🎶🎵 Song Bag Fun at Little Acorns! 🎵🎶

We’ve been having lots of fun with our song bag! 👜✨ The children loved taking turns to see what was hiding inside and joining in with our favourite songs and rhymes. 🐻🐸🦆

Song bags are a lovely way to encourage early communication and language, listening skills, turn-taking, memory and confidence through music and play. 🎤💛

There were lots of smiles, actions, singing and giggles as we brought our favourite nursery rhymes to life! 🥰🎶
