The Balloon Song (for learning colors) - Little Blue Globe Band

The Balloon Song is the first video I did for Toddler World TV on YouTube. I wrote the song to help my first daughter, Taika, learn colors. I found that it worked so well that I started performing it for other babies and toddlers. And then I got the idea to make a video for it. It's been one of my most successful children's songs, and it's performed and enjoyed around the world.

The video is designed to help toddlers, young children, and older kids who are non-native speakers learn the basic colors. We hope you enjoy the video!

Performed by Little Blue Globe Band

THE BALLOON SONG

Red, red balloon, floating in the sky
Blue, blue balloon, drifting up so high
White, white balloon, flying through the air
Green, green balloon, you can see it everywhere

The balloon song, balloon song, this is the balloon song

Brown, brown balloon, blowing in the wind
Black, black balloon, floating by me again
Purple, purple balloon, such a beautiful thing
Orange Orange balloon, makes me want to sing

The balloon song, balloon song, this is the balloon song

Ok...let's sing it a little quieter now...are you ready? Let's go...

Yellow, yellow balloon, high above the trees
Pink, pink balloon, coming back to me
Coming back to me
Coming back to me
