Time to Take a Nap - hip hop nap time song for toddlers by Snuggle Bunch

Time to Take a Nap

About This Song

Nap time isn’t just for kids — it’s a survival strategy for the whole house. “Time to Take a Nap” is the original nap anthem, and it keeps it real: naptime makes everything better! And yeah, we’d nap too if we didn’t have cleanup to do.

This version contains an instrumental mix, perfect if your little one needs a little more time to settle down.

This chill family-friendly rap is perfect for winding down toddlers and preschoolers who need a little convincing that sleep is actually a good idea. Smooth enough for naptime routines, catchy enough that your kid might actually look forward to lying down. We can dream, right?

Lyrics

😴😴😴😴😴😴

It’s time to take a nap
To make you feel good
If you don’t nap
You won’t feel like you should
Because naptime is great
I tell ya it’s true
I’d take a nap too
But I’ve got cleanup to do

Because when you nap
You feel better
Follow this advice
Down to the letter
Take a nap once or twice a day
It’s the best way to slay and play

It’ll keep you feeling good
Until the sun goes down
And when you wake up
We’re gonna paint the town

It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
It’s time to take a nap
Nap time

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    Every parent knows the scene: you just tidied up, turned around for one second, and your toddler has redecorated the entire room with blocks, trains, and dinosaurs. “Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)” captures that moment perfectly, the parenting experience told from the kid’s point of view. My three year old actually said “I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess” and I knew there was a song there!

  • Peanut Butter Sandwich!

    Mom made something amazing for dinner. Dad put together a beautiful plate. And yet, the kid wants a peanut butter sandwich. Every family has that one meal their kid will always choose over whatever you actually cooked, and “Peanut Butter Sandwich!” turns that standoff into a groove. No negotiations, no bribes, just pure loyalty to their favorite food no matter what else is on offer.

  • Ask For Help!

    There’s always that one snack, the favorite toy, the thing your toddler absolutely needs right this second. And instead of asking, they’re already scaling the furniture like a tiny rock climber with zero safety training. “Ask For Help!” is the song for that moment. It’s a gentle reminder that parents are tall for a reason, and there’s no shame in letting someone reach it for you.

  • Broccoli Lovers!

    When my one-year-old discovered broccoli and decides it’s the greatest thing on the planet, I wrote a song about it! “Broccoli Lovers!” was born out of watching our littlest Snuggle Bunch fan devour every piece of broccoli in sight, while his skeptical three-year-old brother looked on, unconvinced. This fun family hip hop track is a love letter to the kids who can’t get enough of the green stuff, and a gentle nudge for the ones still making up their minds.

  • Ducky! (Quack Quack Quack)

    “Ducky! (Quack Quack Quack)” is a little different from other Snuggle Bunch songs. It’s an experimental, sample-based track born from a moment of pure joy — watching my one-year-old spot his favorite rubber ducky and completely lose it with excitement! It’s not a lyrical deep-dive, and it’s not trying to be. It’s a vibe! Playful, chaotic, and overflowing with the kind of happiness only a toddler and a bath toy can create.

  • Bubble Gun!

    If you’ve ever watched a kid see a bunch of bubbles floating through the air and completely lose their mind, you already understand this song. “Bubble Gun!” is about that one toy that turns any afternoon into pure magic. The iridescent shine, the cute spherical shape, and the absolute joy when the bubbles start flying.
