Playsongs
Playsongs have published a collection of books for Mums, Dads and babies. The books which include titles such as "Sleepytime Playsongs" and "Livelytime Playsongs" are packed with nursery rhymes and little ditties to sing with your baby.
These books are a great way to introduce your baby to music making and start singing with your little one on a regular basis at home. "Sleepytime Playsongs" has some very cute songs for Mums and Dads to sing including "Daddy"s Lullaby" and "Dance with your Daddy, sing to your Mammy". The books have been devised for babies from birth up to the age of three and are full of tips on how to involve little babies and bigger babies in music making.
The books each have a CD included, so that you can learn the sings and sing along with your baby or toddler. They are also illustrated with pictures and songs based around your baby's day and the kind of things your little one will naturally be getting up to. Each book is well thought out with songs to sings on all occasions, from breakfast to bath time. Most of the songs also have a set of actions that you can act out with your baby; swinging them up when the tune ascends and moving them from side to side to mimic the song lyrics.
If you've missed out on local singing or music groups with your baby or toddler and would love to do something similar, these books are a perfect way to get you started.
