Songs

Short, catchy, calm songs for ages 1 to 6. Each one turns a healthy habit or an everyday routine into a sing-along. No flashing, no sudden loud sounds.

  1. Thump Thump, Happy Heart

    Hartley's theme song. Kids put a hand on their chest, feel the beat, jump to make it go fast, then breathe slow. Playing, fruits, veggies and water help a heart stay strong.

    Teaches: Heart health (theme song)
  2. Rainbow on My Plate

    Eat the rainbow: red strawberries, orange carrots, yellow bananas, green broccoli, blueberries, purple grapes and beans. A "What color is it?" game makes it a colors song too.

    Teaches: Healthy food
  3. Wiggle Wiggle, Hop and Go!

    A dance and exercise song: hop like Dot, stomp like Moss, spin like Pip and swoop like Nana Wren, with a freeze game in the middle. Moving and playing make hearts stronger.

    Teaches: Moving and playing
  4. Sip, Sip, Water

    Pour, lift, sip and say "ahhh" after playing outside. Water is the go-to drink when you're thirsty.

    Teaches: Drinking water
  5. Brush, Brush, Pip

    Little circles, top teeth, bottom teeth, then rinse and spit. About two and a half minutes, so it works as a two-minute brushing timer.

    Teaches: Brushing teeth
  6. Splash, Splash, Bath Time

    Wash arms, hands, tummy and toes, then pull the plug and wrap up warm. A calm song for the bedtime routine.

    Teaches: Bath time
  7. Tidy-Up Tune

    Blocks in the box, cars in a line, books on the shelf. A steady march that turns clean-up into a game.

    Teaches: Cleaning up
  8. Hands Go Scrub

    Water on, soap, front and back, between the fingers, rinse and dry. The chorus counts one to five to keep the scrubbing going.

    Teaches: Washing hands
  9. Potty Time, Take Your Time

    A calm, no-pressure potty song: sit, sing, wipe, flush and wash. Moss cheers "Good try!" because every try counts.

    Teaches: Potty learning
  10. Buckle Up, Click, Click

    Climb in, arms through the straps, and hear the buckle go click, click, click before the car rolls.

    Teaches: Car seat safety
  11. Tiny Bites, Big Smiles

    Sit up tall, take tiny bites and try something new, like an orange carrot or a green pea. A friendly nudge for picky eaters.

    Teaches: Trying new foods
  12. Colors in the Hollow

    A red apple, a yellow flower, a blue stream and a green leaf. Each verse adds a color and repeats the ones before.

    Teaches: Learning colors
  13. Hop and Count with Dot

    Dot hops one, two, three, four, five, then stops. Kids hop along and count to five.

    Teaches: Counting to 5
  14. Freeze and Wiggle

    Wiggle, stomp, clap and spin, then freeze like a tree. Moving plus listening, a great brain break.

    Teaches: Listening and moving
  15. Goodnight, Hollow

    The sun goes down in the meadow and the friends say goodnight. A soft, sung lullaby.

    Teaches: Bedtime
  16. Sleepy Hollow

    Gentle music-box sleep music with no words and no sudden sounds, for naps and bedtime.

    Teaches: Sleep music

Tip for grown-ups: use the songs as routine helpers. Play "Brush, Brush, Pip" while brushing, "Hands Go Scrub" at the sink, and "Goodnight, Hollow" to start winding down for bed. New songs are added often.
