Kids Body Parts Song


Right Here is a great parts of the body song to get preschool children moving and identifying all different parts of the body.

The song really encourages the children to move and sing-a-long as they reply, "Right Here" as they answer my question and point to the appropriate parts of the body.

Count by 2

 Dancing 2's
Dancing 2's

Dancing 2's is a fun way for kids to learn to skip count by 2. Children follow me doing different dances as we count to 100 by 2. Every time we hit a place holder of tens we change dances.

Children sing-a-long with me as we dance to this fun skip counting song. Children easily learn the rhythm and melody which helps them remember how to count to 100 by 2's.

The combination of brain and body connections in this song really make it a winner to use over and over again to get kids exercising, get the wiggles out and memorize how to count to 100 by 2's.

Square Song


My square song features a happy singing square character that lets children not only see a square shape, but also gives them a catchy fun song to sing-a-long with.

The square song and character focus on the characteristics of a square.
1. 4 straight lines
2. 4 equal sides

I wrote this song to be a simple and fun way for kids to remember the basic concepts and features of a square. Have your children sing with our square character and then find squares in their environment to enhance and broaden their experience.

Circle Song

 Circle Song
This thumbnail is distorted by compression, the shape shown does not reflect the shape of the circle in the video.
Teach your children about the shape of a circle with this fun upbeat song.

The important concepts of a circle are highlighted and repeated in the song. My circle song describes the circle shape with the following:

  • A circle has no straight lines 
  • A circle has no beginning and no end
  • A circle is one closed curve
  • A circle has all points in the curve equal in distance form the center

These are all essential concepts about the circle shape. I add to the fun of learning and sing several familiar things children see and know about that are in the circle shape.  The song and video also provide real world examples of the circle, such as a tire and a full pizza.

I wanted to write songs about the shapes that explain the essential concepts of one shape at time so children can focus on each shape more thoroughly.
