Coming to YouTube
Our YouTube songs: upbeat songs for ages 3 to 7, all about Molly and Mallow, and all our own. Songs to join in with, songs for every day, and songs about the big feelings.
Two strands, one name
On YouTube
Twenty songs in four lanes, all made for the YouTube channel. Every one is our own: there are no nursery rhymes here.
These are not the songs in the series. Every episode has a song of its own, written for that episode.
Rowing, clapping, counting and actions.
Dip and Pull
Molly rows a dinghy up the Staithe creek, Mallow in the bow.
Dig, Dig, Dig
A clapping game on the harbour wall, and Mallow digs a hole.
Tip the Bucket
Crabbing off the jetty, counting to ten, then letting them all go.
All Along the Coast
The coast bus along the marsh road.
Stars on the Sea
Stars over the salt marsh from Molly’s window.
Pitter-Pat
Rain on the cottage window, then the sun on the creek.
Feelings Come and Go
Happy, sad, cross and scared, in and out like the tide.
Nose to Tail
What Molly has, what Mallow has, and who has the tail.
The routines parents reach for.
Wellies On!
Coat, scarf, yellow wellies, out of the gate.
Bath Time
Sandy feet after the beach.
Brush, Brush, Brush
Mallow helps. Not very well.
Goodnight, Staithe
Goodnight to the boats, the geese and the moon.
Letters, numbers, colours and opposites.
Molly’s Seaside ABC
A for anchor to Z for zig-zag sandcastle.
Counting Boats
One to ten, coming home on the tide.
Colours of the Harbour
Red buoys, the blue crab boat, yellow wellies.
Tide In, Tide Out
In and out, up and down, big and small.
The songs nobody else has.
Too Small
When you can’t see over the harbour wall.
Scared of the Dark
The storm lantern song.
Waiting for the Tide
A seal pup, its mother, and patience.
Seals on the Sandbank
Counting seals from a safe distance.
Calm by design
A skipping, clapping pace. Mostly bright pop with a little coastal folk, sung by grown-ups, by children, and by both together.
A feeling can be named, but the chorus lifts and the last chorus is the brightest. No song ends in a sad place.
Two to two and a half minutes. Lullabies are kept for the bedtime compilations, and they are warm, never wistful.
Every YouTube song is drawn in watercolour and cut gently, holding on faces and animals rather than flashing between them. Like the songs? In Outloud English your child can sing them back to Molly, and she listens.
How every episode ends
Every episode closes with the same small ritual. Molly and your child breathe in as a wave comes in, and out as it goes back. Three times, while Mallow settles into his white puff. It works at bedtime, and it works in the app.
