Picture book to be enjoyed on your knees [Communication with Children's Song]

Last update date December 24, 2023

"I don't know how to play a baby," "Is the picture book still early?" Would you like to sing a children's song?
Children's songs have been sung for a long time, with beautiful Japanese on the rhythm that children feel comfortable. While enjoying the children's songs, you can create the basis for words such as "listening" and "speaking".
Please try to play again and again while having fun with parents and children.

Three points of children's songs

  1. Let's relax and enjoy the interaction between parents and children.
  2. Let's play slowly and repeatedly while watching the baby's reaction.
  3. Sometimes babies don't want to be touched or dulled. In such a case, don't force yourself and play with another child song.

Let's play with children's songs
