“What can I sing to them?” Sing-along songs for toddlers, those little ones in your life — from circle-time classics to lullabies.
Toddlers learn best through repetition, rhythm, and simple, singable words — which is exactly why the same handful of songs have survived generations of playtime, story time, and bedtime.
Below you’ll find our full collection of toddler-friendly songs, grouped by how you’ll actually use them: getting little bodies moving, teaching first words and numbers, winding down for sleep, or just being silly together. Every song has a full sing-along video with vocals, and most also have a karaoke version if you’d rather sing it yourselves.

How to Use These Songs With Your Toddler
Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Toddlers thrive on hearing the same song many times — repetition is how the words and melody stick.
Add the actions.
Songs with movement (clapping, pointing, rocking) help toddlers connect words to meaning and burn a little energy at the same time.
Use karaoke versions for live singing.
If you want to sing a song yourself — at home, in a classroom, or at a birthday party — the karaoke (instrumental) version lets you lead without the recorded vocals competing.
Match the song to the moment.
Save the calming songs for naps and bedtime, and save the silly ones for active play — toddlers pick up on these cues quickly.
