Songs About Feelings

Singing about feelings

Parents and caregivers play an important role in helping children learn about feelings. By singing songs, reading books and having lots of conversations about different feelings parents are able to provide an emotional vocabulary that the child can use to understand and communicate their feelings and the feelings of others.

Here are two new songs we have been singing at ECDA to teach our toddlers’ group about some basic feelings.

Feelings Galore

(Sung to – Sing a Song of Sixpence)

You want to JUMP and SHOUT!

There are so many feelings that

We can talk about!
