Childrens fingerplays make learning fun!

Childrens Fingerplays help them learn with music and movement of their hands and their whole body. Your children will love singing along to the songs while following directions.

You will be teaching them new things through play! – Amazing! Fun and Learning go hand in hand again.

Here are several reasons to do children’s fingerplays:


1. They encourage your children to learn new vocabulary words.
2. They help your children to learn rhythm in music.
3. They teach your children to follow directions.
4. They help your children to develop listening skills.
5. They help your children to develop muscle control.
6. They increase your children’s attention span.
7. They are a Fun Activity!

I would highly recommend these Usborne books for teaching fingerplays!
