AdventurerKatzi"Singing" love little children!
When playing with cuddly animals, each "animal" can get his own song/sing verse or verse! Use song parts (suitably to the cuddly animal!) that you know from your childhood, for example.
It works the same way for distracting: just start singing...
Collect your cuddly animals in a box or basket. And here we go...
Take out a cuddly animal or your child should bring you one and then start with a matching song verse to the respective cuddly animal!
Each animal retains its "song" and whenever the child comes with the cuddly animal, you can sing the song. Thus, songs are learned playfully through multiple repetitions and even if your child does not yet speak, it will eventually know the songs and sing along piece by piece, wag along, clap or imitate your movements!

Dear Jen, thank you so much for your ideas and sharing. A great addition to the adventure. When do you like to sing?
If you have any further ideas, this is also an option to add even more here. The little adventurers will be happy.
Hello Elke, Thank you so much to hear when I like it. We sing almost every day. I work in a kindergarten and the children love to sing and move.
Dear Jen, great! Then I hope this platform is a treasure trove for your work. Cordially, Alice from the Adventure Market
