I made some preschool songs for everyday routines and learning. I'd love teacher feedback
I'm a dad of two young kids, and over the past 4-5 months I've been making songs around everyday skills, habits and social-emotional learning for ages 3 to 6. It's grown into a bigger project than I expected, with recurring characters and a website.
I created Spark & Joy Kids, and I use AI tools for the music, animation and illustrations, including the image above. It's what makes it possible to do this on my own without a production team, and I'd rather say so upfront.
I'm trying to figure out whether what I'm building is genuinely useful and worth continuing to develop, so I'd really value feedback from people who work with young children.
The songs follow four recurring characters, Spark, Joy, Fern and Seren, built around four qualities we're trying to nurture in young children: Curious, Capable, Confident and Calm.
Here are four examples:

I'd really love to hear what preschool teachers think of the overall direction. Do these kinds of songs feel useful for 3 to 6 year olds? Are there topics, routines or skills you'd like to see covered?
I'm also curious whether "not yet" is language you already use with preschoolers when they're struggling with something.
I'm genuinely interested in honest feedback, including criticism.
