baby—newborn to 1.5 years
Early on, someone probably sang this rhyme to you. That's likely why you
still know "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star." The earlier you sing rhymes
like these to
your little one, new research shows the earlier she makes sense of language, gets ready for reading, and so much more. Here's how.
Twinkle with a twist (This activity is from the
baby camp: Peek-a-boo, I Love You!)
Moving your baby's arms and legs while you speak this rhyme helps your
baby's muscles develop from reflexive movements to intentional movements.
- Rest your baby so that she's comfortably lying on her back.
- Hold her hands and move them up and down in unison while you sing or speak the words.
- Sing it through again and move her legs up and down to the rhythm of
your words.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
