Welcome to Playsongs Publications

Playsongs Publications is an independent family run business which produces and publishes high quality books and audio CDs for children aged 0-7 years.

It all started in 1987 when Charlie Roberts, then a toddler, inspired her mother Sheena to create a little masterpiece because it was hard to find good music on the market for babies and very young children. Her first recording of songs with a book of all the words of the songs and ideas of actions and games to play, ‘Playsongs Action Songs and Rhymes’, was welcomed by mothers and teachers who were also looking for good music and now Playsongs ‘babies’ are buying and singing Playsongs to their own babies!

Today Playsongs publishes and distributes six titles comprising three books with CDs and three other music CDs. We believe in quality, not quantity but we have ideas in the pipeline for more to come, so stay tuned to Playsongs!

  • We choose songs and rhymes from new and traditional sources and we write our own to create a well balanced variety for the best in enjoyment and educational value.
  • We engage the best people to sing and play them for you on our CDs, and we make our beautifully-illustrated books fun to look at and easy to use. Each book is full of ideas for actions and games to play and contains all the words of the songs.
  • Our music and books give you and your child simple and natural ways to communicate and play which is at the very heart of secure child development.
  • Our activity games and music work equally well in the classroom, at home or travelling.
  • Our first publication, ‘Playsongs Action Songs and Rhymes’ received an award from Practical Pre-School magazine.
  • Other titles available through us are carefully chosen for their excellent quality and compatibility with the Playsongs family.
