This song isn't related to cities, but it was too exciting not to share! It's a great song for any age group, but it worked well with the under twos. Caregivers with babies could point to each body part, while the older children actively participated.

I included another six songs that did not cover cities. I try to incorporate songs that can be modified for babies and toddlers.
