It is best to introduce the sol-fa names by learning to recognise the intervals in familiar nursery songs.
-
Start by teaching your little one So-Mi, which in the scale of C is G and E and sounds like “cuckoo” or “see-saw.”

When So and Mi are familiar, you can introduce La (A).
-
Next you can introduce both Dos, high Do and low Do or bottom C and top C.
-
A very good song for teaching both Dos is The Balloon Song, which can be sung with real balloons and is always very popular!
-
Fixed Do ( used in a lot of the European countries ) where they actually use the sol-fa note names to identify notes rather than letter names (C-D-E etc.) So this means the note names remain the same regardless of the key that is being played.
-
Movable Do where Do is always the tonic. For example, in C major, C is do; in D major, D is do; in E-flat minor, E-flat is do, and so on. And the sol-fa syllables always stay the same when going from one key to the next regardless if there are sharps or flats.
-
The moveable method gets too complex for younger children, so I tend to use the fixed Do method, but just wanted to clarify the difference here.
