Day 2 of the Brain Building Song Series! Each day, I’ll share a new category of songs that boost brain development. Today we will talk about GESTURE songs, this category guarantees giggles and brain building fun!
Babies LOVE gesture songs, and for good reason! 🎶 They’re not just fun—they help build brain connections for language, movement, and social skills!
🎵 Favorite gesture Play Songs:
⭐️ The Itsy Bitsy Spider – Crawling fingers help with tactile awareness.
⭐️ Open Shut Them – Teaches babies about opposites and rhythm.
⭐️ The Wheels on the Bus – Engages motor planning with actions like “swish” and “beep.”
⭐️ Patty Cake – A classic for turn-taking and coordination.
