Activity
Sing about the weather, seasons, or what you see outside—babies love your voice, whether it's a silly made-up tune or an old favorite.
Looking for kid-friendly songs about the outdoors? Check out "Be Outside," by Jazzy Ash on Spotify, or this PBS Nature Cat playlist with many different songs about nature!
Materials
You can sing about nature without any materials. If you want, incorporate plush animals, puppets, or baby-friendly musical instruments like maracas, chimes, or rainmakers.
Skill Building
Listening to music and lyrics builds their language skills and emotional connection to you and nature, creating feelings of comfort and joy. Music is also a great way to connect to your own culture, or learn about other cultures.
