Nursery rhymes and play songs to enjoy with your baby. Gentle children's songs.

We’d like to introduce some nursery songs to enjoy with your baby.

These days, many babies are exposed to music from the time they’re in the womb through prenatal education.

Some families sing nursery rhymes as lullabies to help put their babies to sleep.

In this article, we’ve gathered gentle nursery songs and lullabies you’ll want to listen to with your baby, along with playful songs great for childcare and popular anime tunes.

They’re all fun songs that even babies who don’t understand words yet can enjoy.

Please try listening together as a parent and child.

Also perfect for baby massage!
