Washing Machine and Cat

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, our magic bag of sounds has placed us at home with Leo and his Grandad. Leo is helping helping with the chores around the house. There are always new things to hear, even when you're at home - but today we're listening out for two quite familiar sounds. Can you spot them?


We link each sound with words to help develop your little one's vocabulary and engagement with the world around them.

Sing along with Lucy for the Washing Machine and Cat song, lyrics below.


Verse 1


Spending time at home doing chores

There are lots of sounds to explore

Meow says the cat as he jumps around

The basket is making a creaky sound

A whir and a whoosh as the washing spins round

Leo loves all of the sounds



Verse 2


Listen close to what we have heard

For every sound we learn a new word

Quiet ones, noisy ones, whistles and clangs

Booming and whispering, crashes and bangs

Our sound adventure has just begun

Let’s listen and learn everyone.
