Skinnamarink Lyrics
Written in 1910, this playful love song became famous through children's television, particularly Sharon, Lois & Bram's classic kids show. The nonsense syllables make it irresistible for young children. Best for ages 2–7. The classic hand motions — point to your eyes, your heart, then to the other person — physically perform "I love you" in a way young children can repeat back. Preschool teachers use it for both Mother's Day and Father's Day performances because it gives even shy 4-year-olds a confident, concrete way to express affection.
