A Green Mouse
Lyrics :
A green mouse
Running through the grass
I catch it by the tail
I show it to those men
Those men tell me:
"Dip it in oil
Dip it in water
It will turn into a snail…
A hot one!"
A green mouse
Running through the grass
I put it in a drawer
It tells me: "It's too dark!"
Those men tell me:
"Dip it in oil
Dip it in water
It will turn into a snail…
A hot one!"
A green mouse
Running through the grass
I put it in my hat
It tells me: "It's too hot!"
Those men tell me:
"Dip it in oil
Dip it in water
It will turn into a snail…
A hot one!"
A green mouse
Running through the grass
I put it in my pants
And it leaves three little droppings!
Those men tell me:
"Dip it in oil
Dip it in water
It will turn into a snail...
A hot one!"
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star
Lyrics :
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone,
When he nothing shines upon,
Then you show your little light,
Twinkle, twinkle, all the night.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark,
Thank you for your tiny spark,
He couldn't see which way to go,
If you didn't twinkle so?
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
In the dark blue sky you keep,
And often through my curtains peep,
For you never shut your eye,
Till the sun is in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
As your bright and tiny spark,
Lights the traveler in the dark,
Though I don't know what you are,
Twinkle, twinkle, little star.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
My little rabbit
Lyrics :
My little rabbit
Ran away in the garden.
Search for me, peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo,
I'm hiding in the cabbage.
He wiggles his nose
He makes fun of the farmer.
Search for me, peek-a-boo, peek-a-boo,
I'm hiding in the cabbage.
Pulling his moustache,
The farmer goes to and fro
But he finds nothing at all!
The rabbit eats the cabbage!
Why sing nursery rhymes to your baby?
Nursery rhymes have many benefits for babies:
- - they soothe and reassure them and help them fall asleep,
- - they contribute to musical awakening and stimulate baby's hearing from birth,
- - they promote the child’s memory as they grow and help to develop their vocabulary,
- - they develop the imagination and stimulate the child's motor skills as they imitate the gestures,
- - they help children gain confidence when they sing their favourite nursery rhyme alone, and promote the inclusion of little ones when recited in a small group,
- - they provide a rhythm for the highlights of the day, and offer rich shared moments between parents and baby.
How to stimulate baby with nursery rhymes?
Place the child facing you in a comfortable position or on your lap. Use a puppet, a figurine or your baby's cuddly toy to mime gestures in front of your baby and capture their full attention. Start the music or turn on the music box; you can also sing a cappella. Then mime gestures according to the nursery rhyme or simply move the puppet in time to the music and enjoy this lovely moment of complicity with your child!
Mimed with a plush puppet, the songs take on a whole new dimension and further arouse baby's curiosity. The character of the baby’s nursery rhyme then becomes more tangible and accessible. The puppets encourage interaction between the child and their parents, who will enjoy sharing this special moment. The puppet talks to the baby, dances, kisses, expresses emotions... And it's even more fun when the puppet toy is easy to hold and pleasant to cuddle: a true companion for baby at all times.
Hanging a musical cushion near the baby or using a music box can create a ritual when it’s time to wake up or go to bed, during moments of play or to distract and entertain during a nappy change. A fabric music box is light and safe for baby. It will add a finishing touch to the child's bedroom, making it an ideal birth gift.
