Educational Music Game
A Fantastic Way To Have Fun And Learn




Educational music game, toys, instruments and CDs are a great way for Toddlers and Preschoolers to gain from listening to music.

From helping their speech and movement, to benefiting their self-confidence, self-expression and helping their listening and concentration.

Well I could do with a bit of that, couldn’t you? Lets Sing and dance the night away!

Action Songs

Action Songs help your toddler experience music physically through play, and is great way of interacting between you and your toddler.

Your child won’t know that he is actually doing educational music games, its just fun to him.

There are many simple action songs that just involve you singing and clapping while your toddler imitates your actions.

It will also help to develop fine motor skills in the hands and fingers, and develop their vocabulary.

Actions songs allow children to take part even when they can’t sing all the words.

Above all, action songs are great fun.

Children love joining in and doing activities with you. An action song can even change their mood, and yours too, making you both happier and content. My personal favourite for changing my mood is “Johnny Taps With One Hammer, it just makes you laugh.

Some suggestions are;

Head, Shoulders, Knees And Toes
The Wheels On The Bus
If You’re Happy And You Know It
I’m A Little Teapot
When Goldilocks Went To The House In The Woods
Johnny Taps With One Hammer
One Finger, One Thumb


Don’t worry about your singing skills; your child will respond to your enthusiasm and vibe, not how it sounds, they are not the X Factor judges.

But if it is the singing your worried about, or you need some help rembering some of the joining songs you used to do, why not buy an Action Songs CD, we have included a large selection at our Educational Music Game and Toddlers Action Songs Shop

As with All Our Shops we have made fonding your childrens games and toys hassle free by sorting all the ages and all the subjects.

Educational Music Game
To Discover Music

Children love listening to music, and the younger they are, the broader their taste will be. You can go to the library and get a range of different music, so you can find out what music makes your toddler tick,and then make up your own educational music game, to get your child involved more in music.

At this age music is an adventure. Learning to listen to and appreciate music is a skill that can help your child’s development in many areas.

It can improve their listening skills and their concentration, but don’t sit him down, ready to concentrate on music or force it on him, this will probably do the opposite of developing this skill.

From 18 months to 3 years your toddler may develop a more advanced musical sense including;

  • Recognising the difference between loud and quiet, fast and slow.

  • Keeping track of the beat, and recognising different rhymes.

  • Learning the words to simple songs.

  • Developing the co-ordination needs to play simple instruments.

  • Learn to co-operate with other children.

Every child should have a few basic instruments, so that can experiment with music as the wish.

A child’s concentration span can be very short, if they are enjoying a piece of music they may well express this the only way they know how, at this age through movement.



Kids Music Fun
Feel The Beat

The benefits of regular dance sessions are endless. Children are being creative, developing gross and fine motor skills, can work together with other children, build relationships and gain self esteem, to name a few.



As with singing songs, dancing to musical tapes will help with their language learning, and get your child used to the rhythm and tune.

There are some fantastic tapes to get you moving!

One of our nursery’s favourite educational music game is The Sticky Kids CDs, but don’t think that it's just for kids.

You have to put in 100 per cent, energy and exuberance.

If you are enjoying the dancing then the children are more likely to as well, so show them you’re having a really good time,

Speech Development and Music

Music aids the development of speech. Singing simple songs teaches your child how language is constructed.

Repetition of simple songs and chants can help your child learn the basic structure of spoken language. They also build on their vocabulary.

Music also offers children a way to explore a whole range of moods and emotions they can identify with, but can’t put into words.

Make a musical activity part of your toddler’s day.

Sing their favourite songs with them

Make your own instruments

Encourage him to sing with other children

Play musical games, repeating rhymes and sing funny songs

And most of all enjoy it.



Everyone is musical, everyone can sing, and every child can get an enormous amount of pleasure and benefit from learning an instrument. Go about it the right way and you will be giving your child an experience, that will last the throughout their life.
