Wow! What an incredible collection!:
Looking for ideas for things to do with your baby or toddler? Look no further. This is an awesome collection of songs, fingerplays, bouncing games, nursery rhymes, and lullabies. It comes with a CD/cassette and book that contains the complete text as well as directions for how to do each game or fingerplay, with separate instructions for baby and toddler. Of course, all the traditionals are here- "Pat-A-Cake", "Ride a Little Pony", "This Little Piggy", "Head, Shoulders, Knees, Toes", etc.- but there are many, many more that I had never heard of before and that have quickly become favorites with my baby. There are songs and rhymes for bathtime, for bouncing, for teaching baby the parts of the body, clothing, animal names and sounds, etc. etc. This is a truly amazing resource for encouraging your baby's language development and motor skills, as well as parent-child bonding. There are enough games to occupy your baby all day long! Once it's bedtime, there are about 15 or so beautifully sung lullabies, all of which I have since learned by heart and sing to my baby all the time. Again, the lullabies include both traditionals like "Brahms Lullaby", "Rock a Bye Baby", "Hush Little Baby" as well as many I've never heard of before (e.g., "White Sheep", "Mother Goose's Lullaby", "Raisins and Almonds") I've purchased several other infant development books, but this is the only one that gets consistent use every day. Best of all, it's a true bargain for the amount of material you get.
The best I love it!:
The other reviewers have said it all and I can't agree with them more. I love this CD and its companion book. As a first time mom, the games I learned from this book are lifesavers... I wish I had bought it sooner!
The Best for Babies!:
My twins have LOVED this playful CD for a few months now (they are 10 months old now). It is one of the only CDs with kids singing that I can stand. The arrangements are appropriately short and simple, and contain some sound effects my babies enjoy. They especially enjoy the first 10 songs. I always put this CD on when they are playing, and they automatically smile and start playing happily. My boy twin always smiles when the peek-a-boo song comes on too. This CD will get my twins in a good mood every time.
Not just for babies:
My 2 year old is still enjoying the games and songs and she sings along now. I put the lullabies (2nd half) on when I put her down for her nap. It's nice to have the book to so I can learn the words and sing to her. The book also tells all the motions that go with the baby games. I highly recommend this CD and book set for every mom and her little ones!
A true delight!:
This audiocassette of songs and finger plays for little ones is absolutely precious. The voices of the young singers captivate my 18 month old twins, and are equally engaging for parents. The enclosed book with lyrics and hand motions to the songs is a terrific bonus. We have such fun acting out the songs together and encouraging our boys to imitate our hand gestures. I recommend it highly for interactive play with babies and toddlers. This would make a great shower gift!
