The whole family is welcome to sing kindergarten songs in Finnish !\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

Inspired by the singing together at Leiksk\u00f3li, came the need to sing kindergarten songs in Finnish! Singing supports linguistic development and is of course fun, especially together. In addition, it maintains and supports our cultural and emotional ties to Finland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I, Elli, am familiar face from the story hours at the Nordic House, the mother of four-year-old bilingual S\u00f6lvi and an early childhood education teacher in Reykjavik. My responsibilities for the last couple of years have included, among other things, playing ukulele and singing our kindergarten’s singing hall.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You can listen to the songs being sung here and if you have any suggestions (in Finnish) , please leave them in the comments!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
