Christmas Songs for Toddlers

I've been looking for some Christmas songs for toddlers, sung to traditional nursery rhyme tunes that they are familiar with, so we don't just sing Away in a Manger, Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer and Jingle Bells. We go into church on our last toddler group before Christmas, decorate the Christmas tree, sing a few songs and have a Christmas story - the "Little Owl and the Star" by Mary Murphey is perfect for toddlers.

Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star

(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star, Way up high is where you are, Up above the world so high, Like an angel in the sky, Guiding Wise Men on their way, To where baby Jesus lay.

Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Lights

(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star)

Twinkle, twinkle Christmas Lights,

Father Christmas came last night.

Down the chimney with all the toys,

Woke me up with all the noise.

Twinkle twinkle Christmas Lights,

Father Christmas came last night
