Songs that make you think of children, growing up, and just having fun

[jendon1997]

I need some help. My sister is a teacher at a daycare. This year at their christmas program they are going to do a video of pictures that have been taken at the daycare throughout the year. We need some song ideas to play with the music. Songs that make you think of children, growing up, and just having fun. We already decided on True Colors by Cindy Lauper(thanks to Honey I Shrunk The Audience at Disney World, that always gets me). Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!!

Always like the Bear in the Big Blue House music, because they have some really jazzy songs (Bear cha cha for example).

The Wiggles - Don't know the title of the song but it's like "Everybody dance ...clap clap clap. Everybody sing ... la la la la la...."
