We're starting the week gently today with three classic and very simple nursery rhymes videos for you to sing with your child. It's easy to forget sometimes why we sing nursery rhymes so often to our babies, but they are important building blocks for early literacy*. Singing with your baby and toddler is also an essential, and very nurturing, way to help them develop key developmental skills. Even very small babies will learn to listen, start recognizing different word and letter sounds and the rhyming elements of the songs, alongside the actions, combine as a great way to help your children recognise sound patterns and begin to develop their fine motor skills.

So, settle back to connect with your little one and indulge in some calming, gentle together time with Luke and Sara.

*All the words are included too ( just in case you need a reminder ).

Gently down the stream

Gently down the stream,

And if you see a crocodile,

Don't forget to scream...

Out came the sunshine and dried up all the rain

Like a diamond in the sky

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are
