Go outside song for kids — "Let's Go Outside!" cover art by Snuggle Bunch

Let’s Go Outside!

About This Song

It could be raining. It could be a hurricane! But the kids need to go outside. We’ve all had the realization that no amount of toys, screen time, or couch forts will substitute for just getting them out the door. “Let’s Go Outside!” is that truth set to a beat, it’s as much a pep talk for us as it is for them.

This high-energy family-friendly rap track captures the universal parenting law that kids simply need fresh air. Rain or shine, ready or not, “Let’s Go Outside” is perfect for toddlers and preschoolers who need a nudge toward the door, and for parents who need the motivation to grab the shoes and go!

Lyrics

You can have the biggest house
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the bestest toys
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the greatest couch
But the kids need to go outside
I really don’t know why
But the kids need to go outside
Let’s go outside!

It could be a rainy day
But the kids need to go outside
It could be a hurricane
But the kids need to go outside
I might barely be alive
But the kids need to go outside
I think I finally get why
We gotta get these kids outside
Let’s go outside!

You can have the biggest house
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the bestest toys
But the kids need to go outside
You could have the greatest couch
But the kids need to go outside
I really don’t know why
But the kids need to go outside
Let’s go outside!

It could be a rainy day
But the kids need to go outside
It could be a hurricane
But the kids need to go outside
I might barely be alive
But the kids need to go outside
I think I finally get why
We gotta get these kids outside
Let’s go outside!

  • Little Bird!

    There’s something special about watching a little bird hop around in a tree. Happy, wild, free, doing a little wiggle and fluffing its feathers. It just clicks with kids! “Little Bird!” captures that wide-eyed wonder. We wrote this one outside of daycare right after dropoff, it has a special place in our hearts!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Time To Get Dressed! (Put on Your Clothes)

    If the morning routine has a final boss, it’s getting your kid into clothes. They’re comfy. They don’t want to exit pajamas. Pants are optional in their worldview. “Time To Get Dressed!” turns the daily clothing struggle into a race against the song, and it really works! Challenge your kids to see if they can get dressed by the end of the song. One leg, two leg, shirt on the body now!
