"Music has a power that goes beyond words. The pleasure of sharing music builds connections between parent and child as sounds and rhythms surround the child in a world of sensations and feelings. Music also offers a joyful and rewarding learning experience and nurtures a child’s imagination and creativity. Learn about how music supports all areas of young children’s development."

I have a dog and his name is rags
He eats so much that his tummy sags
His ears flip flop and his tail wig wags
And when he walks, he walks zig, zag.
He goes flip , flop, wiggle, waggle, zig zag x 3

Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Five green and speckled frogs sat on a speckled log,
Eating the most delicious bugs. Yum yum!

Then there were four speckled frogs. Glub glub!

The Pirate Song
When I was 1, I had some fun on the day I went to sea. I jumped aboard a pirate ship (argh) and the captain said to me:
Go Go this way, that way, forward and backward and over the deep blue sea.
When I was 2 I lost my shoe…
When I was 3 I banged my knee…
When I was 4 I slammed the door…
When I was 5 I felt alive...

Way Down Yonder At the Grocery Store
Where oh where are the green cucumbers

10 Pea Pods in a pea pod press. One grew, two grew and so did all the rest. They grew and they grew and they did not stop until one day that pea pod popped!!
Mr. Moon, Mr. Moon you're out too soon, the sun is still in the sky. Go back to bed, cover up your head until the day goes by. It was a summer's evening I walked the forest through. Suddenly I heard it, a soft and sweet cuckoo!
cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo! cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo!
