About This Song

One of our first songs was a lullaby featuring folk singer Mama Goose. After recording, we decided to let Foxy have a shot at recording this a laid-back, melodic spin on one of our first tracks. It hits different when you need something a little softer to wind things down. Featuring an extended outro thats designed to give parents the time to pause the music and sneak out of the room.

This gentle family hip hop nap time song is perfect for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers who need a little extra convincing that rest is worth it. Follow this advice down to the letter — nap time is great, and now it sounds even better!

If your little one loved this, check out Time to Take a Nap, I’m Not Tired, and Inside Voices for more calming Snuggle Bunch songs!

Wind-down tip: this song anchors the final phase of our toddler bedtime routine playlist.

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 nap time is great, I tell you it’s true
I’d take a nap too, but I’ve got clean up 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, nap time
Nap time, nap time

  • Little Bird!

    ByWolfie

    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!

  • Let’s Go Outside!

    ByWolfie

    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.

  • Squeaky Clean!

    ByFoxy Rox

    Bath time in our house goes one of two ways: absolute refusal to get in, or absolute refusal to get out. Usually both. “Squeaky Clean!” is for that first hurdle — getting everyone into the tub with minimal negotiations. Once the suds are flowing and the rub-a-dub-dub kicks in, even the most reluctant bather starts having a good time. Just please don’t pee! We’re trying to get clean.

  • THREEnager!

    ByWolfie

    They want it. They need it. They must have it right now! You hand it over and…nope, they don’t want it anymore, it’s on the floor. Welcome to three. “THREEnager!” is told from the kid’s perspective — they make a fair point: they’ve only been on this planet for three short years, everything is a challenge. That doesn’t make the “why why why” phase any easier to survive, but at least now it has a beat!

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    ByWolfie

    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!
