-roots popularity is unheard of.” --Time Magazine
“Music for children can be an endurance test for everybody involved but even adults say David Weinstone’s Music for Aardvarks and Other Mammals is one of the exceptions.” --New York Times
THE ART
The coloring pages for each song as well as the icons and character in the App were created by Stephen Kroninger.
