- Children’s Rhymes, Songs, and Games

Parent coach Karen Deerwester writes:
Your child wants to be singing and dancing his way through every day with the people who love him full-time, all-the-time. And so, this is your reminder to pick a few of your favorite rhymes, songs, and games and add them to your baby-play repertoire on a regular basis…
She lists the Garden Snail Palm Rhyme, the Shoe a Little Horse Foot Rhyme, and the Magic Hat game as example.
Besides the Eensy Weensy Spider, what songs do you sing with your kids?
See her post Family Time: Pocketful of Tricks for the lyrics.
These are great tips

My two-year old son loves it when I sing “The Wheels on the Bus” and personalize it with his name or the names of people he knows. Sometimes I ask him, “Who’s on the bus?” and he’ll tell me a kangaroo or a penguin so I’ll make up motions for what each of these do on the bus. He loves any song in which he can switch out the names for his own or names of friends and family members. We do this with “Pop Goes the Weasel” as well.
