A classic French song to sing to or with your baby or child. When your little one gets the lyrics down pat, you can try singing it in rounds. To sing in a round, you sing the first line of the song and when you move onto the second, your child can start singing the first line so that they are one line behind you. When you get to the “Ding dang dong” line – keep singing until they catch up with you and then you can both finish the song together.
