The ukulele is a perfect instrument for kids to learn. Its small size means that kid’s hands and fingers can easily get to grips with the four strings. And, let’s face it, the ukulele is much quieter and easier on the ears than a drum set or violin.
If you’re looking to learn some songs for your kids and want your little ones to learn some fun ukulele songs, you’re in the right place. We have gathered some of the best children’s songs, lullabies, and nursery rhymes that are easy to play and sound great!
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
We had to start with this classic children’s song. As one of the best and most beloved nursery rhymes in the world, the chords in the song are C-F-G-G7. Don’t be surprised if the little ones start to sing along with this at the same time.

Another very famous nursery rhyme, Humpty Dumpty is one for the whole family to sing along with. The chords in this are C-G7-F.

Hi, my name is David Williams, and I play the french horn. However, I can also play the piano, violin, and the majority of wind instruments. I have been reading music and playing musical instruments from a young age, and I love regularly playing instruments as part of an orchestra. There is something so fantastic about hearing the instruments all come together to perform an impressive piece of music, especially when it is a classical piece.
I recently decided to share my love for music and instrument playing online, in the hopes that it would encourage others to try something new. Playing an instrument is both fantastic and rewarding. Through this blog, I hope that you will gain a clearer understanding of both music and musical instruments.
