I have more free Daniel Tiger songs about social emotional learning strategies for you! These songs include a variety of themes about taking care of your body. Even though this post with free Daniel Tiger songs was published third, any order is fine for the posts in this series.
As I said before, while Daniel Tiger isn’t a Montessori-style character, the Daniel Tiger series, books, and DVDs have amazing social-emotional learning tools for children … and for their parents and caregivers to use in helping children.
Disclosure: This post contains some Amazon affiliate links (at no cost to you).
This post (and series) are based on the book Daniel’s Little Songs for Big Feelings (More than 50 strategy song lyrics, helpful tips for parents and caregivers, and more!). I think this is a fabulous book with so many great songs for social-emotional learning for kids and helpful hints for grown-ups. The kids’ part is recommended for ages 3-7. I love that this book (and Daniel Tiger in general) uses the teachings of Fred Rogers. My only complaint is that there are lyrics without the melody for each song.
The hardcover is only $8.49 on Amazon, and it has 112 pages packed with helpful strategies for both kids and adults! The 2-page spread about each song has short song lyrics, ideas telling the child when to sing the song, and a little story from the Daniel Tiger series that shows why the song is important. Finally, there are helpful hints for grown-ups at the end of each 2-page spread. So much amazing content about each song … and a monumental amount of helpful content in one children’s book!
Because I value having the melody for each song, I’m compiling songs from YouTube and PBS to go with each concept in the book. I’m making a series so that I don’t cover over 50 songs in a never-ending blog post! There will be la bit of overlap in concepts, but kids typically don’t mind a bit of repetition when that occurs!
The completed series will include these posts (with links to be added as the posts are published):
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About New Experiences {Social Emotional Learning} (1st post in the series, but any order is fine.)
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Big Feelings {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Taking Care of Your Body {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Growing Up and Being Independent {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Family {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Friends and Neighbors {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Playtime {Social Emotional Learning}
- Free Daniel Tiger Songs About Staying Safe and Being Scared {Social Emotional Learning}
Thanks to my 3-year-old grandson, Caleb for letting me borrow his Daniel Tiger stuffed toy for the main series image! This stuffed toy actually sings some of the most popular songs and says 10 phrases when his hand is squeezed. My daughter and son-in-law are like me in getting very few toys with batteries. But this one is sweet!
Social Emotional Learning Strategies for Older Kids
Daniel Tiger has great social-emotional learning strategies for any age, but it’s obviously designed for younger kids and their parents. I’ve found that it’s great to have older siblings read Daniel Tiger books to their younger siblings and/or watch some of the videos with their younger siblings. If they feel like they’re the teacher, they’ll still benefit from the amazing messages, too!
I’m also a huge fan of Big Life Journal, which has growth mindset resources for a variety of ages (for ages 4-10 and 11+). Big Life Journal has so many awesome products (and free printables for newsletter subscribers)! You can see all the Big Life Journal resources here. Read my blog post about Big Life Journal here.

Free Daniel Tiger Songs about Taking Care of Your Body – Videos
I’ll put the page number of each song if you want to find songs that go well with the songs in the book. The book isn’t essential, but I highly recommend it! Daniel Tiger books are very reasonably priced and have such great messages for both children and adults! There is so much content in this book! It’s like a book of social-emotional strategies for life for young children and a parenting course for adults!
