This video is animal sounds for toddlers and babies. Join us on the farm in this “Talking Time” video that encourages speech with songs and play. We have an animal sounds song for each animal. This video uses techniques recommended by speech therapists to encourage children to use their voices, mimic sounds, animal noises and learn to talk while having fun! It also uses simple songs with gestures, which help children learn to imitate and encourage language and learning.

If you think your child may have a speech delay, definitely talk with your pediatrician. You may qualify for free speech therapy through your state's early intervention program. You can also get evaluated by a speech therapist. You deserve help and are not alone!

Rachel has a masters in music education and teaches preschool music. She is not a speech therapist but she has worked with speech therapists on techniques and ideas. If you are in New York City and are seeking a speech therapist, check out www.chatterboxnyc.com The brilliant speech therapists at Chatter Box are highly recommended and helped with our “Speech Techniques for Toddlers” video.

We also include many songs in our videos because simple songs are shown to help with the development of language and gestures! Gestures and imitation are building blocks of language. We also include some sign language. Baby sign language can help with the development of language and will not impede the development of language at all!

This video may also be helpful to children with apraxia, autism, down syndrome and other developmental delays and special needs. We hope the speech activities, exercises, and training are helpful!

On our channel, we have many more speech practice videos (see our speech playlist) and we also have free preschool class videos (see our preschool class playlist) and full music classes! We have videos for babies, videos for toddlers and videos for kids. Our videos for toddlers are in English. In our videos we work on speech and language, milestones, gestures, pretend play, social emotional learning, dramatic play, art, music, math, science, circle time, finger plays, sensory play and many more activities! We’d love for you to become part of our Songs for Littles family!
