Welcome to Playsongs Playtime, a joyous five minutes of interactive play with your baby or toddler. Each episode introduces one short playrhyme and one short playsong, and guides you through playing with them - right now in the moment - or tucked away and played again and again later. Our aim is to bring playsongs and playrhymes to life for you and your little one - so you can enjoy the participatory action to the full. Babies and toddlers have chuckled and laughed through action play with their grown ups since play began - and they learn so much through play - language development, physical development, bonding, communication and interaction. But best of all, it’s fun - a few moments of precious, total engagement just with you. Basing each episode on the much-loved Playsongs books and audio, presenter and author, Sheena Roberts, is joined by Playsongs People musicians, Sandra Kerr, Leon Rosselson, Janet Russell, Kevin Graal, Steve Grocott, Nancy Kerr, James Fagan, and Debbie Sanders who sing and play the songs with us. You’ll find peekaboo games, knee-bouncers, tickle rhymes, joyous lifts, sound explorers, and soothers - each one tried, tested and voted great by baby gurgles and toddler giggles. No special skills needed—just bring your voice, your baby, and a willingness to play. Find all our playsongs and playrhymes at www.playsongs.co.uk
