Anna van Riel is a singer/songwriter from Lake Hawea, New Zealand and has created a 14 track children's album full of fun and interactive songs for babies up to the age of seven.
The first seven years are of vital importance to a child. In this phase, and at a very rapid pace, children master the skills of movement, speech, gesture, verbal and non-verbal communication, uprightness and many others. Most of this is learnt through imitation — the young child mimics everything from physical movements through to attitudes & values.
Take one bowl, add a little bit of soul
Here's a song to make you jump and swing
A mixing spoon, be ready soon
You and I are gonna dance and sing
Add some Oooh's, a pinch of ahhh's
A little boogie woogie and some air guitar
Stamp your feet, you can't go wrong
Baby you and me are cooking up a song
Stretch high, bend down
Wriggle and jiggle to the ground
Snap the beat. You can't go wrong
We're cooking up a song
Spaghetti arms, tap dance toes
Shake, shake your boogie and wriggle your nose
Knock your knees, yell big bang bong
Oh you and me are cooking up a song
Mix it up, mix it well
It's gonna taste sweet, honey you can tell
With a rhythm so right, it can't be wrong
Honey you and me are cooking up a song!
