This is more like a "Works For Abby" Wednesday!I recently stumbled upon a product called HeidiSongs. I will admit, I watched the demos and was laughing at how silly it was. However, Abby would love it!
If I make up a song, Abby learns it really quickly. We have songs for:
Days of the Week
Months of the Year
Holidays
**I included our Branson vacation trip in September as a holiday**
and the order of birthdays in our family . Most recently, Abby had me make a song up about weddings in our family! LOL!
I use the same tune for each song and she learns them so fast! Dave just started a song with Abby about counting by 10's to 100.
We sing the songs during the day when we are driving and she requests them at night after we read books. And by request, I mean I have to sing ALL of the songs.
Check out these awesome resources I just found about learning through singing:
Songs for Teaching
Music Education Lesson Plans
Another product I am looking into is Sing, Spell, Read and Write : Kindergarten Level 1 Combo Kit
. It was one of Kathy Duffy's 100 Top Picks for Homeschool Curriculum. It's a little on the expensive side though, so we stick with our amateur singing.What works for you or your kids? Head over to We Are THAT Family to participate.

This sounds great. I have an almost 2 year old who loves to sing. She would probably do well with the learning songs too. Thanks for sharing.
I get Noah to learn by singing songs too.
This is super cute! My daughter LOVES singing, so I'll have to check this out. I am a former teacher and I am a big believer that putting music/tunes to things helps a ton with memorization! Thanks for sharing!
Aww.. very good!
What a great idea! My girls both love to sing, so they would definitely love this!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I can't wait to check out those sites you gave out, We have always sang hard spelling word to help Adam get them, can't wait to learn other ideas. Thanks for sharing this. And Abby is adorable!!
Music is such an important part of children's learning and development. If you have to sing EVERY song...maybe you shouldn't make any more up!
Thanks for sharing the links.
Cute videos. Singing songs to learn works, My son is in Kindergarden and comes home all the time singing new stuff he learned in school. Thank you for sharing this post.
Hi there! I just wanted to let you know that I just gave you an award on my blog. Turns out (by looking at your sidebar directly next to this comment box) that you already have this award.
Still, that just means you're extra deserving, right?
