When my daughter was about 4 (18 years back) we discovered and recorded The Elephant Show on telly.
Now we've put them on DVD and our grandaughter, (not yet 3) loves to have them on - she doesn't just sit and watch, she'll sing, dance or just play in the same room. It might look as if she's ignoring it but when the disc ends she lets you know she wants more.
Yes, I know you're not supposed to use the TV as a baby sitter, but the songs on the Elephant Show are mainly folk songs and she's soaking them up like a sponge. It's one way of learning the language.
Plus, its something I don't mind listening to myself - much better than a lot of kiddy shows!
