If you were making a list of maybe the ten to twenty most important early childhood songs, which would you include?
I'm thinking things like The Itsy Bitsy Spider, Old MacDonald, Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Do You Know the Muffin Man- like that.
Your picks?
I'm in. My list here:

My favorites are/were Banbury Cross and If All the World Were Paper. My 2yo son's favorites are Baa Baa Black Sheep and Take Me Out to the Ballgame (he's been trying to sing that one lately). As a baby, I would sing him The Last Rose of Summer as a lullaby, since, as a Celtic harpist, I'm partial to Moore.

ReplyDeleteSo many songs I love didn't make the list. There is no way to include them all. I'd love to see your list!
Teddybear Picnic, Lavender's Blue, All the Pretty Little Horses, Michael Row the Boat Ashore, and the song Winnie the Pooh sings when he's exercising. My babies loved to exercise to that one!
ReplyDeleteWhat about The Owl and the Pussycat went to Sea and also A frog went a'Courting? Lots more too but those just came to mind.
ReplyDeleteAs well as the other two I just posted there's Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron.
