About This Video
A lamb, a calf, a kitten, a puppy, a foal, a duckling, a chick, a piglet, a kid (baby goat) and a fawn (baby deer) all parade across the screen in the most joyful, bouncing singalong this side of a spring barn. For each baby animal, the song names it, names its parent, asks the young viewer to repeat the name and then invites everyone to make the animal's sound together as loudly as possible. Knowing what baby animals are called is one of those delightful early knowledge achievements that children love to demonstrate.
Perfect for children aged 2 to 6 learning baby animal names. After watching, test the knowledge — 'what is a baby horse called?' 'what is a baby goose called?' — a gosling! Children love knowing correct answers that adults sometimes do not. Free to watch.

Parents' Questions
Which baby animals and their names does this singalong parade song teach?
This baby animal parade song teaches the correct name for every common baby animal. Lamb (baby sheep), calf (baby cow — also baby elephant, baby giraffe and baby whale, which surprises children), kitten (baby cat), puppy (baby dog), foal (baby horse), duckling (baby duck), chick (baby chicken), piglet (baby pig), kid (baby goat — which amuses children because 'kid' is also a word for a human child), fawn (baby deer), gosling (baby goose), and joey (baby kangaroo — a marsupial bonus that delights everyone). Each name is sung, repeated and then rehearsed through the call-and-response format of the song.
Why is knowing baby animal names an important early vocabulary achievement?
Baby animal vocabulary — lamb, foal, fawn, gosling — represents a specific category of knowledge that children find enormously satisfying to possess and to demonstrate. It builds the habit of precise naming rather than approximate naming ('baby horse' versus 'foal'), developing the exactness of language that serves children well across all vocabulary learning. It also creates confident knowledge moments — children aged 3 to 5 genuinely love knowing that a baby deer is a fawn and that their parents might not have known, which builds the confidence to ask and answer knowledge questions that transfers powerfully to more formal learning contexts.
What age is the Baby Animal Parade singalong song designed for?
Designed for children aged 2 to 6. Two to three year olds are absorbing animal names for the first time — the parade format, with one animal appearing at a time with its sound, is exactly the right pace for this age. Children aged 4 to 6 consolidate the specific baby names and love testing others: 'Do you know what a baby goose is called?' For all ages, the call-and-response format that asks children to repeat each name and then make the sound creates active participation that memorises the vocabulary far more effectively than passive watching.
