As I type this sentence, my little 2-year-old boy is sitting on my lap and belting out his version of “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.”
It takes me back to my own childhood that is coloured with memories of my grandmother singing me popular Sri Lankan baby nursery rhymes.
Reading or singing baby nursery rhymes is a great way for mum to bond with baby.
These beautiful baby nursery rhymes were about mother elephants who crossed rivers, the moon smiling down at sleeping children, golden butterflies, fluffy white rabbits and playful puppies.
Baby nursery rhymes are a universal language spoken by caregivers of little ones to tell stories, stimulate kids or put them to sleep. These rhymes give children beautiful memories of songs they can one day pass on to their own children.
