Whether you’re a singing superstar or have a voice best reserved for the shower, your little one will love hearing you croon. Singing is not just about entertainment; it can be a delightful bonding experience that calms your baby and sets the stage for future literacy. Here are some classic, contemporary, and playful songs to try out with your baby.
One of the beautiful aspects of parenthood is the opportunity to relive your childhood through music, and what better way to engage your baby than with silly songs that make you both laugh? Music helps babies learn to recognize sounds and syllables, which are essential for their future reading skills. So feel free to sing whatever you fancy—be it popular songs, show tunes, or beloved children’s classics.
For instance, “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” can easily become a whimsical tune about any animal you choose. Instead of cows and pigs, why not sing about elephants and flamingos? Your baby will be so entertained by your animal sounds that they won’t even realize they’re picking up new words along the way.
