Nursery Rhymes & Songs
From a very early age all babies love being sung to and thoroughly enjoy the same song or nursery rhyme being sung over and over again, better still if there are actions to go with the tunes. I've collected together all the traditional nursery rhymes - some with music - and the actions songs and finger plays (with instructions) so beloved by babies and toddlers
