Water songs for children and the young at heart

By Traci Hickson | March 31, 2021

The Earth Song List has more than 700 songs+ listed in the children’s music genre. To celebrate World Water Day, we’d like to lift up and share a sample of these songs about water, drinking water, the water cycle, water habitats, and our water planet.

This is by no means a complete list. Suggestions are welcome. To hear a sample of songs and artists, enjoy our playlist Water Songs for Children and the Young at Heart.
