When my kids were younger we enjoyed dancing around the lounge room singing the good old-fashioned nursery rhymes. I had Old Macdonald’s Farm animal sounds perfected! I’m not much of a dancer but I have to admit that these shows helped me just as much as the kids and gave me a little bit of exercise! You really can’t help but to dance and sing, which is a wonderful way to spend time with the kids and creates a great family dynamic – laughing, being noisy and what I love most was when we were exhausted at the end of the show, it was a good time to sit and cuddle.
It was so lovely seeing my niece dance, jump up and down with her crazy laugh. She was having a ball and totally forgot that 5 minutes earlier she was grizzly for her mummy. It’s moments like these that I love to sit back, take in and watch the freedom and bursts of energy from the kids.
Do you dance around the lounge room with the kids?
The new series of Play Along with Sam is on the Nick Jr. channel weekdays at 10am. Tune in to laugh, sing and dance! It’s a great time to spend with your kids learning new songs that you can then continue to sing in the car or at bath time!!
Sam really captures kids attention. His shows are good learning experience for the kids and they are fun at the same time! My niece and I watched his clips online here – It’s a great hub where parents can find lots of videos, activity sheets and games to keep the kids entertained.
