Homemade musical shakers

I made these for H when she was about 6 months old and thought I would share it with everyone. The hospital suggested these bottles and I didn't care for them but they were $5 a bottle so I made them into shakers for my daughter (hot glue the tops closed). Now that she is two I see her using as play food in her kitchen more than music but she still dances with them too.

I can make my hands go clap

Here is a song that my daughter likes to sing. I thought others would enjoy

I can make my hands go
clap, clap, clap
clap, clap, clap
clap, clap, clap
I can make my hands go
clap, clap, clap
they're a part of me.

Repeat with
~fingers snap
~feet stomp
~nose beep

it is fun for little ones cause there is lots for them to move and interact with.

Teddy Bear Teddy Bear

I love finding new movement songs to do with my daughter. I feel upon this one in an old book I had and thought I would share. I had totally forgotten about it. Hailey held her teddy bear while singing it and she did the movements with the bear.

Teddy bear, teddy bear turn around
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the ground
Teddy bear, teddy bear reach up high
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch the sky
Teddy bear, teddy bear bend dow low
Teddy bear, teddy bear touch your toes
