“Put Your Hands Up In The Air” by Hap Palmer

available on iTunes

So many children’s recordings, especially

those meant for movement, are overly complicated,

or just plain go too fast for young children. Instead

of a fun experience, the children just feel confused

or frustrated. That’s why “Put Your Hands in the Air”

is one of my favorites, particularly for very young children,

toddler and twos. It has a leisurely, lilting beat and the

movements are very easy and fun. My students all

love this song too!
