This imaginative video with Daniella Ballerina and all her cartoon friends is a great way for your budding dancer to learn some basic ballet skills.

Get your kids up, dancing and laughing along to this amazing video by children’s entertainer Dantastic Productions. Before starting the video, help your kids collect the thing they will need: a noise-maker (such as a shaker, musical instrument, or pot and spoon), two things to wave or shake (such as scarves, pom poms, or tea towels), and a hat (or something your child can put on their head). Then, join Dantastic and Cheeky Monkey on an interactive, magical, musical adventure!

Follow along with the actions as Jackie sings ‘All The Little Ducks.’ Then she reads the very silly book ‘Dinosaurs Love Underpants’ by Claire Freedman and Ben Cort.

Is tidy up time proving to be a challenge? GoNoodle has some great strategies to help. Play the upbeat Clean Up! song to get your kids up and dancing along to the movements.

Then, turn tidying into a challenge. Call out a colour or a shape and have your kids tidy only the objects that fit that description. Keep going until the whole room is clean!

Otherwise, try playing Freeze Clean. Just as with freeze dance – play some upbeat music while your children tidy. Every time you pause the music, your children must freeze in place.

Get your kids up, dancing and laughing along to this amazing video by children’s entertainer Dantastic Productions. Before starting the video, help your kids collect the thing they will need: a bit of aluminium foil, a noise-maker (such as a shaker, musical instrument, or pot and spoon), and something to shake (such as a pom pom or tea towel). Then, join Dantastic and Cheeky Monkey on an interactive, magical, musical adventure!

This episode of Song & Storytime is not to be missed! Your little ones will be laughing along and shouting at the screen as Jackie introduces her silly puppet, Casper. Participate in several call and response songs to see what sort of reaction you can get from Casper when Jackie isn’t looking!

Today’s book is actually a song, ‘There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly.’ Enjoy the pictures on each page as Jackie sings her way through this silly story.

Clap along and follow the actions as Jackie sings the Musical Bumps theme song. Then she reads ‘Emily Brown and the Elephant Emergency’ by Cressida Cowell.

Do you have any leftover paper plates in the back of the cupboard? Find some classic waltz music, such as Sleeping Beauty Waltz, Swan Lake Waltz or Skater’s Waltz, and get your little ones to ‘skate’ around the room, just like this music class.

Grab your shakers and join Jackie from Musical Bumps singing ‘Love My Mummy’ in honour of Mother’s Day.

Then Jackie puts on a fabulous Australian accent to read ‘There’s an Ouch in My Pouch!’ by Jeanne Willis.

Join Jackie from Musical Bumps as she leads the action-packed song ‘I am the Music Man.’

Then Jackie reads a lovely rhyming story about a boy who only wants to wear the colour red, called ‘Barnaby Bennett’ by Hannah Rainforth.
