Why a podcast for babies?
This screen-free mix of songs, rhymes, fingerplays and simple stories, are designed to boost your baby's brain, interspersed with important tips and valuable information about how to encourage language and vocabulary development from birth.
It is a tool to use every day for 15 minutes of intentional early literacy skill building and helps during tummy time, fussy moments in the high chair and in the car; your little one will become quiet and intent on listening.
It is trilingual - English, Spanish and American Sign Language, to expose them to the diversity of language.
Every episode reinforces the rhythm and structure of language and exposes your little one to lots of new vocabulary.

Pronounced:
shin (like above your ankle)
nian (knee-yen).
kuai (like the bridge over the river kuai).
le (luh ).
2: Chopsticks, noodles, tea and tofu.
3: The lyrics and the music of the song "Gung Hay Fat Choy" was written by Nancy Stewart from Sing With Your Kids:
Gung Hay Fat Choy – Chinese New Year Song (wishing you good fortune and happiness)
CHORUS: (Keep a rhythm patting hands together one hand up, then the other)
Gung Hay Fat Choy, Gung Hay Fat ChoySing Happy New Year, Gung Hay Fat Choy
The new moon tells us, exactly when
(hold up hand in C shape for crescent moon)
To celebrate with family and friends (clap hands in rhythm)
Clean up the house and get out the broom
Sweep out the old year, bring in the new
(pretend to sweep)
Bring out the apples, the oranges too
(hold out one fist, then the other)
Their colors bring us joy and good luck too
The dragon dances, the lanterns light
(place hands together, and snake around )
The firecrackers light up the night
(alternate right and left fist with fingers opening quickly to mimic shooting fireworks).
4: I added a tune to a few of the pages of the book Dragon Dance by Joan Holub, illustrated by Benrei Huang to make the song about the awesome color 'red'.
🐍 Thanks Amber for your New Years' greetings straight from China!
and MASSIVE THANKS to
