Songs for children in French

Les Chansons Des Clipounets are CDs and DVDs and even an app with comptines (nursery rhyme songs). For ages 1 and up, the DVD is awesome! It has animated videos that illustrates the lyrics of traditional French nursery rhymes, such as Frère Jacques . The DVDs are designed for language stimulation and to introduce sounds, words, and sentences to babies.

Check out the Clipounets website for all of the DVDs, apps and more …
