My Silver Balloon is a personalised music CD which contains your child's name sung throughout the lyrics.

Our original multi award-winning CD.  The perfect gift from birth to early school.

Hundreds of names to choose from. Click through for detail on all the tracks.

A second great album with many of the familiar characters from Album One.

Perfect if you want to get a different one for a sibling, have twins to buy for - or just want more fabulous personalised tunes.

Slightly faster-paced than Album 1 but still keeping true to the Silver Balloon principles of educational and fun.

It's a challenge deciding what to get as a gift for a young child.  Will the parents hate it? Is it age-appropriate? Will it last more than five minutes?

Buying one of our Silver Balloon CDs ticks lots of boxes: they're educational AND fun, they can be enjoyed by the whole family - and the child never forgets the music or who bought it for them.  

And we know that because we are now meeting young adults who were given a Silver Balloon CD when they were babies - and many of them tell us that their parents insist on dragging the album out every birthday just to embarrass them!

The female vocalist on both albums is a professional musician and a music teacher. Before we recorded the albums we consulted early years and primary school specialists to ensure that we hit the mark not just for the fun value, but also the educational content.

Don't forget to download the songbook with all the lyrics so you can sing along (perfect too as a learning tool for older children as it encourages their reading and word recognition).

Oli is one of more than a million children worldwide who have grown up listening to our original personalised music. A glance through our names list will see that alongside British favourites, our catalogue includes a wide range of Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Australian, New Zealand and North American favourites!

The Silver Balloon story began 17 years ago with the birth of Ethan and some of our earliest fans are now parents themselves. 60% of our albums are sold to returning customers.

Our ambition is to produce quality music that kids love -  and that doesn't drive their parents too mad! We've focussed on recording the widest possible range of names sung in real time in professional studios by world class musicians.

Over the years we have received many accolades in the parenting and music press.

Silver Balloon is also the proud recipient of regional and national business awards for exemplary on-time delivery and go-the-extra-mile customer service. 

And we have "celebrity" fans aplenty: the youngsters at Buckingham Palace, the Beckham babies (Brooklyn and Romeo) - and even Tony and Gordon's little ones at 10 Downing Street, all grew up listening to Doogie the Barndancing Dog and the cheeky vocals of Channel Four newsreader Jon Snow narrating the bedtime story on both albums.  Davina McCall has bought dozens over the years.

When we launched we were encouraged to offer the Silver Balloon album on cassette tape because that's what kids still had in their bedrooms!  But we bravely went ahead with the CD format.  Fourteen years on and of course music has gone digital and we're all streaming mad.

Despite that, our customers tell us they still like to give a physical gift. And mums and dads seem to be using the CD as an upload device to get the tracks onto their preferred streaming service - and then leave the CD in their car players to keep the kids amused on long journeys.

Nevertheless, the folk at Silver Balloon have not been resting on our bottoms. We realise that CD drives are being phased out and so  we are offering the digital files for streaming free of charge when you place an order for a CD. You will receive details of how to download the digital version in your order confirmation email.
