Children’s songs can be repetitive. This is said to be good for childrens’ learning, but can get boring for parents. This package helps parents who lack creativity (or energy) to generate childrens’ songs with new words in them. It’s also a great way to get your child (if they’re old enough) to generate a song for themselves. Maybe they’ll get inspired and want to learn R!
This package is not on CRAN. You can install it from GitHub with:
library(devtools)
install_github("mine-cetinkaya-rundel/lullabyr")
Start by loading the package.
