Crunch My Carrots!

posted by: Rachel

It’s time to hear from our favorite Music Therapist…Rachel See Smith…her song this month is so cute!

This month’s “eating a rainbow” song inspiration comes from my good friend, Ginny Driscoll (http://notablemusique.com), who is also board-certified music therapist (Thanks, Ginny, for sharing your
song!).

What I like about “Crunch my Carrots < click the name to listen ” :

1. It is repetitive (Great for reinforcing key words and providing multiple opportunities for a child with articulation difficulties to practice certain phonemes!)

2. There are multiple verses about munching on healthy foods!

3. This is one catchy song (Warning: this one willstay in your head for hours!)

4. It makes talking about eating veggies and fruits FUN! (The bouncy, up-tempo beat will get your toes a tappin’!)

Check out my recorded version of the song, the free sheet music .pdf and lyrics sheet ( http://www.scribd.com/doc/77504220/Crunch-My-Carrots )…enjoy!

** For an added challenge: Develop a few new verses with your child or client!
