You can even look at specific genre types or browse stations that have been created by other people. Pandora helps parents have a little bit more control over what their kids listen to, while also providing some variety.

The online site, Slacker Radio has a variety of stations to choose from. Depending on the age of your child, you can find the perfect radio for them! Search for kids, tweens, and beyond! Check out one of our favorite radios, the Radio Disney Junior Station.
Spotify (Online/App)
You can download Spotify on your desktop, or get the app on your phone. Spotify allows you to create your own playlists – allowing complete control over what your children listen to. If you are looking for variety, you can begin a station that operates similarly to Pandora. You can even search for other people’s (friends you know, or strangers) playlists to find new music for your kids. It does play commercials, but you can upgrade to premium to listen without them.
Hopefully this has helped you discover some new outlets of music that you can listen to with your child. For some ideas on when and where to listen to music, check out this blog post.
