'It was basically our mission from the very beginning to 'sneak music education' into kids' lives, hands, brains, all of it,' Tohn admits. On the latest episode of The Motherly Podcast, Bell and Tohn talk to Motherly co-founder Liz Tenety about how they're 'sneak teaching' kids with their new show and why music is such an important focal point. The show, which follows best birds Do, Re and Mi as they navigate the world around them while also belting out catchy tunes, is just as educational as it is entertaining.
Kristen Bell and Jackie Tohn have been best friends since they met as young singers and actors more than 15 years ago, and now they're collaborating on a new Amazon Original animated kids series called Do, Re & Mi. Thank you for supporting the brands that support Motherly and mamas.
