| Twinkle Twinkle Little Star – Suzanne Shaw launches Rhyme Stars |
|
|
|
‘Dancing on Ice’ winner Suzanne Shaw has launched Rhyme Stars, a new campaign from I CAN and Openreach to search for the nation’s favourite nursery rhyme.
For every vote for a favourite childhood rhyme logged on www.rhymestars.co.uk ,
I CAN will receive £1 from Openreach, a BT business.
By nominating a favourite nursery rhyme, members of the public will unlock a £50,000 target donation to I CAN - an easy way to contribute free of charge towards the charity’s work to improve children’s speech, language and communication development across the UK.
An additional ‘sing and share’ feature on the website offers children and adults alike the opportunity to showcase their talents through recording their favourite nursery rhymes online, releasing a further £2 per song from Openreach for the first 2500 songs recorded.
“Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” has already earned a top vote from Celebrity Mum of the Year, Suzanne, who posed as her favourite rhyme for the launch of the campaign. She said: “Some of my most memorable moments as a child involved singing. I guess I never outgrew it, and now my son loves singing nursery rhymes too. In addition to the obvious fun factor, reciting nursery rhymes can make a significant difference to children’s communication skills and overall confidence.” She continued: “I loved transforming into a twinkling star for the day to launch Rhyme Stars – it was almost as much fun as skating.”
