The tiny tot stepped onto the stage to sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star to a large and appreciative audience.
"It's exciting," she said.
"I've been practising every day."
Proud mum Serina made the black and silver sparkly costume, which also featured a halo of stars around Taiha's head.
"This is her first eisteddfod and we're very proud," she said.
Kyle Gilmour's mum Cath was just as proud of her young performer as he stepped onto the stage to give his best rendition of Little Jack Horner.
Six-year-old Kyle made the performance complete with a plum pie made by his mum.
"I'm kind of nervous," he said.
Vocal adjudicator Janet Rutledge said the nursery rhyme section was the highlight of the eisteddfod for her.
"I look for kids that are really enjoying what they're doing," she said.
"I also look for originality in the costumes, although that's the parents' work really.
"The nursery rhyme performers are lovely and I never get tired of watching them."
