5 Spring Songs for Kids (and fresh lesson plan ideas for preschool and kindergarten music time)
Spring has sprung... or at least, it's in the process 🌷🌻 We are sharing 5 of our favorite songs about spring for preschool and kindergarten music time.
Spring Songs for Kids
By using seasonal songs, you're reinforcing the current season, orienting the child to the time of year (and the concept of a calendar), introducing the life cycle, and reinforcing the fact that they adapt to seasons (ie: clothes, activities), whether or not they realize it.
Kid-Friendly Valentine's Day Songs
They say Hallmark invented Valentine's Day. I have no idea if that's true. But consumerism aside, any excuse to be warm and fuzzy (literally and figuratively) in the middle of the winter is a W-I-N. I'll take it!
Fun Christmas Music for Kids
Ahhh... holiday music. I'm a sucker for the classics. A remake rarely beats out the original recording. (Snoop Dogg Blue Christmas, anyone? Oy vey.)
Music for Kiddos Holiday Gift Guide 2017
High-quality (in-tune!!) music gifts that are engaging and support development can be surprisingly hard to find. Stores are full of instruments that are adorable, but when you get them home, you find that most of them are not functional.
10 Halloween Songs for Kids
I'm a little late getting this post up. Why? HALLOWEEN IS NOT MY FAVORITE.
Kind of strange, considering that I went ALL OUT on costumes as a kid. They were completely crazy and off the wall and nobody ever stopped me.
Summer Music for Kids (and 2 activities to try!)
When the sun is out and the days are long... there's nothing better than relaxing with some new music and staying up until the sun goes down.
OR...
The kids are bored, the house is a little more chaotic than you'd like and it would be JUST GREAT if the sun could just go down a fewwww hours earlier so the little ones go to bed and you can have some peace and quiet tonight.
That, too.
