    Tapent, tapent, petites mains – Clap, Clap, Little Hands – A French Pat-a-cake Song with a YouTube Video

    Pat-a-cake songs can be found throughout the western world. They help teach children to use their hands…

    Tapent, tapent, petites mains
    Tourne, tourne, joli moulin,
    Nage, nage, gentil poisson
    Vole, vole papillon

    Clap, clap, little hands,
    Turn, turn, pretty mill,
    Swim, swim, nice fish,
    Fly, fly, butterfly!

    We’d love for you to share a Pat-a-cake song from your country in the comments below or by emailing me.

    Cheers!

    Mama Lisa

    PS I’m curious if there are Pat-a-cake Songs in Asia and Africa.
