Tha mise mòr; tha luchag beag

A fun and lively song to bounce your baby along to. They will love some tickles – maybe the little mouse is scurrying up their arm! Gently open their arms out and in for big and small.

This is a lovely short song, don’t be afraid to repeat it over and over again with your toddler. Include clear actions for big and small – this is the perfect time to help them begin to understand these concepts.

Pre-schoolers will enjoy pretending to be little mice by squeaking and scurrying. Can they make themselves big and small by stretching and crouching? This is a good song for groups of children and is easy to join in with. Try extending it by including other small animals.
