Baby lap songs

Putting the baby in the lap is a very normal act that parents do every day with their babies for multiple reasons: to feed them, to read a story, to talk with them or to hold them if They do not know how to walk. In addition, we can sit the children in our lap to play and sing.

Sawdust: we put the baby in our lap facing us, we grab him by the hands and we rocking him back and forth as we sing this tune. As the baby grows older, the swing can also be more exaggerated. Children love almost to turn upside down.

Sawdust, they will shake,
the lumber of San Juan,
they ask for bread they do not give,
they ask for cheese, they give it a bone,
they ask for wine if they give it,
they get dizzy and they go away.

The song of the little hands: we sit the baby on our knees we can put both looking towards where we are, as well as the opposite side, and we put our hands within reach of their sight while doing what the song indicates.

Little by little, you can also repeat the gestures.

I take out a little hand I make her dance,
I close it, I open it and I keep it again
I take out another little hand I make her dance,
I close it, I open it and I keep it again
I take out the two little hands I make them dance,
I close them , I open them and I keep them again. Mal

Malmitas palms

: the child sits on our lap facing us or we can also put him in the opposite direction. We grabbed him by the hands and helped him applaud.Little by little, we will try that he alone applauds. At the end of the song we can tickle the baby's tummy, the next time you sing the song, wait with a smile, the moment of tickling.

Palms, palm hearts,

figs and chestnuts,
sugar and nougat
for my child are.

Five little cubs

: we sit the baby in the lap looking towards us and we move the hand to one side and another while we sing this song.Five little wolves

has the wolf,
five little wolves,
behind the broom.
Five little cubs, par five gave birth,
five raised,
and at five,
at five
tetita gave them.

The wheelie song

: with the baby or the child on our knees and looking at our faces, we begin to sing the song while we raise our legs up and down carefully.

According to let's say step, trot or gallop, we move our legs with more speed. The baby will want to repeat the song of the horse again and again, and he can also learn the difference between slow and fast.In a gray horse (name of the boy) he went to Paris,

to the step, to the step, to the step ...

to the trot, to the trot, to the trot ...
to the gallop, gallop, gallop ...
