Music Video Monday: Jack Johnson Upside Down

The Rundown
This sweet video pairs an animated Curious George with Jack Johnson, who sings the song from Curious George the Movie. Jack slips on a banana peel while walking down a beach, falls into the water and joins George for an adventure underwater and in the jungle. It's such a cute, mellow video that is sure to calm the most active of active little people.

Why We Love It
1. Curious George, 2. Jack Johnson 3. Underwater adventures (Aiden is a little fish who loves the water) and 4. Guitars (Aiden's favorite instrument)...need I say more?

Creative Extensions
1. Go on your own, imaginary underwater adventure: Ask your little person what they might see if they were underwater. Draw pictures of these and stick them up on the walls. Then get dressed in swim or scuba gear and go on an imaginary sea safari. You could also follow this up with a trip to the swimming pool.
2. Play Opposite Tag: Talk to your little person about opposites, like up and down, top and bottom, in and out and big and little. Then play a game of tag where "it" yells out a word and the person who is tagged yells out the opposite word or they become "it".

The Video


Happy under water adventuring,
Creatively yours,
Maya :)
