Early on, someone probably sang this rhyme to you. That's likely why you still know "Twinkle,

Twinkle Little Star." The earlier you sing rhymes like these to your little one, new research shows the earlier she makes sense of language, gets ready for reading, and so much more.

Using all the places you go with your baby as a theme, we'll expand your repertoire of on-the-go, attention-getting songs, and rhymes to grow with you both. Each lesson features new activities and songs you can sing this summer—at the store, the playground, the doctor, and more.

Sample activity

Twinkle with a twist this activity is from the baby camp Peekaboo, I Love You!
Moving your baby's arms and legs while you speak this rhyme helps your baby's muscles develop from reflexive movements to intentional movements.

• Rest your baby so that she's comfortably lying on her back.
• Hold her hands and move them up and down in unison while you sing or speak the words.
• Sing it through again and move her legs up and down to the rhythm of your words.

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
