Children's Songs for Toddlers
Nursery Age 1 Curriculum Suggestions
by Katrina Lybbert


Children's Songs Overview

Toddlers love music and grow from musical experiences.  With the wealth of children's songs available there are plenty of songs to teach our toddlers.  You can choose a new song to learn each week.  Play and sing the song daily for at least a week.  By repetition your toddler will learn to recognize the song and may even begin to sing along.  Keep a list of your child's favourites and review them often during the year.

For each of the 24 lessons I have suggested a song to teach, songs that I and my children enjoy.  As there are so many different songs please feel free to choose different choices from mine.  To help you get started in finding other songs please look over the resource list below.
