The Metropolitan Museum of Art has a book and CD called,
“Can you hear it?” Using 13 famous paintings and accompanied music from both American and European orchestras, children are introduced to fine art and music.

We recently added this to our curriculum. We are using it along with How to use child-size masterpieces for art appreciation and it is considered a “group” class in our homeschool—meaning I teach this program with the 3 oldest children together.
A few of our favorites are:
Ocean Life, by Christian Schussele
Prince riding an elephant by Khem Karan
The carnival of the animals: The Aquarium by Camille Saint-Saens
The nutcracker: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Pyotr Illich Tchaikovsky
Great resources, I’ve added them to my wish list. Just started reading your blog. It’s fabulous and full of great ideas-thank you.
We have twin boys(6) too! And it’s funny, on my blog I call my husband G-man 🙂
