Summer Fun Starts Early with babyboomboom

Babies and toddlers are getting themselves ready for their European summer holidays with babyboomboom's musical, interactive, multi-lingual CDs. The CDs contain well-known songs and nursery rhymes sung in English with each verse repeated in a second language – available in French, Spanish, with German, Italian and Polish to follow shortly.
The concept behind the idea is that through active play and listening, babies and toddlers pick up simple sounds and words. Before they can talk, parents and carers may find the children doing the actions in the right places (even in the second language) and as they start to talk will witness them gradually repeat more and more. In time, the children familiarise themselves with the language, and amaze parents and carers at just how much they have picked up – giving them a headstart in life whilst having lots of fun.
The babyboomboom series aims to stimulate the children's minds with sounds such as drum beating, clapping hands as well as the familiar sounds of the repetition of traditional nursery rhymes, albeit in another languages. The whole idea is that children will be learning without realising it and enjoying themselves at the same time.
Juliet Machan, co-founder says, “We are not trying to teach children languages, but to familiarise and stimulate with a view to unlocking the potential of our little one minds whilst having lots of fun. Research shows that babies recognise music that they have heard frequently from a very early age – even whilst in the womb, and we all know how good babies are at mimicking what they see and hear in their daily routine.
“Languages are an important aspect of the future, to such an extent that many pre-schools have introduced French into their curriculum. We are certainly not trying to take over their role but want to give our little ones exposure to the sounds of foreign languages so that in years to come they won't be an alien concept.”
