Many parents go insane trying to find the perfect lullaby or nursery rhyme to sleep to soothe their children to sleep at night. There is a large range of songs available today with which your sons and daughters can learn to appreciate music alongside you, and we have selected a dozen lyrics to help you find the appropriate song for them to sleep and rest.
What is it about nursery rhymes that makes them so beneficial to sleep?
As a result of their exposure to music, kids will learn to interact more effectively with other boys and girls since music provides them with emotional stability, confidence, and the ability to communicate harmoniously through the use of a common tune. Also, as they grow older, children’s songs can serve to stimulate them and even to teach them morals and good behavior, as is the case with the first children’s song to sleep that we have chosen: Pin Pon, which is a Spanish song about a pig.
Pin Pon is a doll
Pin Pon is a very attractive cardboard doll made of cardboard. He washes his face with soap and water, and then with soap again. Pin Pon is a doll who, among other things, brings us a happy and relaxing melody with which we can transmit serenity to our sons and daughters, while we sing lyrics aimed at personal hygiene and the importance of friendship: wash your face, comb your hair, don’t get dirty all the time… and make friends with Pin Pon!
Let’s get ready for bed
Teaching kids this song can provide them with the perfect excuse to see the positive side of resting, which is necessary for them (and for us! ), as well as for us. However, kids are not always in a pleasant mood when they are told (“five more minutes!”).
Do you agree that the Telern Family’s portrayal in the film is fantastic? In any case, there are many more! For example, you may find more classic songs – those that have been around for a long time – as well as more contemporary music if you browse through the children’s channels on YouTube or the children’s playlists on Spotify.
The piglets have already retired to their beds
In a similar vein to the previous story, this lullaby is all about spending the night with the three tiny pigs, who had aspirations of becoming kings, sailing the seas, and working to support their mother. Before we fall asleep, we will discover that resting may be enjoyable, that it can provide us with energy, and that sleeping allows us to dream.
The owl makes an “Shhh” sound!
This tiny compilation, which includes other children’s lullabies to sleep, is by Leoncito Alado, and it will make even you drowsy, like Estrellita, where are you? I reach out a small hand and scratch it a little. These are more contemporary songs that we may learn to sing with the children, or we can use the audio-video to sing together before going to bed before they sleep.
Sawdust, Sawdust, Sawdust
Sawdust, Aserrán, a song of which each country usually has a different version as is usual in songs to play with babies (Five little wolves have the she-wolf, Al paso, al trote, al gallop), is an entertaining title, with a simple letter that is easy for boys and girls to follow; additionally, it will cause them to lie down with a relaxed smile on their faces, as you will see.
Cu cú the frog sang
We’ll leave you with a rendition of another of the most well-known children’s songs to put you to sleep: “Cu c, cu c, the frog sang, Cu c, cu c, beneath the surface of the water, The sound of cu c’s passed a gentleman, cu c’s de cape and hat “cu c’s cu c’s de cape and hat.” In particular, we like the children’s version of the Leoncito Alado YouTube channel, both for the animations and the quality of the music.
An Elephant Swayed
An elephant swayed… while suspended in a spider web! Because he could see that he was not about to fall, he decided to go in search of… another elephant! Isn’t this something we all remember from our own childhood?
A light-hearted melody that plays with imagery and the bizarre so that our kid or daughter may unwind and fall asleep with a smile on his or her face. With it, we will also practice counting, and when we count an elephant, two elephants, three elephants, four elephants swayed, and so on, sleep will gradually come to us.
Where have you gone, Estrellita?
Also, we can teach the little ones this rendition of ToyCantando of a traditional children’s song to put them to sleep: “Estrellita, where have you gone? I’m looking forward to seeing you twinkle. A true diamond, whether it’s in the sky or the water!” It will become a nightly ritual for your children!
The Bottom Line
With the latter, you have a large pool of nursery rhymes to choose from in order to learn which ones your children enjoy the most as they sleep.
Bedtime may be transformed into a few minutes full of pleasant elements, relaxation, and rest when you use music to aid you and remember that you can rely on many YouTube channels and pages with songs that will offer you ideas about many other songs that we have seen.
Also on our youtube channel “Beautiful Relaxing Music” you can find a lullaby track for babies “Dreaming Music with Soft Rain, Lullaby, Sleeping Music“:
