Mealtimes are an important part of the day for children - a time to come together, share food and enjoy one another’s company. Families may find children more enthusiastic about mealtimes when it’s a shared experience together, when everyone settles into the shared rhythm of mealtime.

Marla’s Tip - This gentle melody can reach children who may be completely absorbed in their play, softly signalling to them that it’s time to transition into preparing and gathering for a meal. Sing this song to let children know that mealtime is approaching.

Perfect for

  • Families with toddlers, preschoolers & young children

  • Childcare and Family Day Care

  • Kindergarten, Classrooms and Preschool

  • Self-regulation development

  • Social skills development

I hope this little song brings more ease and joy to your day
