Our Favorite Songs for Springtime Fun
Spring is here, and that means longer days, blooming flowers, and fresh opportunities for joyful musical play with your little ones! At Rock-a-Baby, we love celebrating the seasons through song—and spring is one of our favorites. It’s a time of new beginnings, growth, and discovery, and music makes it all the more magical. Here are some of our go-to songs for bringing the spirit of spring to life at home or in class!
“Here Comes the Sun” – The Beatles
A timeless classic that feels just right for spring mornings. Sing along as the sun peeks through the windows and let your little one stretch and sway like a flower waking up! Add scarves or ribbons to mimic sunshine and light.
“Rain, Rain, Go Away”
We all know those April showers are just part of the season! This simple song is perfect for tapping on drums or buckets to create your own springtime storm. Try whispering or using different voices to keep it playful and engaging.
“Bumblebee Buzz”
Spring means buzzing bees busy at work! “Bumblebee Buzz” is a fun way to explore insect sounds, practice rhythm with hand motions, and gently wiggle around like little bees. This lively song helps children appreciate nature while giggling with joy.
“Somewhere Over the Rainbow”
Spring wouldn’t be complete without rainbows! This gentle, heartwarming melody beautifully captures the optimism and wonder of the season. It’s perfect for quieter moments, winding down after playtime, or cuddling together to dream of bright skies and colorful adventures. Singing this song can create lovely bonding moments, encouraging imagination and warmth between you and your little ones.
“Bunny Hop”
Put your right foot forward, put your left foot out… you know how it goes. Head into the garden and forage for carrots while you and your toddler hop around like bunnies!
“Mr. Sun”
PLEASE shine down on me! If it’s raining, this is a good one to brighten the mood and ask Mr. Sun to come out and dry things off so you can get back to playing in the grass again. And if he doesn’t comply, or stays hidden behind the trees or the clouds, then sing it until he does!
Tips for Spring Music Play
- Take your music time outside! Sing in the garden, at the park, or on a picnic blanket.
- Bring simple props like egg shakers, scarves, or bubbles to add to the sensory fun.
- Let your little one lead—whether they want to stomp like rain boots or hum like a bee, it’s all part of the creative journey.
Spring is all about growth and renewal, and music is the perfect companion to explore it with joy and wonder. So grab your instruments, open the windows, and let the songs of the season bring your family even closer.
Happy spring from all of us at Rock-a-Baby! ✨
