Littlestorybug’s new video for the Holidays

Greetings and Happy Holidays to all. My husband and I were busy trying to record and edit the newest video for our YouTube Channel.  It is called, “Santa’s Hat.” We wanted a song with a fun and catchy tune that would help preschoolers learn colors through repetition.

In this song you will hear many voices, however it’s just me singing in different octaves. My husband, Bill, created the music and I created the lyrics.  I have already received lots of positive feedback from parents and teachers. Don’t forget to check our other LittleStoryBug videos on Youtube. ENJOY!

Encourage Your Child to do Their Very Best

If you expect the best behavior and performance from your child, it’s often what you will get. Children pick up on our beliefs about them, form a self-concept that matches that belief, and perform accordingly.
