Movement Songs In Hindi And English You Grew Up With And Must Teach Your Child

Movement songs come in very handy right from when you want to engage with your baby up until when you are teaching your preschooler important concepts. I would sing my favourites songs to my baby and over time he began recognising the song and even picked up the words to it when he started speaking! Movement songs can involve basic hand movements or can have you and your child dancing together! Looking for a perfect way to help your child get rid of excess energy? These songs can help with that too! Here are some tried and tested best movement and action songs for your child – from something to cure a grumpy moment or a bad weather day, these songs can do it all! When kids move to music, they will develop their coordination, balance, concentration and cognitive abilities along with a great deal of enjoyment!
