The Silly Pizza Song by Signing Times – We taught my son some sign language as he was learning to speak, and he LOVED the signing time videos.  This is a favorite.  Signing the entire song was too difficult, but we always had fun signing each silly pizza topping.

Oh Hey Oh Hi Hello by Jim Gill – Jim Gill is one of my favorite children’s musicians….and this song is a shout-out to my home state. So, you can’t go wrong with that.  Don’t worry, you don’t have to be a Buckeye to sing it.
