...so why not combine it with language learning and sing in a foreign language?!

Parents should sing to their children every day to avoid language problems developing in later life, according to a consultant. Too much emphasis in the early years is placed on reading, writing and numeracy, and not enough on the benefits of singing, according to Sally Goddard Blythe, a consultant in neuro-developmental education and director of the Institute for Neuro-Physiological Psychology.

Singing traditional lullabies and nursery rhymes to babies and infants before they learn to speak, is "an essential precursor to later educational success and emotional wellbeing", argues Blythe in a book. "Song is a special type of speech. Lullabies, songs and rhymes of every culture carry the 'signature' melodies and inflections of a mother tongue, preparing a child's ear, voice and brain for language."

LingoTunes CD and Songbook is the perfect way to introduce your child to such songs in French. Here's what parents are saying about the songs;
"Loooooving your CD!! lovely singing and very well sung words so we can hear them :) Too exciting to listen to and sing along to :) and the songbook is helpful to be able to look at too. Well done" Hannah, mum to Joshua
