10 Fun Preschool Songs About Body Parts

Songs are one of my absolute favorite ways to teach, and today I have 10 Fun Preschool Songs about Body Parts. These songs help children identify and learn names for different body parts, while getting out some wiggles.

You can start singing these songs with your children much earlier than preschool. I sing to my babies and move their hands when they are still tiny. As they start learning to speak, these songs are a great way for them to expand their vocabulary. They’re also a lot of fun to do together and can be great mommy-toddler bonding time.

In preschool, songs are a great way to teach as well as create brain breaks. Attention span can be a struggle at 3 and 4-years-old. These songs get children up and moving while still learning at the same time.

Here are our 10 favorite body parts songs for preschool

Preschool Songs About Body Parts

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes – Anonymous

This is such a fun song! I’ve been singing it since I was a small child. We typically start out slow, touching each body part as we sing it. Then, we try the fast version, where inevitably we get a little lost at the end. For those that want a SUPER challenge, try singing it backwards!!

The Wiggle Song – Amy Nielson at Planning Playtime

This is a song I created to use with my own kids. It’s great for a stretch after a bit of work time.

If You’re Happy and You Know it – Anonymous

We love this interactive song. The variations make it even more exciting. Sometimes we try to do more than one variation at a time. It’s great motor skills and coordination practice for little and big minds alike.
