Rhymes for Kids

I have a twin baby girls currently studying in Lower Kinder Garden (LKG) at Velammal Matriculation School, Muggappair, Chennai, India.

Few days back I have created a podcast site for my kids so that i can make them listen to the rhyme and I can also see the lyrics if they are right.

I feel it will be of great use to parents like me.

The Podcast can be viewed here

The podcase can be viewed in your mobile in the following address.


Here is the web player for listening to the rhyme.






The Lyrics of the Rhymes is given below. They have 20 songs in Total plus one Inroduction audio making it 21.
