Just to let you know the following books(Shapes in Real Life)  are free to download for today and tomorrow.

Perhaps you could try tap gently on her shoulder or laps.

Instead of clapping, try using other instruments like drum, shaker, tambourine, maracas or even stamping feet, etc. 

My daughter loves using shakers and maracas.

Have fun and enjoy.

I wasn't sure what language the website was using, now I know it is in Russian 

I rely on Google translator....very useful...

Many thanks  for all your suggestions.  Appreciate them.

My daughter does like the puppets. Instead of a feltboard, I have 'tape' the characters with blue tac to popsicle sticks and move them... She likes them.


However, I still have problem whilst she watches the screen.  She resists to new nursery rhymes or songs and gets bored of the old one pretty quickly.  She used to like muffin songs, kidstv123..But now, I can only play few songs from the lists(less than 10), and the rest I have to skip and skip.....

After playing the list, she would ask for more. When I play her new songs, she doesn't like them.  She then will start crying if she is not in her best mood.  I have to go through the same thing 2 - 3 times a day.  Any suggestions would be of great help.

I have tried the super simple learning.  she also doesn't like them at present....

Hi,

I have come across this website today, hope you like them.

Hi Mandabplus3 and Skylark,

Many thanks for your suggestions.

Mandabplus3, very creative in your methods of teaching nursery rhymes! Would certainly try them.

Just wonder how do you introduce colouring to a 12 months old?  Any tips?

My daughter does enjoy the nursery thymes in different languages (of the one that she likes only) as we are bilingual. 

When I mention playing the songs ( I mean playing the video on computer with visual).  She points to the computer that we  play the video for her first thing in the morning.  She will ask at least 2 - 3 times a day to watch and listen to her rhymes...

She doesn't mind new nursery rhymes playing in the background whilst she plays though but will resist if she watches them.   

Skylark, I have tried few Readeez videos with her after your suggestion but she doesn't seem to like it at present.  Perhaps at a later stage..

My daughter who is now 12 months old loves listening to nursery rhymes.  She clearly shows her likes and dislikes of her songs.  If she doesn't like a particular song, she will point to ask us to forward it. 

My problem at present is that she doesn't like lots of the new songs that I introduce to her.  She would only listen to her favourites.  However, she gets bored of her favourites too.  So, I am running out of songs that she likes. 

I tried to delete 3 songs after 1 week and add in another new 3 songs, she still ask me to skip the new one...

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Regards
