While we were in LA last week, we shot a video with Don Monopoli from The Learning Station, who is a very talented children’s entertainer. You’re probably thinking, how can a food based channel and a kids music channel doing a collab together? You put a Kindergarten teacher into the mix!
I first discovered The Learning Station a number of years ago while looking for fun songs to sing and dance to in my class. I had a couple of CD’s and subscribed to their channel when they started up on YouTube, so when I found out that Don was going to be in the same program we were in LA, I knew we had to do a collab. The kids in my class LOVE watching The Learning Station videos and LOVE dancing to the songs. They wave at Don every time the intro plays and let out a big “HI DON!” and wave to him excitedly. One of the girls really likes him as she thinks he’s “handsome”! If you have young kids, this is the BEST channel to subscribe to! Together with his wife Laurie, Don has created award winning songs, CD’s and travels all around doing live performances!
For our videos together, we decided to do a Rainbow Fruit Kebob on our channel and the Fruit and Veggie Hokey Pokey on Don’s channel. Since we were in LA, I wanted to use the fresh fruit that is available all year round there. It’s a nice healthy change from the regular treats on our channel, but I definitely won’t be sticking with it, sorry for those of you who are more health conscious!
