September 22, 2022 By Sara Mullett 7 Comments

Let's Play Music : The Farmer's In the Den - Preschool Farm Songs! Great songs to sing for Spring!

The Farmer’s In His Den is the perfect choice for playgroups and parties.  It has an easy repetitive tune and it’s sung as a simple circle game, that gets everyone involved. Kids really love it’s catchy “EE-I-AD-I-O” refrain, and so they’ll often pick it up well before they can sing the rest of the words. […]

Stories with Classical Music and Movement

Movement icon for activities with movement

Children love stories and reading books together is one of the best things you can do for development. Stories alone can be launch pads for improvisation and exploration of sounds and rhythms. So combining stories with Classical music and movement take all of these benefits to another level. Listening to music alongside stories helps to set the […]

Miss Polly Had A Dolly is a great little action song because it encourages imaginative role play, and really gets children engaged with the story.

October 1, 2021 By Sara Mullett 2 Comments

Halloween has always been tremendous fun, all tied up with celebrating the Harvest, the Autumn and embracing the Seasons. We know this holiday is huge in the US of course, but in recent years there seems to have been a move to discourage the tradition of Halloween in the UK. This seems a great shame, […]
