Something that has been key in my day-to-day life with my little ones is finding the balance between order and freedom. Having a clear plan for playtime can work wonders, but without losing that touch of spontaneity that our little ones love so much.
How can we achieve this? By using tools that allow them to explore freely, but within an organized framework. For example, having a varied repertoire of songs and games not only makes it easier to create moments of play and bonding but also gives them the independence to choose what they feel like doing at that moment. It’s the perfect combination!
Moreover, these small routines give them a sense of security. Knowing what to expect and having options makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed while they learn and have fun. And let’s not forget: kids love repetition!
At Petit Folks, we’ve reimagined the traditional children’s songbook to make it accessible and magical for little ones. With our wooden boxes filled with illustrated cards, kids can discover traditional songs, express their preferences, and recognize familiar melodies.
But that’s not all. The app is also there for you: not only does it include music, but it also provides play ideas, crafts related to the songs, and more resources to help you turn every song into a special playtime moment.
And if you want them to get even more involved, let them choose their favorite song or discover a new one. You’ll be amazed at how much they enjoy feeling part of the process!
If you’d like to learn more about introducing these routines and games at home or in the classroom, I invite you to visit our blog and explore more resources on our app.
