How to play it
Start with three Cs, then climb up to E and back down. The two lines are almost the same, so once your child knows the first one, the second is easy.
Press Listen first to hear the song. Then play the note that glows: the song waits for your child, so there is no rush. Tick Slow for a calmer tempo.
