A song to enjoy with your baby – 'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'

Your baby is beginning to recognise the names of some body parts.  

'Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes' is a great song to enjoy with your baby. You could gently touch their head, shoulder, knees and toes as you sing with them.

The benefits of singing with your baby 

Your baby will love hearing the sound of your voice when you sing – even if you don’t! 

They may start to join in by making similar sounds to your tune. 

Actions songs like ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ are also great for helping babies learn names of items, body parts and objects; and when they join in with actions, they will be developing gross and fine motor skills.
