Fun Learning Songs

Here are two fun learning songs that you can do with your toddler that teaches body part names. Thumbs maybe a little hard at first to get into position to wiggle but as they do this over time it will help build the muscles required to wiggle their thumbs. There are a lot of other body parts to wiggle that will make them giggle. This can be done sitting down or standing. When they are sitting use the hands to go around each other in a circle. If you are standing up they can twirl around.


My Thumbs are Starting to Wiggle

Sung to the Tune: The Bear Went Over the Mountain
My thumbs are starting to wiggle.
My thumbs are starting to wiggle.
My thumbs are starting to wiggle,
Around, around, around.
Second verse
My hands are starting to wiggle
Etc.
Continue with other body parts.


Another whole body song to learn body parts is Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes. To learn the tune go here:

Point to each body part as you say it. The faster you go the funnier it gets.

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes

Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose
Head, shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes
(Repeat, getting faster each time)
