Music is a big part of life. Kids can learn from music at a very early age and many songs are based on helping kids learn. It would only make sense then that many of the searches done through my site here at Bellaonline are for lyrics to popular children’s songs. Well the problem with posting lyrics to children’s songs is that most, if not all of them are protected by copy write law. So in order for me to help you find lyrics to songs for your children I did some searching and found these websites for children’s song lyrics. Some of the sites have just lyrics; some have music and lyrics, and some have lyrics and then products to sell. All of the sites listed have free lyrics and no membership is required.

KIDiddles - http://www.kididdles.com/lyrics/ - Although there is no membership fee, they do have an area where you can sign up to donate money to help the site stay up and running. The site has several search options which make it easy to access the specific song you are looking for, or you can search by subject. A lot of the listings have music attached so you can get the melody with the lyrics. There are also a few games you can play with your child.

Bussongs - http://www.bussongs.com/ - Goes along the same lines as the site listed above with no membership or fees. This site is strictly lyrics with no music or games.

Lantern - http://www.lanterntree.com/ - This site has a listing of hundreds of lyrics for children’s songs. It also has nursery rhymes listed. From this site you can purchase music cd’s and books for your kids. The link for purchasing things takes you straight to EBay.

While we are on the subject of music, I recently received a new children’s CD called The Singing Nurse. The singing nurse was created by a woman named Dawn who is a nurse and has worked with children for over 30 years. Some of her 30 years experience involved working with the Head Start Program. The CD she has created contains educational and inspirational songs. The educational songs are up beat and fun and include songs about healthy bathing, not spreading germs, teeth brushing, and there is one about the dentist being a good guy. Most of the inspirational songs are more relaxing melodies with motivational lyrics. You can visit the website www.thesingingnurse.com and listen to some of the songs, view lyrics to some of the songs, and purchase the CD. This CD is a wonderful addition to any children’s music collection.
