Playsongs Playtime

30. Nighttime Hugs and Moontime Love

A winding down, gentle, rocking episode, perfect for a quiet moment of calm or to soothe baby into nighttime sleep with Hugs, rhymed by author, Kaye Umansky, and with Kevin Graal and Stephen Chadwick providing the soundscape. Then a tune you’ll very likely find very familiar, but have never heard sung as a lullaby - until Mummy Went up to the Moon and Back with Debbie Sanders singing and Steve Grocott accompanying. It’s Playsongs Playtime.

29. Happy Nappy time with Bananas in Pyjamas

A happy, clappy chorus of celebration for a nice clean nappy - no tears or fuss with a rhyme like this for baby to look forward to. Our Happy Nappy celebration is rhymed by Kevin Graal, ably accompanied by the Nappy Chorus, and our Bananas in Pyjamas song will get baby cheerfully dressed for bed (or going out) in no time with Sandra Kerr and Leon Rosselson singing it and teaching you the words line by line. It’s Playsongs Playtime.

28. Fly high with a crow and land on a donkey

High rise hoists are a joy for a baby, sturdy enough to support their head, and for a toddler - as long as you still have the strength to lift them above your head! So get ready for some energetic exercise with Catch him Crow rhymed by Leon Rosselson and a cascade of falling apples, and our Donkey Riding call and response, shanty song with Janet Russell, singing the calls, and Sandra Kerr, singing the responses - her concertina accompanying both - it’s Playsongs Playtime.

27. Knock at the Door and Look who comes here!

Sound exploring can be a noisy business, but we’re starting it very very quietly for your very very tiny baby as we gently play our rhyme Knock at the Door. But then, we open the door, and in come a noisy band singing Look who comes here to introduce a dolly, tapping on baby’s high chair, a caterwauling kitten, and a kazoo-croaking frog chorus. Let the sound exploration begin - with Kevin Graal rhyming, and Janet Russell, Sandra Kerr and Leon Rosselson singing, tapping, caterwauling and croaking - it’s Playsongs Playtime.

26. Rig a jig jig and away we go

A couple of Silly Billies give us a daft little game of tangled feet when Bill Anderson and Tom Sim get into a tussle, which slides baby off your knee and onto the floor. Meantime we meet our friends in a happy little leg-walker which lifts off into a glorious high-lifting knee-bouncer, or babe-in-arms dance with Rig a jig jig and away we go. Action time for babies and toddlers with Kevin Graal rhyming, Sandra Kerr singing, and Leon Rosselson on banjo. It’s Playsongs Playtime.
