To be sure, this may not apply to kiddies but, in truth, I never believed in dumbing down entertainment. Kids should be exposed to real music and not this Kids Bop twaddle.
There are (or were before COVID19...) countless live music venues with unsigned acts who'd belt it out for you if you'd drop a paltry $10 cover charge and suck down two or more sodas. Most of this is rock music but there are lots of jazz places and I bet there are even more folk etc venues if people just got off their azzez and LOOKED.
My Dad took me to live lounge lizard gigs in the 1970s. I also remember seeing a band covering Spinning Wheel by BST. These opportunities are STILL to be had. But it depends upon the parents doing their job.
I challenge everyone to go out once or twice a week to see live, unsigned talent. If you have kids, BRING THEM. In the interim, go to these venues' websites and buy a shirt or gift certificate.,,,go to a musician's FB page and watch their live stream and buy their music. Otherwise, we will collapse into auto tuned robots listening to German techno music.
