First thing you have to do is to introduce new songs to your little kids. You can sing those songs in front of your children. Nevertheless, it is suggested that you use some media, like computer, iPod, mp3 or mp4 player. With such media they will be more excited since those media players can perform the songs with the music instruments which make them easier listening.
Then, one important thing you need to do is to practice singing the songs with your little kids as often as possible. Repeat the song which seems to be new for them so that they can understand and memorize the lyrics. Don't give too many songs in one time because they will be confused and feel difficult to remember them. Besides, choose those with simple lyrics.
When your children have known the songs, ask them to sing with you or with their friends. You can sing that songs anywhere and anytime you are around them, like when they are getting dressed, going to bed, or washing hands). Before they start the day or are ready for school, try to ask them to sing a song with you. It will increase their mood so that your little children will feel happy during the day, especially their school time.
Use your creativity to make educative songs. Ensure that the songs are simple and easy for them. Or, you can search any songs in the internet. You can pick out those which contain numbers in their lyrics, such as "Five Little Ducks" and "Ten Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed". With these songs they can learn how to count numbers up and down.
If you feel that it is difficult to create a new song, you can use the tune of some kids' song like what have been mentioned above, or of songs they have known. You only need to change the lyrics. Your children will be happy with those songs since they will be able to remember and sing it easily. Sometimes you can ask them to create their own songs by this method.
