Digger and Spade

Listen on

Episode notes

In this episode, our magic bag of sounds has placed us at nursery with Naomi and her friends.The builders are turning part of a the nursey garden into a new sand pit. Digging and building makes some new and interesting 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.


Brought to you by Small Wardour, makers of award-winning podcasts for kids.


Sing along with Lucy for the Digger and Spade song, lyrics below.


Verse 1


When we play and dig in the sand

We use a spade to give us a hand

The nursery garden is full of sound

Watching the digger make holes in the ground

It rumbles and lifts all the dirt away

We’ll play in the sandpit all day



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.
