Montessori Inspired Music and Movement Activities for 0 to 1 Year Olds




Songs from the video Music and Movement Activities for 0 to 1 year Old

I have specially put together this Montessori Inspired music and movement activities for 0 – 1 year olds.

These activities are designed for babies to support their development by creating a prepared environment where they unconsciously further improve their senses such as seeing and hearing and strengthen their muscles which they need for movements such as kicking, grabbing, turning, sitting etc. These are all DIY activities which are very easy to put together. All these activities must be done under ADULT SUPERVISION!


Where is (Chid´s name) sung to the tune (Tune: Are you Sleeping)

Where is (Child´s name)

Where is (Child´s name)

Here I am

Here I am 

How are you today?

How are you today?

Very well thank you!

Very well thank you!


Wiggle song: This little Piggy went to the market

This little Piggy went to the market

This little piggy stayed at home

This little piggy had roast beef (if you are vegan than say ) had some apples

This little piggy had none

This little piggy went wee, wee, wee

All the way home!


Tickle song: Round and rund the garden like a teddy bear

Round and round the garden like a teddy bear (with your index finger gently trace in circle around inside of the infant´s palm).

One step

Two steps

Three steps.......

(Walk your fingers up babies arm)

Tickle you under there!

(Tickle under the chin, arm or tummy)


Babies love funny sounds so this is just a perfect song to sing to your baby and toddler.  It makes funny sound; the baby is indirectly learning the numbers up to 5. Babies love joining in so towards the end and you will hear them make a sound.

Five little ducks went swimming one day

Five little ducks went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother Duck said quack quack quack

But only four little ducks came back

Four little ducks went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother Ducks said quack quack quack

But only three little ducks came back

Three little ducks went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother Duck said quack quack quack

But only two little ducks came back

Two little ducks went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother Duck said quack quack

But only one little duck came back

One little duck went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother Duck said quack quack quack

But none little ducks came back

Then Papa Duck went swimming one day

Over the hill and far away

And Papa Duck said quack quack quack

And all little ducks came swimming straight back


This action song is very good for babies under one year old.

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Pull, pull clap clap clap

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap

Point to the ceiling

Point to the floor

Point to the window

And point to the door

Clap your hands together

One two three

Clap your hand upon your knees

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Pull, pull clap clap clap

Wind the bobbin up

Wind the bobbin up

Pull, pull, clap, clap, clap
