There’s nothing quite so sweet as watching your child singing. Especially when they haven’t exactly grasped language yet.
Little E, my youngest at 18 months, loves nothing more than singing and dancing to ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’, especially the version on an album ‘Lullaby’, which we were kindly given to review earlier this year. We absolutely adored the album, and were thrilled when the people at the Rainbow Collections, sent us two more CDs to complete the collection.
Toybox is the second album in the trilogy from Zero 7′s singer Sophie Barker and producer KK. Filled with favourite nursery rhymes such as ‘Ring A Ring O’ Roses’, ‘Old MacDonald’, ‘If you’re Happy and You Know It’ this CD is so much more than your usual brash sounding children’s music. Rich sounds, often bewitching arrangements, and Sophie Barker’s velvety tones, make this beautiful album easy on the adult ear and a treat for children.
To complete The Rainbow Collections, ‘Snowflake’ is a wonderful collection of old and new Christmas songs. From classics like ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem’, to nativity staple ‘Little Donkey’ and the sing along loveliness of ‘Jingle Bells’, yet again Sophie Barker and KK, bring their own special magical twist to these well known festive favourites.
Both CDs are accompanied by beautifully illustrated songbooks and make a wonderful addition to any little one’s music collection.

My earliest memory of music is radio one, my auntie always had radio one on in her house, listening to it all day long. I used to love just sitting and playing with the radio on.
Have tweeted as well xx

We love ‘Lullaby’ so I can imagine that Toybox is also a refreshing change to the usual children’s music CD’s!
I think my earliest memory of music is when I moved to England as a little girl and was learning English through songs – I distinctly remember performing ‘Head, shoulders,knees and toes’ to my grandad!
I think my earliest memory of music was my Fisher Price record player. I loved it so much I have bought one for Piran for Christmas this year! I have tweeted as @Kellyfairy too.

I remember singing along to ‘hit me with your rhythm stick’ at a young age!!!
My earliest memory has to be singing ‘wheels on the bus’ numerous times with my mum and sister & this time of year whenever I hear ‘little donkey’ it always takes me back to being at primary school taking part in my first nativity!
