Ainsi Font Font Font

5min read

Singing songs with a baby is a great way to encourage their early communication. It helps the bond between adult and child, supports brain development and also language development as it increases access to key words and sounds. 

How does this nursery rhyme help?

Ainsi Font Font Font is a beautiful song that is interactive, explores a different culture and helps a young child in the development of their language skills. This is a great way to introduce a second language.

It also encourages fine motor skills as they copy turning their wrists clockwise and counterclockwise while an adult sings this song to them. Singing together supports children's understanding of different emotions.

In this video, mum is introducing the French language to her son in a simple and fun way. Using songs from other cultures is a great way to teach your young child about the different communities around the world. It can help them enjoy languages, learn about cultures and people from all over the world.

Rhyme lyrics

Ainsi font, font, font
Les petites marionnettes
Ainsi font font font
Trois petits tours 
Et puis s'en vont
Elle reviendront
Les petites marionnettes
Elles reviendront
Quand les autres partiront
