What Sound Does It Make?

Animal sounds are so much fun! Kids love making them and it helps them sort out language sounds as well. Make animal sounds every chance you get - when you're out and about, playing with animal toys and especially when you are reading books together.


SING

Old MacDonald

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O.
