Singing rhymes and songs together is a great way to bond with your baby, and it will support their language development by introducing them to new sounds and rhythms.
Sing the words and do the actions with your baby on your lap or in front of you. Your baby learns from you. They will like to watch your face and copy your expressions.
Don't forget to add your baby's name as you sing the song.
Bouncing Baby Lyrics:
What shall we do with a bouncy (baby's name)?
What shall we do with a bouncy (baby's name)?
What shall we do with a bouncy (baby's name)?
Early in the morning.
Tickle, tickle, tickle their tummy,
Tickle, tickle, tickle their tummy,
Tickle, tickle, tickle their tummy,
Early in the morning.
Let's stroke, stroke, stroke their legs,
Let's stroke, stroke, stroke their legs,
Let's stroke, stroke, stroke their legs,
Early in the morning.
Stretch, stretch, stretch their arms out,
Stretch, stretch, stretch their arms out,
Stretch, stretch, stretch their arms,
Early in the morning.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle their fingers,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle their fingers,
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle their fingers,
Early in the morning.
