For the youngest set there are a few must have songs, some of our favorites:

Rolly Polly 
Great for 4-8 months... practices some nice words and movements.

 

Rolly Polly, in, in, in
Rolly Polly, out, out, out
Rolly Polly, up, up, up
Rolly Polly, down, down, down
Rolly Polly, peek, peek, peek
Rolly Polly, lay down to sleep
Wake up!!!

Zoom Zoom Zoom   
At the end you lift them up; get used to doing this one again and again.... Great practice for numbers...

Zoom Zoom Zoom
We're going to the Moon
Zoom Zoom Zoom
We're going to the Moon
If you want to take a trip
Climb aboard my rocketship
Zoom Zoom Zoom
We're going to the Moon...in
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1....   Blastoff!!!!

 

 

Dog from Dover 
This is an absolute must-have for changing diapers.  A great diversionary tactic.  Cross the legs or turn over/on the side at the end..

There once was a dog name Rover
Who came from a town named Dover
And there wasn't a fence....
That Rover could'nt jump OVER !!!!

You can also try...
He came to a fence/pond/barn, etc...
And oooops... he fell over !!!!    

 

 

Patty cake, Patty cake
 About 8-12 months they get interested in clapping hands and this one is a classic.

Patty cake, patty cake, baker's man
Bake me a Cake as fast as you can
Roll it and Prick it and Mark it with B
And put it in the oven for baby and me  !!!

 

 

Smooth Road
 This is great for 8 months and up... You lie on the bed with the infant on your legs and bounce them up and down.  Hours of fun.

A smooth road, a smooth road, smooth road, smooth road,
A bumpy road, a bumpy road, a bumpy road, bumpy road,
A rough road, a rough road, a rough road, a rough road, 
Pothole!!!!

Green Frog 
At about 5 months the baby gets very interested in their tongue. When you do "Glup Glup" you stick your tongue out; they love it... and the chorus makes everyone smile.

Glup Glup went the little green frog one day..
Glup Glup went the little green frog
Glup Glup went the little green frog one day..
Glup Glup went the little green frog
But... we all know frogs go...

La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da
La di da di da

But they also go glump glump
