3 1/2? You could also try songs in a different language... Spanish
lullabies are really nice.

"El Arca de Noe" (Noah's Ark) will teach him animal sounds...

Hokie Pokie is an all time favorite, itsy bitsy spider, any disney's
songs: I favor "Following the leader" (Peter Pan), Under the Sea (Little
Mermaid), you can also get him the Disney's sing along tapes/CD's... The
Wheels on the Bus go round and round...

Maybe Google under Children's song...

Good luck, and tell us the final result flowerforyou

Boom, Boom, Ain't It Great to be Crazy?


A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone shooting dice
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
"Whoops," said the flea, "There's a horse on me!"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Way down South where bananas grow
A flea stepped on an elephant's toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?"

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Way up North where there's ice and snow
There lived a penguin and his name was Joe
He got so tired of black and white
He wore pink slacks to the dance last night!
f4d
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The more you wear 'em the better they get
And you put 'em in the water and they don't get wet!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear that golden tone
Asked myself out for a date
Said be ready 'bout half-past eight!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Took myself to the picture show
Sat myself on the very last row
Wrapped my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face!

Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?
Giddy and foolish the whole day through
Boom, boom, ain't it great to be crazy?

Casper, the friendly ghost
The friendliest ghost you know!
The grownups might look at him with fright,
But the children all love him so.

He always says hello
And he's really glad to meet ya'
Wherever he may go,
He's kind to every living creature.

Grownups don't understand,
Why children love him the most,
But kids all know that he loves them so,
Casper the friendly ghost!

happy
Two of my daughters favorites when she was 3 1/2 was, Jesus Loves Me,
and Away In A Manger, (lol, she would sing it whether it was Christmas
or not). All three verses when she was three years old too. Same way
with Jesus Loves Me. Lets see, maybe "She'll Be Comin' Round The
Mountain"., She loved and still loves, that one.

If I think of some more, I will post them for you.

Fun/ SC

Thought of something else to tell you. When my niece (that had her baby
recently) was 3, I taught her how to play "Jesus Loves Me" on the piano,
just with one finger, and also "Over The Rainbow" too. Maybe if you have
a piano, you could show your three and a half year old to do the same.
Some kids don't have the attention span to do it, but my niece did, but
her sister didn't. My niece is musically inclined too, played flute and
piccolo in band. Music is great for kids to learn. My mom played for a
lady that was to give her piano lessons, but she played by ear so the
lady couldn't teach her. Start of young.
I love to sing.

Fun/ SC
