Playsongs Playtime
Welcome to Playsongs Playtime, a joyous five minutes of guided interactive play with your baby or toddler. Each episode introduces one short playrhyme and one short playsong, and guides you through playing with them - right now in the moment - or tucked away and played again and again later. Our aim is to bring playsongs and playrhymes to life for you and your little one - so you can enjoy the participatory action to the full. Babies and toddlers have chuckled and laughed through action play with their grown ups since play began - and they learn so much from it - language development, physical development, bonding, communication and interaction. But best of all, it’s fun - a few moments of precious, total engagement just with you. Basing each episode on the much-loved Playsongs books and audio, presenter and author, Sheena Roberts, is joined by Playsongs People musicians, Sandra Kerr, Leon Rosselson, Janet Russell, Kevin Graal, Steve Grocott, Nancy Kerr, James Fagan, and Debbie Sanders who sing and play the songs with us. You’ll find peekaboo games, knee-bouncers, tickle rhymes, joyous lifts, sound explorers, and soothers - each one tried, tested and voted great by baby gurgles and toddler giggles. No special skills needed—just bring your voice, your baby, and a willingness to play. Find all our playsongs and playrhymes at www.playsongs.co.uk
Episodes
Two peekaboo games to play with your baby or toddler. They love the anticipation. They’re listening, they’re waiting, then... Boo! There you are again. Great fun.
Hush a bye baby bye hypnotically sways you and your baby or toddler into a soothing calm, perfect for you both, then Souallé takes over to rock you both into peaceful dreams.
Two little bats (you and your baby or toddler) go swooping and looping then 'they both fall asleep hanging upside down'. (Securely held of course!) Then we all go hopping, jumping, and bumping with Bob and the Frog.
Pony trotting knee riders are great games for bigger babies and toddlers and lovely for babes-in-arms held securely against you as you lightly trot on the spot.
A playrhyme and a playsong exploring some of those first sounds that we pick out of the jumble and play with together - whether travelling by when we're out and about or cosily sharing a noisy picture book together.
We’ve got two leg walkers for you, both of them featuring daft little dogs. One of them leaps off to Dover and the other two are trotting around Wales in sunshine and rain. Great knee-time fun for babies and toddlers.
An old Irish knee bouncer with a surprise slide and three naughty little monkeys bouncing on the bed provide us with five minutes of hilarious, shared knee-time play.
Here are two joyous jumps to give you both a laugh. In the rhyme Jack Be Nimble, there’s a glorious skyward lift. In Jack-in-the-Box, there are whole body actions for toddlers and down and up lifts for a baby.
Two little tickle rhymes featuring friendly mice. They're great little teasers to give baby a giggle and instantly distract them from a moment of distress, or to play any moment you're relaxing together.
Two close up 'yours' 'mine' face touchers to play with your baby or toddler. Face to face fun with Eye Winker, and Cheeky Cheeky Chin. Play now or tuck them away for after baby's feed, when you’re getting your toddler’s face washed, or they're just cuddled up on your knee.
